About Me

After many years managing a restaurant and feeling a deep desire to make a positive impact on others' lives, I decided to shift my focus towards a new career path. It was in 2015 when my family and I decided to move back to our beloved Northern Michigan, and I took this opportunity to enroll in the prestigious Marquette School of Therapeutic Massage. With intense dedication and hard work, I completed the program and passed my Massage Therapy Boards, solidifying my credentials as a licensed massage therapist.

However, my thirst for knowledge and eagerness to help others didn't stop there. Driven by my passion for understanding the human body, I made it a priority to continuously expand my expertise. This led me to become a certified personal trainer, allowing me to guide individuals on their fitness journeys. Additionally, I completed the precision nutrition level 1 coaching program, enabling me to offer holistic advice on maintaining a healthy diet.

Never one to settle, I took the opportunity to further my education by graduating from Northern Michigan University. Equipped with a newfound wealth of knowledge and credentials, my dedication to helping others led me to become a certified provider of Active Release Technique Spine Level 1. This advanced technique allows me to address specific issues and provide targeted relief.

Through my ongoing training and experiences, my approach to massage therapy has evolved significantly. I have come to prioritize listening to the body's intricate nervous system, allowing it to guide my every movement and touch. Recognizing that each individual's response is unique, I understand that it can take varying amounts of time for the nervous system to calm down and fully embrace the therapeutic benefits of massage. As a result, I have learned to adapt and tailor my bodywork sessions to accommodate the comfort level of each patient, ensuring they feel safe and at ease throughout their treatment.

In conclusion, my journey from restaurant management to the field of massage therapy and beyond has been a transformative one. Every step I have taken and every certification I have attained has only served to reinforce my commitment to helping others and providing personalized care. Armed with a deep understanding of the human body and a passion for healing, I am grateful for the opportunity to make a positive impact on the lives of those I treat.
