Bio:
<p>After graduating from National Holistic Institute in 1996, I left my administrative job of twelve years to pursue a career in Massage Therapy.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; During my time in that &ldquo;job&rdquo;, I knew I wanted a career helping people.&nbsp;&nbsp; I&nbsp; didn&rsquo;t know what that path would be until I got a massage from my former boss, who had recently quit the company to do massage.&nbsp;&nbsp; I was hooked, and knew THIS was it. &nbsp;</p><p>For almost 20 years, I have been blessed with wonderful clients. &nbsp; It is such a joy to feel knots release in my hands, and&nbsp; &ldquo;brow frowns&rdquo; to soften under my fingers.&nbsp; To facilitate and be present for deep healing and relaxation is an honor. &nbsp;&nbsp; My mission has changed over the years as I&nbsp; explored different avenues, but I have discovered my true&nbsp; passion has always been encouraging and teaching people to take good care of themselves.&nbsp;&nbsp; Of course, this meant that I have had to grow myself both personally and professionally!</p><p>Two&nbsp; major things I&rsquo;ve added to my life and work are Reiki and Facelift Massage.&nbsp; After becoming a Reiki Master, I found that it served me more as a spiritual path than a&nbsp; professional one, but it definitely enhances all areas of my life, and complements each massage and skin care session.&nbsp;&nbsp; I became a Licensed Esthetician in 2007 so I could do a complete facial along with the&nbsp; unique Facelift Massage treatment I have created.</p><p>I believe maintaining healthy skin and a relaxed, nurtured body are part of a sincere approach to overall wellness. My goal is to mentor and guide You into creating optimal well-being in those areas, as they can spill into important areas of our lives such as our career, and relationships. &nbsp; &nbsp;How we take care of ourselves is reflected back to us by our goals and in the eyes of other people. &nbsp; It is not only OK to pamper ourselves, it is essential to our &nbsp;sense of self love and appreciation. &nbsp; &nbsp; It is part of being who we truly are.</p>
