My pathway to massage therapy began with a basic anatomy course in high school. I wanted to go straight into massage therapy after graduating but was highly encouraged to pursue a 4 year college degree by my parents. After completing a BS in history and travel and tourism and then using that knowledge to travel the world for the next 6 months, I returned home to Michigan with this nagging need to pursue and learn massage therapy.

I discovered my passion for this beautiful blend of science and intuition, developing a strong sense in this very physical and hands-on art form. I love being a massage therapist because at my core I’m a nurturer and it’s a wonderful tool to interact with and develop connections with people on a very brief and personal level while making someone feel better physically, and  sometimes emotionally, and mentally. 

After completing my training at the Ann Arbor Institute of Massage Therapy in 2009, I've dedicated myself to helping people find relief from pain and stress.
