Who am I 

During childhood, I was taught to appreciate the great outdoors and all the natural world has to offer. As an adult, I engage in and enjoy a large variety of activities including backpacking, hiking, running, biking, skiing, canoe/kayaking, traveling, education, reading, yoga, and meditation. These activities are essential to my overall mental, physical, and spiritual health. I hope to impart the well-being and inner peace that I have achieved to my clients. 

Over the past 14 years, I have successfully practiced as a licensed massage therapist in Bellaire, Petoskey, and Nashville. I specialize in therapeutic massage, including sports massage, injury recovery, deep tissue, myofascial, trigger point therapy, pregnancy, stretching, cupping, manual lymphatic drainage and meditation. I administer deep massage that helps clients overcome hypertonic muscles and injuries. At the other end of the spectrum, I provide relaxing, meditative massages and am also a Reiki practitioner, yoga teacher training and meditation teacher.

I have extensive experience working collaboratively with chiropractors and other medical professionals to assess and develop therapeutic strategies for addressing a wide variety of musculoskeletal problems. I am oncology certified, receiving oncology training at Beaumont Hospital, and have nearly completed my sports therapy certification. I firmly believe that massage therapy not only benefits the body, but also the mind, and is an important part of overall health care. 

Peace,
