About Me
I was born in raised in Southern California. In the search for finding myself the universe lead me to massage school. Never having received a massage myself at the time I wasn’t entirely sure what to expect. I attended Bryman College Massage Therapy program where I immediately fell in love with massage and found my life purpose. I graduated in 2004 with 720 hours but I didn’t stop there. I was drawn to deep tissue, sports and other therapeutic modalities. I worked with athletes and clients recovering from various types of injuries. Struggling from chronic pain myself I continued to learn as much as I could about sports medicine and other therapeutic techniques to bring into my practice. I went on to study health and sports nutrition at Irvine Valley College but then I realized I needed a change and to leave the hustle and bustle of So. Cal so I moved to the Iowa to enjoy the slower pace of the country life style of the Midwest. I became Nationally Certified in massage. In 2015 I found myself living here in Boise and fell in love with all that Idaho has to offer. I continue to take classes on any modalities I can to enhance my treatment for my clients. I have spent years trying to perfect my massage technique the best I can cause no two people are the same and everyone has different needs I do my best to stay well rounded in modalities for the best results. I recently received my Reiki Master training and introducing energy healing into my practice. When Im not massaging I enjoy being out in nature as much as possible, spending time with family friends and my small herd of animals.
