How did you decide to go into your field?
I originally worked in a completely different field, running a tea business, before being introduced to bodywork by two massage therapists. Although my transition into massage therapy began gradually, I quickly found myself drawn to the meaningful impact it has on people’s well-being. Over time, what started as curiosity grew into a genuine passion for the work I do today.
WHAT MAKES YOU UNIQUE IN YOUR FIELD?
Since beginning my practice in 2017, I have specialized in deep tissue and trigger point therapy, helping clients release chronic tension and address muscular imbalances at their source. My approach is intentional and precise, blending therapeutic depth with a calm, grounded presence, and I believe that effective bodywork goes beyond relieving discomfort — it also supports long-term performance, overall well-being, and a sense of balance.
