How did you decide to go into your field?

When I got my degree in Exercise Science, my intention was to become a collegiate coach in cross country and track and field.  Shortly after fulfilling that dream, I realized I wanted to pursue a path that would help others with injuries and pain. I spent many years in my youth struggling with running injuries and taking me away from my passion of running, and I wanted to help myself and others get back to what they love to do! Massage was a way that I could combine my knowledge of the human body with my need to help others on a healing path. 

What Makes You unique in your field?

I love to get to the root of why pain patterns exist. I don’t just want to help relieve my clients of pain for a short time, I want them to understand why the pain exists. That way we can work together to get rid of the pain for good. I enjoy empowering my clients to help themselves along the path of healing. Our bodies innately know how to heal if we provide the ideal environment to make that happen.
