I became interested in massage after learning about alternative medicine and energy healing. When I received my first massage, I thought, “What have I been missing all this time?” I was hooked right away. I loved the experience of floating in that place of “no-time” and feeling my body heal itself. I wanted others to experience that feeling.

 

After completing the massage program at Headlines Academy in Rapid City, SD, in 2005, I mentored with a massage therapist who has been in the business for 30 years. I like to say she taught me everything I know.

 

My interest in energy medicine has also led me to study Reiki. Reiki helps me to listen to the body and tune in to the flow of energy.  Since becoming a Reiki Master, I also teach classes in Reiki.  I also studied Bodytalk and became and certified BodyTalk practitioner in 2011, adding to my toolbox of Energywork techniques.

​

For me, whether giving or receiving, bodywork is sacred space. Space where time can stop, healing and inspiration can occur, or a person can reconnect with his or her inner self.

​

My other interests include reading, hiking with my dogs, camping, and crafts.
