Why a career in Massage Therapy?
My story of becoming a massage therapist comes from a long journey of hardships, generational trauma, emotional healing, and spiritual awakening. My empathic abilities were born from a particularly dark and challenging period of my life, as I had experienced a tragic loss of a stillborn child in 2016.
I was desperate to find a sense of purpose in life after loss, and began embarking on this profound journey to discover the true meaning of healing on all levels—physical, emotional, and spiritual.
Loss and grief became my teachers of compassion, which had also piqued my interest in hospice and integrative therapies.
During my training, I became fascinated with how emotional pain can manifest into physical pain. Philosophies from the Eastern segment (Acupressure, Energy Work, Reflexology, Shiatsu, and Thai) contributed to my understanding of the spiritual aspects of healing through touch and bodywork.
Practicing massage in the professional world has shown me that there is more to what we feel as “tension” or “knots,” and that stress/pain stems from a deeper level of the human/physical condition. Honing an empathic and intuitive skill of understanding another’s pain has now become my newfound purpose and practice.
Everyone has a story: from illness, unexpected injuries, life and health changes, traumatic experiences, or chronic pain. I truly believe that our bodies hold these stories, not to be hidden, but to be released, shared, and honored. It is an honor to work on each client, as I know that vulnerability is something to protect and respect with loving care.
Thank you for choosing me to help you along your journey to health and wholeness.
