While nine months pregnant, I suffered a serious hip injury and received a massage for pain relief.  I was astounded by the peace and comfort I gained from the session and I knew I wanted to be a Massage Therapist.  Eight months later, I enrolled in massage school.

My journey as a Massage Therapist has been one of great learning.  I am completely fascinated by anatomy and physiology and I believe that the human body keeps a log on the life it leads and stores that information in the muscle tissues.  I hope to not only ease the physical discomforts in the bodies of my clients, but also release the emotional stressors that lie deep within the muscles themselves. 

Outside of the spa, I find happiness in drinking coffee in the early morning with my husband, playing in the garden with our two young children, reading, sewing, and keeping life simple. 

Loved Quote: Massage is the study of anatomy in Braille.

Someone once told me the art of massage is like a sacred dance unique and individual to the creator.  This has inspired me over the past two years to be just that, unique and individual.  I have a true passion for helping people, I always say "it's not about how much money you make it's about making a difference in someone's life".

I am a certified massage practitioner as well as a certified Ashiatsu Oriental Bar therapist.  I entered into the massage field with the passion of health and wellness, as many others do.  Little did I know that I would soon combine my love for massage with my love for dance.  This is when I found AOBT.  Performing AOBT is like an incredible dance on the body with long push and pull movements that lengthen and release tight sore muscles.  I feel like I once again get to use my feet as I did for so many years as a dancer.

When I am not at Bella Soul Spa I enjoy long walks on the beach, reading novels, watching the sunset, dancing in the rain and of course, rainy Sundays cuddled up on the couch.

Always having an interest in the medical field, I came to a crossroads ten years ago when I could either continue my education from Health Assistant to Nursing School or pursue Health & Wellness as a Massage Therapist.

I chose to pursue massage after I received massage regularly to treat a neck spasm.  Like most I had believed massage to be a luxury "feel good" for those indivuals who could "indulge" themselves.  However, after experiencing myself the therapeutic benefits of regular massage I knew I had to be a part of educating others.  Not only had my neck spasm ceased, but I felt incredibly relaxed, uplifted, and inspired to create even more "wellness" in my life.

In the last eight years my practice has been in the spa industry promoting detoxification, through massage and spa treatments.  Such as Hot Stone Massage, Body Wraps and using therapeutic Essential Oils.  I seem to have developed a particular ability to treat headaches of all kinds.

I have the best job in the world, it's a career that directly impacts others health and well being and the opportunities to learn and improve are lifelong.

I welcome new challenges and am so excited to be a part of the Bella Soul Spa, where Swedish and Treatment Massages are of the highest quality in the most supportive, friendly and relaxing environment I have ever worked in.
