Specializes in Cupping
"From a young age, I always dreamed of being a business owner. My journey began with a passion for helping others, which first emerged during my time in dance fitness. It was here that I discovered the profound impact of movement on overall well being. My personal health challenges, particularly my battle with Lyme disease, prompted me to seek more holistic approaches to healing my body. Initially, I considered a career in the medical field after earning my associate’s degree in science, but I soon realized that my true calling lays in a more holistic perspective on health. I became dedicated to understanding the connection between the body and mind. This led me to train in integrative massage therapy, where I honed my skills and deepened my knowledge. I later expanded my expertise to include myofascial release, trigger point therapy, and cupping modalities, all aimed at providing targeted relief and promoting healing. Now, as a business owner, I am committed to helping others find balance and wellness through holistic practices that honor both the body and mind. I look forward to sharing this journey with you!"
