A living testament to the benefits of alternative medicine, I started my career in human bodywork following a severe back injury that left me wheelchair bound, a functional "quad" due to nerve damage, and a chronic pain patient. Conventional medicine was unable to achieve much improvement, and I turned to alternative medicine, including massage and Yoga, to return my good health.

Born into an animal loving family, I began training dogs almost as soon as I could walk. As an adult, I became a horse trainer specializing in rehabilitating animals that had been traumatized and soon found that trust was re-established more quickly and the animals learned more easily when massage was included in their training program. Long before chiropractic and acupuncture were available in the animal field, I was performing massage on the animals in my care.  After suffering a back injury, I attended Mueller College to retrain in massage therapy for humans. My sensitivity to changes in soft tissue and energy fields was honed by my work with animals; without the animals' ability to speak, I had to learn the language of their muscles.

Additional certifications:  Reiki Master Teacher; heated stone massage; Asian fire cupping; craniosacral/myofascial; seated massage.
