My journey into the world of holistic healing is both personal and profound. It began with a simple step - enrolling in massage school - but transformed into a life-changing quest after a significant health challenge. Three years ago, just as I was nearing the completion of my massage training, I faced a daunting adversary: COVID-19. The virus not only tested my physical endurance but also my mental fortitude, as I spent six weeks in the hospital and seven months on oxygen therapy.
During those dark days, I experienced moments of deep reflection and realization. The doctors were uncertain if I would ever be free from oxygen dependency. But I was determined not to let this be my life’s story. I remember sitting on my couch, envious of people simply for their health and freedom, something I feared I might never regain. But with unwavering determination, I weaned myself off oxygen and gradually reclaimed my strength and vitality.
This journey wasn’t just about recovery; it was a path to discovering my true calling. I believe that my survival wasn’t a mere stroke of luck but a divine purpose to help others heal. I found solace and improved breathing in the warm waters of my pool, which led me to pursue warm water therapy. This therapy, coupled with my massage skills, has become a cornerstone of my practice, offering a unique and effective approach to healing.
The highlight of my personal healing journey was a trip to Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons. Climbing up to Inspiration Point was more than just a physical feat; it was a testament to my recovery and a symbol of overcoming adversity. It reminded me of how far I’ve come – from a place of helplessness to a beacon of hope and strength, not just for myself but for others as well.

Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, looking for a way to de-stress and relax, or wanting to improve your overall well-being, I am here to guide and support you.
