I became interested in massage therapy throughout my 15 years of dance. I had developed problems with my ankles after doing ballet for so long, and during a routine I had fell and fractured one pretty bad. That’s when my instructor told me about massage and how it had helped her through a similar injury. So I gave it a try, and I couldn’t believe how fast I got back on my feet after just a few sessions! It was amazing to see how quickly the body could regenerate itself with just a healing touch. Since then, I was hooked! I graduated from the Pennsylvania School of Massage Therapy in 2012 and have been practicing ever since. My training includes Swedish, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Neuromuscular, and Cupping Therapy. I am also going to start my Ashiatsu training for 2017, and I am very excited begin incorporating that incredible technique into my massages! I am always seeking out alternative therapies and new non invasive ways to help treat certain issues. I see people struggle with chronic injuries everyday, and I want them to find relief without having to take pain medication or turn to surgery. That is why it is my passion to get to know each person I see, and create a specific treatment plan that will fit their individual needs. I truly can say that I love what I do, and I strive to help whoever I can. Are bodies are our sanctuary, and they need to be taken care of, and this is where I come in!
