A Journey of Healing and Connection
My path to becoming a massage therapist wasn't a straight line; it was born from a deep desire to help others heal. Growing up in Southern California during challenging times, I discovered that genuine care and human connection have transformative power. That realization became the foundation of everything I do today.
​
In 2013, I relocated to Maine to support my family through a difficult period. During that time, I pursued my passion for healing by earning my massage therapy license and building foundational skills in Swedish massage, aromatherapy, hot stone, and deep tissue techniques. But what truly captivated me was the profound mind-body connection; compelling me to broaden my ability to facilitate healing through the power of touch, body/breath work, and authentic presence.
