I received my first professional massage in 1988, while working in the field of recreation therapy.  I was hooked.  I began receiving massages whenever I could, which at that time was three or four times a year.  Several years later, I began receiving massage a few times a month.  Eventually, I was fortunate to start receiving weekly massages.  This continued for nearly 3 years.

While the massages I was receiving helped keep me feeling physically healthy, I began to feel burned out from job.  I loved working in non-profit organizations serving people with disabilities,  I had been doing so for over 15 years, but it was time for a change.  I began to investigate other avenues.  I wanted to continue in a field of service. One of the thoughts I had concerned massage therapy. Since I got so much out of receiving, I thought I might like giving, as well.  Being a massage therapist would allow me to continue working with people facing physical challenges.  I began to explore massage schools in Mendocino County, California, where I was living at the time.

Soon after I began looking at schools, the massage therapist I went to posted a flier for a 120 hour introductory course in massage therapy that she was teaching.  I took the course, studying Swedish Massage, as well as some reflexology and energy work.  Upon completion, I immediately began practicing part time, while still working at my other job.  During this time, I discovered that massage was my new path.  I also realized that I needed a lot more education if I were to truly serve the needs of women through massage. I began looking into more schooling.

Around this time, I  decided to leave California.  While I was feeling the pull of the east coast, where my family lived, I was also feeling pulled back to Arizona, where I had once lived briefly.  I movde to a small town outside of Flagstaff Arizona, and began looking into schools that offered a mind-body focused program.  I wanted to develop my technical massage skills, my knowledge of the human body, and learn just how deeply our minds affect our physical well-being. I enrolled in a 600-hour program at The Sedona School of Massage, where I studied Swedish Massage, Myofascial Techniques, Shiatsu, Polarity, CranioSacral Therapy, and Structural Bodywork.  This education enabled me to become certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork.

After spending a year in Arizona, I got my fill of desert life, packed my belongings once again, and chose to settle in North Carolina.  I became a licensed massage therapist in the state of North Carolina in 2005.  I will continue to pursue educational opportunities that will allow me to better serve the women in the Raleigh area.
