Philosophy: The body is psychologically programmed to be nurtured when it comes in contact with the world. My philosophy is to reconnect with that.

Mind/Body Balance: I feel that taking care of the body coincides with restoring the mind, therefore I partake in yoga, marital arts, extracurricular sports, weekly exercises and healthy eating. When focusing on the mind itself, I spend my time reading anything that educates me on the human body; including oriental medicine, acupuncture, martial arts, anatomy, psychology and nutrition. I also enjoy daily meditation and prayer to exercise the soul.

Favorite Treatment: The treatment that truly captures my passion the most is Prenatal. I was raised by a single mother and was surrounded by such strong women, which instilled into me the value of a woman especially through pregnancy. Mothers are overworked and under stress through the way the body changes through their pregnancy. I feel it is my duty yet privilege to care for a mother knowing that their focus and priority is not for themselves.

Philosophy: I believe that people can truly benefit from massage therapy. Being able to understand and get to know my clients and their needs is extremely important to me. That way I can find the best way in which to cater to what their body’s and minds need on an individual basis.

Mind/Body Balance: Seeing results from the work we do as massage therapists is so rewarding because not only does is help aid the body, but with that comes healing of the mind. You know that unexplainable feeling of zen you have when leaving the massage room? That isn’t just because of your relaxed body — it is also due to the release of endorphins in your mind and the recycling of uplifting energy in your spirit. It’s a beautiful thing and I feel so blessed to be able to partake in helping people shed that metaphorical heavy weight they’ve been lugging around.

Favorite Treatment: My absolute favorite technique is the cupping therapy. This technique is specifically beneficial to promoting healthy blood flow, loosening muscles without the pressure that comes with deep tissue massage, it sedates the nervous system and so much more! If you’re not sure about it or have any questions about the therapy I would love to talk about it or even do a small demo to test and see if you like it!
