Experience and Credentials.

 

In 2009 I began my schooling to become a Massage Therapist at Centura College in Virginia Beach, Va. I graduated in 2010 with 950 hours of training and an associates degree in applied sciences pertaining to massage therapy and went on to obtained my Virginia state massage therapy license.

I felt a calling to journey west, so I went on to acquire a massage therapy license in Kentucky, Colorado, Hawaii and now Alaska. Each place I’ve lived and worked has introduced me to new therapists, massage techniques and practices as well as clients of all types of backgrounds and needs.

In 2016 I traveled and worked abroad in New Zealand, and then went on to take a two week, 60 hour Thai massage course in Chiang Mai, Thailand at The Sunshine Massage School.

After this I made home in Hawaii on the beautiful island of Maui. There I dedicated over 6 months and 400 hours to studying Lomi Lomi, the ancient and sacred Hawaiian massage and bodywork modality, at Ho’omana Spa training center. This practice highly aligns with my approach of providing clients with as deep and effective massage while inflicting the least amount of pain possible.

As well as Lomi Lomi massage, while on Maui I received four levels of training over a 6 month period from Ruth Kramer in an energetic healing practice referred to as Reiki. This expanded my knowledge beyond the physical body as I learned to work with and unblock the energy points present to all people.

Today I call Girdwood, Alaska home and offer customized services and treatment plans through my private practice to all locals and visitors alike.
