I come from a really big family and in that family I was raised by my grandmother.  She was relatively older so naturally she had aches and pains in her body and would always tell me to massage her and even though I was inexperienced. I was determined to do whatever I could to make her comfortable by perfecting the way I massaged her throughout the years. I enjoyed being able to take that pain away.  She inspired me to become a healer and my husband pushed me to finally go to school. 

I have always had a lifelong passion for health and wellbeing, anything that helps to balance the body, mind, and soul. I am in tune with energy and would say I am very intuitive with my work.
