I have a strong devotion to providing the highest quality therapy. My approach focuses on balance and alignment of the body. Incorporating various methods of restorative therapies that aid in the body's natural healing process. My journey into health and wellness began in the early 90's. After spending some time in the pharmaceutical industry, I knew I wanted to shift my direction. Shortly after working in a group health clinic, I decided to enroll at The Suncoast School of Massage Therapy in Tampa, choosing acupressure as my specialty. I earned my license in 1995 to practice massage and body work. I have had the opportunity to learn from many different facets, including chiropractic, sports medicine, spa environment, corporate events, energy healing, and private practice.
