My Background
My interest in taking care of the body started when I was in high school as I attended and interpreted doctors appointments for my Deaf mother.
Through her journey I often wondered what are ways to prevent and/or intersect musculoskeletal pain and the need for surgery? In college I played volleyball and started understanding the vast need for taking care of the physical body through stretching, strengthening and mindful movement to prevent and rehab injuries. In 2007, I graduated from Massage Therapy School in Oklahoma and quickly dove into continuing education workshops to widen my knowledge and skill set to start changing lives
As my journey continued I realized health is an ever changing, ever balancing practice. I realized if I am guiding people to heal, it is imperative to lead by example. That set me on my mind, body spiritual journey. If we want to heal physically, we need to look at the whole of what we are: physical body, mental body, emotional body and spiritual body if we want to have a happy, full life.
This lead me to learning how to take care of myself. I have found that biannual cleansing and habit evolution are great tools for health and well being. I have seen and felt the impact of my positive lifestyle changes and now I am now set on sharing the information I have learned with the Deaf Community. In addition to Massage, I also lead programs in Cleansing (detoxing) and Healthy Habits in American Sign Language.
My Approach
The body is amazingly intelligent. Working with the body requires a heightened awareness as well as an understanding of various types of approaches. Some bodies need a gentle touch to invite change whereas others might need a firmer approach. Through conversation with you and a body scan we can determine what would be the most beneficial approach for you that day. One day someone may need a different type of touch than they needed last week or last month. Together we can work together to create the change you need to be more comfortable within your body. As I begin to understand your body, I will share with you my findings and can suggest things for you to do at home to help you to feel good for as long as possible.
