About Me

Manual Therapy is the giant umbrella I practice under. Within this realm, I apply knowledge gained from osteopathic manual medicine, massage, and soft tissue treatments. Drawing from the fields of fascial work, demoneuromodulation, IASTM (instrument assisted soft tissue massage), visceral treatment, craniosacral treatment, the applied use of kinesiology tape, electrotherapeutic modalities, and energy work, I set the intention to assist clients in their journeys towards feeling better.

When I made the decision to pursue this profession it was time for a career change. Having completed my undergrad degree in Physical Education including studying biomechanics, exercise physiology, and athletic injuries, manual osteopathy and massage were easy fits to harness the acquired knowledge earned previously. The second reason I pursued this career was for work life balance. I am now able to pursue the outdoor activities that keep me vibrant and grounded to my career and I am thankful I had the opportunity to make these choices.

My educational background consists of lifelong learning, reading, and inquiring to gain an understanding of “why?”. I have a bachelor’s degree in physical education from U of C. School of HardKnox parenting, business education and training, massage therapy, and a doctorate in manual osteopathy.
