Creating space for healing, deep relaxation, and self acceptance for people wound up becoming a real passion for me. It turned out that massage was a really good way to do that. That was the path that finally led me to understand the sensation of peace, self love, and playfulness that I had been chasing for so long.īy the end of my time at LCC, I had become devoted to goodness, helping others, and sharing that wordless element of spirituality with those that I could. I enrolled at LCC and joined the massage program! During my studies and years of travels past, I learned a lot:Ībout myself, what was important to me, service and humility. Something about the structure of the education system made me feel unsettled so, with a leap of faith, I changed course. I made friends and art, both of them reflecting and nourishing my sense of what I found in the forest long ago. After trials ranging from Hawaii to Arizona, I was finally in college.īefore going to school for massage, I studied art education at LCC and MSU for one year each.

This was the first of a series of misadventures that continued to land me back home over the years, until I realized I needed to grow my skills and be able to provide for myself more easily. My pack trailing behind me, I had never been so afraid. I left on my bicycle one cold morning in November, determined to be a traveler and see the country. This dream never left me and, at 19, I tried to attain it. In fact, when I was young, I had no vision of wanting to do anything other than stay in the woods as long as I could, exploring hidden paths, and finding wisps of magic in the sun dappled paths. Practicing massage was never something that I imagined myself doing. One of the most frequent compliments that I am given by my clients is that my hands are magic. I wanted to harness it and channel it in a creative way. Element Massage was inspired by the wonders of nature and the healing powers that it contains. Since May 2015, I have been exclusively treating clients to not only deep relaxation, but therapeutic bodywork. I specialized in deep tissue work and quickly became one of the most requested therapists there until I decided to break out on my own. Īfter spending nearly two years at the spa, I got to work on many different bodies and experience an array of medical conditions and injuries. It turned out to be one of the best decisions of my life. Weighing my options, I felt that a job with less stress would be better.
Except, I was also advancing in the restaurant industry - where I would remain for 6 years as a general manager - until an opportunity for to work in a spa arose.
I excelled through the course and 12 months later, I was official after all of these years. Upon entering its doors, I knew that this is where I wanted to be. In 2009, I discovered Irene's Myomassology Institute. As I matured into adulthood, my curious nature and thirst for knowledge wanted more. It led to me joining in on massage circles with friends at lunch in high school. I told her, "I want to be a wizard!" She would also have me rub her sore back after a long day at an early age. When I was a kid, my mom asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up.
