My love and understanding for the healing power of massage started at a young age. My mother had chronic pain for a very long time and I knew how much massage and caring touch helped her cope. I decided to go to school for massage therapy in in the fall of 2007 and attended a 12 month program at Parkland College in Champaign Illinois. There I was able to learn and understand more about why and how massage helps people not just feel well but also stay well. I live in Champaign Illinois with my beautifll family and I want to give back to my community through the benefits of massage and wellness.
