WHO am I?

You want to know how you know you are living in alignment and fulfilling part of your souls purpose? When you are in action and you aspire to be nowhere else but in that exact moment, doing exactly what you are doing. The present moment doesn’t feel like a means to an end nor is it used as an escape. You are not counting down the hours or minutes until it’s over. You are deeply engrained in the here and the now.

This is the way life was meant to be lived and I refuse to accept anything less. I have been fortunate enough to find a few activities where I feel this exact alignment: playing soccer, running, weightlifting, writing. My mind silences and every ounce of resistance to the present moment melts away.

The universe has granted me with another opportunity to experience that sweet alignment, passion, purpose and fulfillment through Massage Therapy. Every client I am privileged enough to work on is a beautiful reminder of how grateful I am to be in a line of work that provides me with all of the things I have been searching for in a career ever since the first thought entered my mind around the age of 16 “I need a job to make money and survive in this world.”

What started as solely a career shift (and to be completely honest, a bit of a shot in the dark), quickly turned into a full blown obsession. Not only did I find out I was pretty good at it and continually improving, but it has also allowed me the opportunity to help people heal their physical, which is deeply interconnected to the emotional body. Both of which a vast majority of people are in desperate need of healing in order to feel whole, happy, and function optimally.

The feeling of alignment on this path I am carving is so strong that I can only hope that everyone has the chance to experience it in their lifetime.
Will I be practicing massage for the rest of my life? I’m not sure. But it is without a doubt what I am being called to do at this juncture in my life.

I am both a licensed massage therapist and certified personal trainer. While my education has given me the credentials to legally practice massage and train clients, it is my lifelong athletic and sports career that has laid the foundation for developing a deep understanding of the human body. As a previous Division 1 athlete and years of undergoing a high level intense training regimen, I have experienced countless injuries and ailments, which has allowed me to treat clients with greater empathy and discernment from direct personal experience.

I am a big believer in learning from the pain we experience. I know each time I endure a physical ailment or nagging injury it serves as an impeccable opportunity for me to fine tune my skills as a therapist. My bodily pain inadvertently allows me to learn the cause and figure out the best pursuit of treating clients. Collectively, a large part of my passion for massage therapy is being able improve people’s quality of life by reducing their pain and restoring balance to their physical and mental body. I can best utilize my knowledge, experience, and skills through Swedish techniques, deep tissue, myofascial release, sports and pre-natal massage.
