History
Only after obtaining bachelor's and master's degrees in education, and after teaching in the public school system for over a decade, did I find my way into practicing the art and science of massage therapy. In 2014 I moved to Manchester, NH and enrolled in The North Eastern Institute of Whole Health where I completed over 750 hours of training in both western and eastern massage therapy theories and modalities. After graduating, I studied with the founder of Structural Energetic Therapy, and received certificates in both Cranial/Structural Core Distorion Releases & Cranial/Structural Frontal/Occipital Decompressions. Additionally, I am also a Level III Reiki Master in the Usui Reiki Ryoho lineage, as well as a Certified Essence Healer.
