I was born in Denver, Colorado and lived there until 1990. Prior to graduating Metropolitan State University ~ Denver with a BS in Marketing, I spent a year and a half traveling around the world. After graduation, I spent a year in Japan teaching English Conversation. Upon my return to America, I moved to Hilton Head Island, South Carolina, where I started a family. I have two beautiful daughters, Dakota and Emily Rose. They are the light of my life and give me reason to live. Being a stay-at-home mom at the time, I chose to attend classes for massage therapy at DoveStar Holistic Therapies Institute, and became licensed in January 2001. Once licensed, I opened my own practice in a yoga studio in Beaufort, SC.
I moved to the heart of downtown Sarasota, Florida in 2005. One of the best decisions of my life. I love it here.
Massage isn’t something I grew up thinking about spending my life doing. Yet, I enjoy being in this field. I am now expanding my practice to include a variety of bodywork workshops and retreats. I feel the desire to put knowledge and healing power into the hands of the individual. My Balance & Mobility workshops speak for themself. The Art of Self Massage workshops are a beautiful alternative to a yoga class. The Couples Massage Workshops and Retreats are an opportunity for couples to deepen their level of trust and intimacy, while adding a “tool” of romance to their toolbox. The couples workshop is my greatest passion, as I love to bring love to this world. If you LOVE your Loved One, and wish to learn how to show them this love through touch, then this workshop and/or retreat is for you.
My Mission is to travel the world with my Love, to see my children, friends and family, facilitating retreats for couples, so they may Love, Connect & Grow through touch.
