OUR TEAM

As a massage therapist, I am driven by a lifelong, intuitive ability to connect with the body's needs, a talent I first discovered giving bodywork to family.

I completed my formal education at CCC&TI in early 2025 and am dedicated to providing high-quality, therapeutic bodywork with a client-focused, intuitive approach.

​

I specialize in deep tissue techniques for the lower legs, back, and glutes, and find the greatest fulfillment in helping clients achieve their specific wellness goals and enhancing their overall well-being. I am committed to advancing my skills through the advanced training programs at The Care Collective to continually improve the specialized care I offer.

I am thrilled to transition into my role as an NC Licensed Massage Therapist after being a committed part of The Care Collective Wellness Team since April 2023. As a Boone native, I have a deep love for this area and its community.

I graduated from CCC&TI's esteemed Massage Therapy Program in October 2025 with the goal of helping clients find freedom from pain and deep relaxation of the body, mind, and spirit. My philosophy centers on helping people reconnect with their bodies, recognizing how sacred we all are.

I specialize in providing a deliberate pace, deep pressure, and intentional massage tailored precisely to your individual needs. Your well-being is always my top priority!

Beginning with the seeds planted during my education at the Finger Lakes School of Massage and throughout my 15+ years as a Licensed Massage Therapist, across 4 states and most work environments, I have developed a deep respect and gratitude for the power of our bodies to protect and heal themselves.

My massage magic is an intuitive blend of modalities and tools customized to focus on your goals for your massage session while grounding you back into your body and the present moment to nurture a sense of peace and safety that induces the deep relaxation required to allow your body to process stress, to rest, and to heal.

I have also learned that without this vital step, nourishment, healing, and pain relief can only occur at absolutely minimal levels no matter how much will-power or force is applied because the body’s miraculous powers of healing are perfectly balanced by its powers to protect itself and maintain its protective adaptations, which you experience as tension, muscular knots, and pain.

I particularly enjoy: working with clients during the childbearing year (prenatal and postnatal), offering Reiki energy work, helping clients manage migraines and tension headaches, and most of all using every tool and modality in my repertoire (including dedicated deep tissue services) to offer you the very best massage therapy has to offer.

I would love to see humanity embrace living from a place of rest and nourishment, and until then I am deeply committed to spreading this radical relaxation revolution through both my massage practice and personal embodiment.

I endeavor to always be grounded and grounding, nourished and nourishing, relaxed and relaxing, so if the expectations, obligations, and/or realities of life are causing any discomfort- or you wish to avoid it!- come see me and we can create a unique relaxation and rejuvenation routine that fulfills your need to settle back into your human BE-ing-ness, because we are not human DO-ings, after all.

I've been practicing massage therapy full-time since October 2021. I am dedicated to providing personalized care and effective pain relief. I specialize in addressing a variety of conditions, including rib issues, shoulder pain, lumbar/hip pain, and neck pain that contributes to headaches.

My focus is on understanding each client's unique needs and tailoring my approach to achieve lasting results. I use an intuitive, muscle-guided approach to choose the best techniques for each session

​

I like to incorporate Swedish massage as an introduction. Then incorporate techniques from Trigger Point Release Therapy, Myofascial Release, Static Manual Release, as well as Neuromuscular Massage Therapy.

My goal is to help you find relief from pain and achieve lasting results.

I have practiced massage consistently since 2010. Creating calm and wellbeing for my massage clients is a priority for me.

​

I love the hands-on approach. Listening to the clients' needs for me is a way of listening to their  body. I use an integrative massage style of various modalities.  I seek to serve the client, help the client be more comfortable in their bodies and have more ease of movement in their lives.

A decade of experience in healthcare has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of touch in healing and well-being. My journey as a massage therapist began at The Center for Massage and Natural Health in Asheville, NC. 

​

With nurturing yet firm hands, I intuitively guide each session, focusing on areas that need attention and providing deep relaxation. My approach seamlessly blends medium to firm pressure, with the ability to adjust to deeper pressure as needed.

​

I particularly enjoy working on the head, neck, shoulders, and feet, areas often burdened by stress and tension. Through skilled touch and a calming presence, I strive to create a sanctuary where clients can unwind, release anxieties, and experience a renewed sense of peace and well-being.

Licensed since 2022, I specialize in therapeutic massage with slow, intentional movements and medium-firm pressure. My focus is on creating a calm atmosphere for deep relaxation and restoration. I provide holistic full-body massages, intuitively addressing areas of tension for a personalized experience that leaves you feeling fully restored.

​

I particularly enjoy collaborating with clients to address and resolve issues like low back pain and hip discomfort.

​

I find that the soothing heat of hot towels and stones complements my massage techniques beautifully, allowing for a deeper sense of relaxation and relief. If you enjoy the warmth of heat incorporated into your massage sessions, be sure to book with me. 

I grew up in Garner, NC and attended massage school at Gwinette College in Raleigh, NC from 2021-2022.

​​

A career in massage really captured my interest after receiving chiropractic care and massage therapy for a repetitive use back injury that I experienced in 2020.

​

Massage was the modality that really stood out to me, my pain was relieved, and my injury resolved. 

​

My approach combines the relaxing flow of Esalen style massage strokes with targeted techniques for pain relief and muscle recovery.

I've been a dedicated massage therapist since 2006. I'm proficient in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage and Cupping. I am continually expanding my skills, most recently studying IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization).

​

My commitment to service and dedication to helping others are at the heart of my massage therapy practice.

I'm also a proud veteran, having served over 7 years, including a tour in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom II.

Inspired by massage's ability to alleviate anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, I embarked on my journey at the Asheville School of Yoga and Massage in 2018, becoming a licensed therapist in 2019.

​

Over the past five years, I have honed my skills in relieving injuries and chronic pain, discovering the restorative and pain-relieving modality of Thai Mat Massage. I now offer Thai Mat Massage in 60, 90, and 120-minute sessions.

​

Additionally, I offer deep tissue table massage, incorporating hot stones, cupping, and Thai-inspired joint mobility movements and my very own stretching techniques that my client's love!

I have had the pleasure of working as a massage therapist in the mountains of Boone, NC since 2010.  I enjoy the beauty of this area and the people who chose to live and visit here.  

I love working with all kinds of clients, who are looking for healing on many different levels.  My massage techniques incorporate my love for yoga, deep tissue massage, and my appreciation for the body's capacity to heal. 

I love working with low back pain, shoulder pain, headache and migraine sufferers, jaw pain and neck pain.  I also love working with pre and post natal clients.
