I am also Reiki Level 2 certified.I have over 4 years of experience in various spas. 

Personal History/ Background:
Massage, bodywork, and artwork has always come easily to me. My mom is also a bodyworker and works with similar modalities. Both parents were artists and intuitive's. As a creative type, I take after both of them. I have always felt deeply connected to nature and have turned to elements in nature to guide me and ground me through the hardest trials in life. 
I truly believe we are a part of nature and can find our way back to harmony when we release and soften all the ways we are armoring against it.  What lead me to the path of healing is having experienced some deep trauma as a child loosing my Dad in my youth at a pivotal age. This loss is created my own pathway of healing and opened doorways to what want to offer others. I am deeply fascinated by trauma and how the body holds on to traumatic events. I plan to specialize in trauma based bodywork, including continued education in Craniosacral Therapy and Somatic Experiencing. I am currently enrolled and continuing my education through the Upledger Institute and soon through the Somatic Experiencing Institute as well.
