EXPERIENCE: After acquiring my massage therapy license, I moved to Vail/Beaver Creek, CO and performed massage therapy for about seven months in the ski resorts. I then transitioned to work at the Arrabelle Hotel. A couple of years later, I moved to Denver where I worked at the Woodhouse Day Spa for 2 years. I also worked clinical work at Mile High Holistics working with Vetarns and working through complex trauma. Finally I moved back to the east coast and made Virginia Beach my home. I spent a couple of months at the Cavalier Hotel before transitioning to my personal practice which led me to Rooted Method
PROFESSIONAL MOTIVATION: It has been a passion of mine for a very long time to help others help themselves. I chose this career seeing that it allows me to aid in the hands on healing of another individual’s overall health and wellbeing. I am a healer at heart and strive to give the gift of massage that never stops giving.
MY IDEAL CLIENT: I work best with individuals looking to better themselves on a physical, mental and spiritual level. The mind body and soul go hand in hand. My ideal client would be a younger professional who is active motivated and looking to aid in their health and overall well being. My ideal session would be a 60/90 minute, full body, deep relaxation massage that includes hot stones, hot towels, essential oils, and deep/long relaxing strokes to calm the muscles and the mind.
WHAT MAKES YOUR SESSIONS UNIQUE: Clients often say it's the best massage they’ve ever had.
