Experience…
It was working at a local natural health food store 25 years ago, helping people find supplements, natural body care products, and nutritious whole foods, where I discovered I wanted to support people in their health and wellness. My plan was to practice massage while I put myself through Naturopathic school, not knowing quite yet just how much I would end up loving bodywork.
I completed a 700-hour certification program at the Colorado School of Healing Arts in 2002. After three years in practice, I returned to school (2005- 2006) for specialized training (an AOS) in Advanced Neuromuscular and Cranio-Sacral Therapy (and more). I’ve been studying and mastering my craft ever since.
For 17 years, I had the honor of serving many clients in the western suburbs of Denver, Colorado. In the summer of 2019, my husband and I had the opportunity to move our family across the state, where we both set up shop in the beautiful mountain town of Pagosa Springs.
In December 2022, I received my certification as a Holistic Nutrition Consultant at the American College of Health Care Sciences — one more accomplishment in the direction of my ultimate goals.
A little bit about me…
I’m a third-generation Coloradan, raised in the western suburbs of Denver. When I’m not at work or homeschooling my youngest 2 boys, I am likely walking with my dog Dexter, soaking in the hot springs, reading, writing, listening to a podcast, or stretching in my aerial silk hammock. I also enjoy cooking, gardening, dancing to live music, and hiking.I am just as passionate about bodywork as ever. It is important to me to take care of my own body so I can continue to provide high-quality bodywork for many years to come — and hopefully pass on what I’ve learned to the next generation of bodyworkers.
