About Me
My path to massage therapy began with art. From drawing and crafting to photography, videography, graphic design, jewelry making, and sewing—my hands have always been the tools I use to create, connect, and care. That same creative energy now flows into my work as a massage therapist, where I help people find relief, healing, and renewed well-being—especially those living with chronic pain.
The seed of becoming a massage therapist was planted in 2010, during a season of life devoted to raising our two youngest children. Although the timing wasn’t right then, the dream quietly waited as I pursued other creative ventures. I launched a jewelry design business, then found a niche in sewing and built another business crafting custom tactical gear.
But long hours at an industrial sewing machine eventually took a toll. I began experiencing chronic hip, back, and elbow pain—and like many people, I turned to doctors, physical therapy, and (yes!) even Google and YouTube in search of answers. That personal journey with pain ultimately led me back to the vision I’d set aside: becoming a massage therapist.
Over the 11 years since that idea first sparked, I gained something invaluable—empathy, perspective, and a deep understanding of what it means to live with pain. I knew it was time. I completed massage school and received my license in March 2022, entering the field with both hands and heart ready to serve.
I have since expanded my practice to include the skills and tools that helped me personally in managing chronic pain—approaches that now allow me to offer even deeper, more comprehensive care to my clients. As both an artist and a therapist, I see my work as a meaningful convergence of creativity, skill, and compassion. It’s a true honor to provide personalized, therapeutic care—shaped by experience and driven by a genuine passion for helping others improve their health and quality of life.

Aloha & Mahalo,
