MEET YOUR THERAPIST

THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING WHO IS TOUCHING YOU

"I believe it is vital to know more about the person you are trusting your life, body, and even at times, mind and heart with. Integrity and values are everything to me.

Dedicated to providing relief as your massage therapist I do not believe in causing pain in treatments, but in making an effort to bring relief with as little trauma to the client's body and nervous system as possible. I believe in co-laboring with my clients to find what will meet their needs. Pain is not a lifestyle, but massage therapy is!"

THE FAITHFUL WELLNESS-PRENEUR

In my work I practice biblical principles. I do not refuse care to anyone that is different from myself socially, politically, or religiously. A few years ago I rejected new ageism, witchcraft, and all affiliated practices including reiki, energy work, and chakra balancing. As a result, I vow that I do not and will not perform energy work, reiki, or any other esoteric practice within my life or in my business. Further, I do not lay hands or pray over anyone for any reason without consent.

WHAT I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP

I dream of being a Christian Life Coach and a Full Time Coach for Faith driven Wellness-preneurs like myself. I am available for lectures and speeches and share my story. Getting my Master's or PHD one day is a personal desire. I want to have all of the books in my head published and in my hands before I move on to the next crazy ideas of how I want to spend my time on earth. Although being a bonus mom and a "Titi" to many kiddos, I dream of having a child (or twins) of my own and a set of 3-4 siblings to adopt. I want a loud and full home full of love. That is my greatest dream, in Jesus' name.

SPECIAL INTERESTS

I was an actor and a dancer for many years. I was very involved in the Swing Dance community in Los Angeles, Bay Area, and Sacramento. Since moving on from that life and becoming a wife and a bonus mom, I found my interests have shifted to the homemaking arts, candle making, and worship team at my previous church. I am very passionate about writing and teaching. I have a very (un)healthy obsession with collecting antiques and vintage items for my home. I enjoy life coaching, supporting other women and entrepreneurs, hosting women's fellowship events. I am a first time author and am working on three others at this time.

FAMILY + HOME LIFE

I have been married to the love of my life, Dustin since 2015. We met as business owners working business to business. I met my bonus sons at 8 and 5 years old. They are now lively and amazing young men, who I adore greatly. I have a older family dog, Leo, and a black and white cat that we adopted named Batz. I am a "Titi" to many nieces and nephews that I love so very much.

Family is everything to me. Jesus is the "how". My family is my "why".
