About Your Therapist
My body, mind, and spirit were in dis-ease, no harmony, and I was literally sick. This experience of pure connectedness in that room was my light-bulb moment. Between infusions and hospitalizations, I was feeling poked and prodded. Yoga, AKA “self-massage” was an awakening to being “touched”, and that a person can be touched by more than physical matter.
I am a grateful G.R.I.T. (Girl Raised In The South). I was born and raised in Huntsville, Alabama… treasure hunting down creeks and riding the Space Shot at NASA. In 2014 I completed a bachelor’s degree of Integrated Marketing Communications in Oxford, MS from the University of Mississippi. I Live, Laugh, Loved in Austin, Texas from 2015-2020. In 2021 I had the opportunity to further my relationships with extended family in Loveland, Colorado. Today I am attending Kent State University as I pursue a Master’s Degree in Public Health and am passionate about my work and the community in Fort Collins, Colorado!
I am enthralled that this career begs a lifetime of learning, studying the environmental impact on human behavior, and engaging in primal sensations. In my spare time I love to yoga, kickbox, read, hike, dance to live music, and spend time with friends and family. I love to travel and volunteer to help others, often at the same time! I pursue continuing education several times a year, having completed workshops in Trigger Point Therapy, Pregnancy Massage, Sports Massage, Chair Massage, Zero Balancing, and Shiatsu, and more. I am a certified practitioner in Deep Massage, The Lauterstein Method, Orthopedic Massage, Oncology Massage, and Lymphatic Drainage Therapy (Chikly and Vodder Techniques).
I am a Provider for Hope Lives and Volunteer/Participant in Live by Living; both are Northern Colorado Cancer Support Communities.
“Bodinuity occurs when a person enters a state of living where physical body and energetic body synchronize into unity.”
Let’s break it down…
Nature's Symphony
ButtonYour body
The vessel you walk, talk, and drive in. It grows hair and sheds skin. It stubs toes and gives hugs. Your body is constantly in motion, working 24/7 for 365. We are comprised of around 37 trillion cells that ideally all work together in harmony to make the walking, talking, and driving possible. The body is formed upon layers, also tubes. Imagine the rings of a tree; just like the pines and the oaks, we are built from the inside out, and affected by the external environment; a process that doesn’t stop until our very last day. Energy is pulsing through matter. Let’s take a closer look. The skeleton inside you is “saran wrapped” with fascia, a spiderweb-like connective tissue. It is the strongest substance in the body which is why it has the task of holding together and interlacing every single structure inside your body. From bone-level the fascia forms to surround the muscle fibers, the groups of muscles, and the tendons and ligaments that allow you for one, to stand upright. Fascia develops around paths for nerves, veins, and arteries to run from our head to our toes, to give life. The fascia holds your organs together, and connects your fatty cell layer to your skin. Fascia and fluids get sticky and bound stiff by stress, trauma, pathogens, and illness. Bodies are Intelligent Unified Layers in Relation to Life though Energy.
Your Intuition
The ability to understand something immediately without the need for conscious reasoning. This is your “gut feeling.” As a society, more and more of us are asking “how to live a healthy life?” With the internet at our fingertips, we seek the next post that claims “xyz” will solve your “xyz”. Instead of looking outwards for solutions, we could provide the time and space for our intuition to surface. Bodies are able to Self-Heal. Bodies need Rest, Water, Nutrients, Movement. Souls need those pillars plus Relationships, Creative and Intellectual Pursuits. To look inside and really notice how our body is functioning, and listen to it’s subtle clues for what it wants, you will gain the insight that only you could know. It could present itself though swelling, an itch, pain, a racing heart, or mind which we can’t slow down. What are you seeking? Our intuition has our best interests at heart because it originates in our deepest consciousness. Intuition can be experientially acquired yet also is unlearned behavior; what feels natural, right, a gut feeling. You overreached for the stapler at your desk and you flashback momentarily to a fall you took in football 20 years ago. Hardly a coincidence. Giving ourselves the space, place, and time to access the gap between the conscious and subconscious parts of our mind is the path to intuition. For centuries people have been healed through what is already inside them, it just needs to be accessed by awareness. I aim to address your awareness through massage.

ButtonYour Unity
Everything has the feeling of contentment. Sometimes we see that something is “off”, and other times we feel it. To see it is due to our ability to reason, to feel it is due to shifts in energy. Intangible but palpable. There are energy fields that surround and encompass our being, as well as connect us to the energy fields of every living and non-living thing around us. Inside your body, your breath, circulation, and digestion all work on their own time tables, yet together they make up a complete sensible order. Next to your physical self, the other part of your bodies order is less tangible, but no less essential to keeping your body running smoothly. Our inner self constitutes the emotional, mental, and intuitional energy fields. Imagine these as ever flowing thin streams of water. Constantly undulating rhythmically around the body, around the organs, through your extremities. However, upon sites of injury or disease, these balanced streams turn to ruffled or spikey textures, or even halt the flow of the stream of energy. Through conscious work with body and mind, we attempt to realign your flow; to once again create unity in your body. That safe space where everything is possible. I aim to provide flow through massage.
