My Background
Since 2002, I have enjoyed customizing massage sessions to fit my clients’ individual needs. I utilize my extensive background in multiple modalities of massage and body movement to help people de-stress, rejuvenate, and resolve acute, sub-acute, and chronic soft-tissue injuries, including effective pre- and post-surgery treatments. Learn more about the modalities I use here.
Prior to massage school, I trained at an elite level in athletics, Pilates, and dance.Ā I continue my development in these areas today.Ā In 2002, I decided to further my pursuit of body excellence by completing massage school at Chicago School of Massage Therapy.Ā
Shortly after graduation, I began private practice and became the lead massage therapy instructor at my alma mater, The Chicago School of Massage Therapy Cortiva Institute. There, I redesigned the massage program with senior staff.Ā I furthered my own private practice by working under renowned physical therapist Linda Tremain and at Good Shepherd Hospitalās Health and Fitness division. Ā Ā During this time, I learned countless skills and techniques in the areas of rehabilitation and therapeutic massage.
In 2006, I moved to New Orleans. I worked as the lead massage therapist at Belladonna Day Spa and soon after landed in my niche at Lander’s physical therapy.Ā In 2008, I launched my private practice and joined the staff at Crane Rehab Center, a physical therapy group with a focus on multiple disciplinary healing.Ā I also broadened my scope of education with training in Pilates and TRX.
