I have enjoyed being in the medical field for almost a decade now from working as a Cna to then becoming a Medication aide. I have held many positions which have allowed me to help all kinds of patients at all stages of life. Being a care giver is what truly makes me happy. Outside of work, I enjoy seasonal activities such as gardening in the summer and riding out to working on the house, sewing, and crochet projects in the winter. Myfiancé and I spend A LOT of time outside soaking in the sun and keeping busy. Our goal in life is to be more sustainable and to grow a lot of what we eat, which helps because I love to cook! We enjoy homesteading with our first ever flock of chickens and wish to have a small farm of our own someday.

I went to the Soma Institute 5 years ago to become a Clinical Massage Therapist. After I graduated, in 2018, I moved out to California. I have always loved traveling, but being away from family and friends was taking a toll on me. With that being said, I moved back to Illinois and started looking for the next step in my career. Here is where I realized what kind of therapist I wanted to be. I enjoy helping people and relieving them from chronic or acute pain. My skills stretch from lymphatic drainage to trigger point therapy and a little bit of holistic healing in between. Other than massage my interests include my dog, Tilly. She is an 18 month old blacklab that keeps me on my toes. I also relish in most outdoor activities such as: hiking, kayaking, camping, cycling, and white water rafting. Another interest of mine is sports, I played volleyball, basketball, and softball for 7 years. As high school came to a head so did my 'career' in extracurriculars. I try to play as often as I can and enjoy each sport for the different skill sets and intensities.

I love and care about my family to no end and spending as much time with them as possible. I like basketball and football. I also enjoy watching and playing them. I love to go to the gym almost everyday. I like all kinds of food such as pizza, chicken, tacos, hamburgers, and ribs. I enjoy watching tv and movies. I love watching the food network and ESPN the sports channel. I attended Cortiva institute for massage and graduated in 2016 and have been massaging ever since.
