Meet Your Instructor

"I've been a Licensed Massage Therapist since June 2015. After completing the initial 650-hour program at Pennsylvania Institute of Massage Therapy, I continued my education with more than 125 additional hours of medical massage training along with several ancillary therapies throughout more than a decade in the field of massage therapy.

Over the years, I have provided massage therapy in a wide variety of settings including independent massage practices, chiropractic offices, a day program for disabled adults, home visits, spas, wellness centers, salons, franchises, a casino, and retreat centers as both an employee and independent contractor. These experiences gave me a broad perspective on the many ways massage therapy can be practiced and integrated into different environments.

In 2018, I opened my own massage practice in Pennsylvania where I interviewed, trained, mentored, and managed the massage therapists who worked there. After relocating to Missouri in 2022 and establishing a private practice here, I continued overseeing the Pennsylvania location until selling the business in March 2024.

In addition to my clinical work, I now serve as an instructor through my Apprenticeship Training Program, where I pass along the knowledge, clinical reasoning, and professional skills needed to build a successful career in massage therapy. I have already trained one full class of apprentices and am currently teaching my second class of students.  Helping others develop the skills and confidence needed to thrive in this profession has become one of the most rewarding parts of my work."
