I'm an LMT because... After slumping over a desk for many years, I didn't want the associated backaches and headaches for the rest of my life. After my dramatic career change from accounting to massage therapy, I've never looked back! All these years later, I still get excited about really helping people with their headaches and pain as well as helping my patients better understand their bodies!

I'm an LMT because... I attended a massage therapy open house and was awakened to the mind-body connection of chronic pain (as a sufferer myself). Becoming an LMT has allowed me to care for myself differently and to connect with the emotional components that are often forgotten AND very connected to chronic pain. I am excited to grow as an LMT and blessed with the opportunity to support people, wherever they are on their journey towards healing.

I'm an LMT because... there's so much stress, pain, and suffering in the world. The incredible human body already has everything it needs to relax, repair, and heal itself -- it does so every day.
