OUR TEAM

I have been a licensed professional massage therapist since 2018 and hold licenses in North Carolina and Colorado.  I discovered great pain relief personally on many levels with Bowen therapy and massage.  Daily, I am deeply moved by how our body can heal injury, trauma, and stress once it has a trusted place to do so. I feel honored to participate in your commitment to your own self-care.

​

I love the way the body softens, the breath deepens, and the nervous system calms and regulates with bodywork. It is from this place that I feel true self healing takes place. Bowen can be done with loose fitting clothing, without oil and uses rolling motions with the fingers across muscles, tendons and ligaments. Each move sends a signal to the body to start balancing healing itself stimulating energy flow. There are small breaks between movements to give the brain and body time to understand the signals sent to them.

​

I incorporate my intuition and deeply listen to integrate and customize each session. You can experience what may be therapeutically needed today. I have experience with Swedish massage, positional release, Bowen Therapy, energy work, reiki, Esalen style massage, cranial sacral therapy, cupping, hot stones, and breathwork. 

​

I like to help resolve issues with low back and sacral, neck, shoulders, and can assist with TMJ, incontinence, headaches, and sessions for pre and post surgery to help the body ease into recovery.

I launched my massage therapy career in Charlotte after graduating from the North Carolina School of Advanced Bodywork in 2018. My training provided a strong foundation in anatomy and kinesiology, along with advanced hands-on techniques in clinical massage and structural bodywork.

I'm a dedicated listener, committed to understanding each client's unique needs. My expertise lies in providing solutions for chronic pain, tension, fascial restrictions, trauma-related injuries, whiplash, and TMJ dysfunction.

I view massage as a crucial part of rehabilitation and reintegration of the body. Using techniques like Neuromuscular Therapy, Myofascial Release, Swedish massage, and Thai stretching, I create sessions tailored to achieve relaxation, pain relief, and improved range of motion.

Whether you need targeted treatment or a full-body experience, I'm ready to join you on your journey to healing and well-being.

I discovered massage therapy after decades of working a full-time desk job left me with chronic neck and shoulder pain. I found massage to be an intuitive channel of

communication that allowed me to understand my own body on a deeper level.

As a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, I love that I get to continue this conversation

with my own clients. Through massage, I am able to nurture, hold, uplift, ground, and create

space for my clients to become curious about their own bodies, patterns of pain, and to discover

a path to healing.

My background in Ayurvedic bodywork and Neuromuscular Therapy (NMT) lend to my

integrative style of massage. I also enjoy incorporating modalities like stretching, cupping and hot stones into my practice. I love to work with clients from all walks of life who are looking to

manage chronic or acute pain, to relax deeply, and/or to improve their overall wellness through

therapeutic touch.

I've been practicing massage therapy full-time since October 2021. I am dedicated to providing personalized care and effective pain relief. I specialize in addressing a variety of conditions, including rib issues, shoulder pain, lumbar/hip pain, and neck pain that contributes to headaches.

My focus is on understanding each client's unique needs and tailoring my approach to achieve lasting results. I use an intuitive, muscle-guided approach to choose the best techniques for each session

​

I like to incorporate Swedish massage as an introduction. Then incorporate techniques from Trigger Point Release Therapy, Myofascial Release, Static Manual Release, as well as Neuromuscular Massage Therapy.

My goal is to help you find relief from pain and achieve lasting results.

From childhood I've had a strong passion toward health, wellness and caring for the physical body. Since then I have also discovered the necessity of caring for the mind and spirit.  In merging these ideas, I found massage and Reiki and have been licensed and certified in both since 2016.

I enjoy working on all body types, specifically those looking to unwind, reconnect, and feel better within their mind, body and spirit. ​I combine my knowledge and intuition to create a custom treatment for each individual client. 

I have practiced massage consistently since 2010. Creating calm and wellbeing for my massage clients is a priority for me.

​

I love the hands-on approach. Listening to the clients' needs for me is a way of listening to their  body. I use an integrative massage style of various modalities.  I seek to serve the client, help the client be more comfortable in their bodies and have more ease of movement in their lives.

A decade of experience in healthcare has instilled in me a deep appreciation for the power of touch in healing and well-being. My journey as a massage therapist began at The Center for Massage and Natural Health in Asheville, NC. 

​

With nurturing yet firm hands, I intuitively guide each session, focusing on areas that need attention and providing deep relaxation. My approach seamlessly blends medium to firm pressure, with the ability to adjust to deeper pressure as needed.

​

I particularly enjoy working on the head, neck, shoulders, and feet, areas often burdened by stress and tension. Through skilled touch and a calming presence, I strive to create a sanctuary where clients can unwind, release anxieties, and experience a renewed sense of peace and well-being.

Licensed since 2022, I specialize in therapeutic massage with slow, intentional movements and medium-firm pressure. My focus is on creating a calm atmosphere for deep relaxation and restoration. I provide holistic full-body massages, intuitively addressing areas of tension for a personalized experience that leaves you feeling fully restored.

​

I particularly enjoy collaborating with clients to address and resolve issues like low back pain and hip discomfort.

​

I find that the soothing heat of hot towels and stones complements my massage techniques beautifully, allowing for a deeper sense of relaxation and relief. If you enjoy the warmth of heat incorporated into your massage sessions, be sure to book with me. 

I grew up in Garner, NC and attended massage school at Gwinette College in Raleigh, NC from 2021-2022.

​​

A career in massage really captured my interest after receiving chiropractic care and massage therapy for a repetitive use back injury that I experienced in 2020.

​

Massage was the modality that really stood out to me, my pain was relieved, and my injury resolved. 

​

My approach combines the relaxing flow of Esalen style massage strokes with targeted techniques for pain relief and muscle recovery.

One of my greatest joys is assisting my clients in deepening the relationship with their body.  Your body is your greatest tool for navigating a healthy, joyful and vibrant life.  The deeper relationship and awareness you have of your body, the greater potential for a rich and fulfilling human experience. 

I have been a professional massage therapist since 2008 and have been licensed in NC, SC and CO.  

My favorite clients to work with are those who have specific, acute or chronic pain and are looking for focus work on these areas to bring sustainable relief over time.

I also enjoy working with clients who appreciate an intuitive massage approach, where I allow the wisdom of your body to direct the massage.

​

In 2023, I expanded my offerings at The Care Collective to include abdominal massage. Since then, I've been assisting clients on their abdominal health journeys, helping them find relief from menstrual cramps, digestive issues, low back discomfort, pain associated with endometriosis, and addressing fertility concerns.

​

I also offer intuitive sessions for those seeking insight into a particular issue or pain that hasn't been easily resolved. In these sessions, I incorporate my experience with energy work and Reiki training into the massage, creating a unique and holistic approach to healing.

My journey into massage therapy began at Caldwell Community College, where I graduated in January 2021. Drawn to this profession by a deep appreciation for its positive impact on overall health and pain management, I am dedicated to providing high-quality treatments that foster both relaxation and healing.

I believe in tailoring each session to your unique needs, listening attentively to your concerns and proactively identifying areas that may benefit from focused attention.

While I offer full-body massage, my expertise lies in trigger point therapy and targeted pain relief for the shoulders, calves, and neck. I also incorporate cupping to enhance muscular release without the discomfort sometimes associated with deep tissue work.

​

Additionally, I completed my MLD training in early 2022 and am pleased to offer Manual Lymph Drainage to clients seeking relief from swelling and support in their post-surgery recovery.

​

I'm committed to creating a safe and comfortable space for you to relax, rejuvenate, and experience the transformative power of massage therapy.

I've been a dedicated massage therapist since 2006. I'm proficient in Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage and Cupping. I am continually expanding my skills, most recently studying IASTM (Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization).

​

My commitment to service and dedication to helping others are at the heart of my massage therapy practice.

I'm also a proud veteran, having served over 7 years, including a tour in Iraq during Operation Iraqi Freedom II.

Inspired by massage's ability to alleviate anxiety, depression, and chronic pain, I embarked on my journey at the Asheville School of Yoga and Massage in 2018, becoming a licensed therapist in 2019.

​

Over the past four years, I have honed my skills in relieving injuries and chronic pain, discovering the restorative and pain-relieving modality of Thai Mat Massage. I now offer Thai Mat Massage in 60, 90, and 120-minute sessions.

​

Additionally, I offer deep tissue table massage, incorporating hot stones, cupping, and Thai-inspired joint mobility movements and my very own stretching techniques that my client's love!

I have had the pleasure of working as a massage therapist in the mountains of Boone, NC since 2010.  I enjoy the beauty of this area and the people who chose to live and visit here.  

I love working with all kinds of clients, who are looking for healing on many different levels.  My massage techniques incorporate my love for yoga, deep tissue massage, and my appreciation for the body's capacity to heal. 

I love working with low back pain, shoulder pain, headache and migraine sufferers, jaw pain and neck pain.  I also love working with pre and post natal clients.
