Hello & Welcome

I have been involved in the healing arts for over 20 years. I attended massage school in Ann Arbor, MI and finished my education at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, IN. I moved to Las Vegas in 2007 where I built a thriving practice and traveled the world learning new modalities to better help my clients. Today I am thrilled to be back home in Michigan!

​

But a bit more about lymphatics specifically...​

As I continue to grow as a bodyworker and time on this earth I've come to recognize the importance of our lymph system. This has lead me to learn Manual Lymphatic Drainage. With the goal to help age as healthy as possible. I am a certified Vodder School International lymphatic therapist, and I also hold certificates from ACOLS. This the summer I will be attending another Vodder course to learn how to support folks with lymphedema.  

​

I don't believe that healing occurs in on specific area, as the experience of the body isn't to be approached as parts and pieces. Knowing that our lymphatic system touches the entire body, this is why I believe manual lymphatic drainage is a necessary part of our wellness maintenance. 

 

I believe that healing is a mind-body-spirit balance. I encourage my clients to be active participants in their session. I often tell my clients, "You are the expert of you. I will show up with all of my tools, but you live in your body so I want to hear your thoughts." The more a client can share about how they are feeling, the more information I have to provide the best service. We're a team. 

 

And on a personal note: While my work is hands-on, I am in awe of the body. How it heals, protects and supports us. And the not so great side of things, how stress, environmental and emotional challenges impact us. I approach my work knowing we live in a world where we are often overwhelmed- the world is constantly tugging on our hand and pulling us in every direction. It can be easy to detach from ourselves, I encourage everyone to learn how to tune into your body-mind-spirit and take the steps outside of the office to give yourself what you need.

 

Learning how to tune into our needs, and utilize the tools is empowering.
