✨ Self-Love Through the Senses ✨

I’m hosting a small, intimate gathering in the treatment space for a gentle evening of rest, sound, breath, and scent.

This Friday at 6pm

This experience weaves together:
🌿 Breathwork
🌿 A grounding stretch
🌿 Gong bath
🌿 Guided meditation
🌿 Essential oils to support emotional awareness and self-connection

We’ll be working with doTERRA oils—Breathe, Frankincense, and Lavender—to explore how scent can gently guide our emotional state and invite more self-love into the body.

This isn’t about fixing or doing—
it’s about slowing down, softening, and receiving.

🕯 Small group (5–6 people)
🏡 Hosted in treatment space
💛 Tip jar

If you’re craving a nervous-system reset and a moment to reconnect with yourself, this space is for you.

DM me to save a spot ✨ Doors will only be opened to those that reserved as space is limited.

Looking for something to do this Valentines Day?🩷
Rest, Connect, Restore — For Two
A Couples AromaTouch Experience☺️
This 75-minute private session is designed to help couples slow down, reconnect, and learn a gentle way to support one another’s well-being through intentional touch and essential oils.
During your session, I will guide both partners through doTERRA’s AromaTouch Technique — a specific, gentle touch sequence that combines carefully selected essential oils with light, intentional application along the back and feet. Each partner will take turns applying the oils to their loved one, creating space for balance, relaxation, and shared presence.
You’ll learn:
• How to safely apply each oil in the AromaTouch sequence
• The intention behind each step of the gentle touch technique
• How this structured application supports relaxation and nervous system balance
• A simple practice you can continue using together at home
No massage experience is required. This is an educational and experiential session, not a massage treatment, and is focused on connection, calming the body, and learning a supportive at-home ritual.
Sessions are offered in my studio space and are by appointment only.
Availability is limited, so advance booking is recommended.
Investment: $100 per couple (75 minutes)

✨ Essential Oils & Massage: Supporting the Nervous System ✨
Stress lives in the body — and so does our capacity to soften, regulate, and return to balance.
Join me for a LIVE conversation on how I integrate essential oils with massage to support relaxation, emotional well-being, and nervous system regulation.
We’ll talk about:
🌿 How aroma affects the brain and emotions
🌿 How essential oils can “set the stage” for a massage
🌿 My go-to oils for relaxation, tension, and stress support
🌿 How you can use oils safely at home or in your practice
This is for massage therapists and anyone curious about using essential oils intentionally — without overwhelm.

Wow — 10 years already!
When I was in school, we were told that the average career span of a massage therapist is only 5–10 years. I remember thinking how devastating that would be — what would I do after?
Well, here I am a decade later, and I feel better than ever. Over these 10 years I’ve invested in my education, cared for my own well-being, and expanded the ways I can support others far beyond deep tissue massage.
Of course there are challenging days, and yes, I do take time off when needed. But choosing this path has been one of the best decisions of my life. My mission is to help as many people as possible feel comfortable in their bodies.
I’m especially grateful to my amazing clients who remembered my anniversary today — your care and support mean the world to me. You are the reason I get to do what I love, and your trust motivates me to keep growing.
Over the years, my practice has evolved from traditional massage into a space where multiple modalities come together to help release, restore, and rebalance. And it will keep changing as I continue learning new techniques and approaches that go far beyond massage alone.
I’m proud of the therapist I’ve become and excited to keep learning, growing, and discovering that “missing piece” that will help each of you on your journey. Thank you for being part of this journey with me. 💛

“Sometimes, finding the cause can feel a little uncomfortable. It takes time, patience, and a willingness to deal with possible discomfort along the way. But if you’re ready and willing to trust the process, beautiful things can happen.”

Almost all of healthcare is based on chasing symptoms — but symptoms are only the tip of the iceberg. They’re just the effects, not the real problem. The tru...
