Sacred Touch Massage and Intuitive Healing

My Story

My interest in massage therapy was sparked in 1991 after I sustained a work-related injury to my lower back. When prescription medications failed to alleviate the pain, much less heal its source, surgery was recommended which I refused. Instead, at a friend’s suggestion, I decided to seek help from a holistic chiropractor who recommended I receive massage as part of my treatment plan. I remember at the time being completely skeptical of any possible benefits, but I was in so much pain and experiencing such limited mobility at that point that I was desperate for relief and so I scheduled an appointment. And what a life changer that appointment turned out to be! I remember feeling so much relief, relaxation, and such a sense of peace upon getting off the table that I immediately told the therapist that I HAD to learn how to do what she did so I could in turn offer this incredible healing gift to others! I didn’t know how it was going to happen. I just knew that somehow, someday, I would become a massage therapist. And over the next several years, my life gradually and steadily led me in that direction. In 1993 I completed a psychic development course taught by well-known Psychic, Healer, Teacher, and Author Echo Bodine, which provided me with the knowledge and empowerment necessary to begin consciously developing my inherent psychic and healing abilities, of which I’d been aware since age 2. Echo was the first person I’d ever met who could accurately describe my experiences, give names to and explain my abilities, and help me understand and accept that they truly are Divine gifts. I had no idea while taking her classes that I would later be using so much of what I learned there in my current Massage and Healing practice. The intuitive integration of my psychic and healing gifts with my skilled massage techniques has become the signature of my work. I also offer these gifts in both my Intuitive Healing and Intuitive Guidance sessions. In 1996 I was finally ready to begin actively pursuing my desire to become a massage therapist. After many phone calls, lots of footwork, and seemingly endless closed doors, I was ready to let go of my dream when I was led to apply for and ultimately awarded a scholarship that would pay for most of my schooling. Upon the completion of my courses in March of 1998, I became certified as a massage practitioner through the Minneapolis School of Massage and Bodywork. Since my certification 21 years ago I have practiced out of my home office, primarily catering to female clientele. I hold myself to the highest standards of professionalism and integrity in my work, and I pride myself in providing a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment to which women of all ages may retreat and focus on themselves. In addition to my certification, over the last 27 years I have actively taken up the personal study of many aspects of holistic health and healing, and have a working knowledge of herbs, essential oils, homeopathy, and nutrition. I am also connected to a network of fellow practitioners in these various fields of practice to whom I feel comfortable referring my clients when the need arises. The mission of my work is to encourage and nurture wellness of Body, Mind, and Spirit. It’s not only my passion, but I believe it is my purpose for being here in this lifetime, to assist people to achieve true balance in their lives. Through each of you I continue to learn so much! My work is not only my joy, it is also my honor to serve every person who walks through my door. I am so grateful, and SO BLESSED to be a part of so many amazing journeys!!! Miigwetch!!!
