Holding Sacred Space for your Individual Healing Journey
When you enter into a session with me, I offer a safe and trusting space, where you can be authentically YOU. I meet you where you are in your life's journey. Massage, energy work and coaching can put a person in a vulnerable position, and I aim to make sure that you feel safe, comfortable and not judged in any way. Trust and honesty are essential to the foundation of my work. I intuitively go with the flow of each session and cater to your body’s, mind’s and spirit’s specific needs.
My Story
A different lifetime ago, I went to college for International Business and worked for years in the Finance and Insurance industries. I then left the corporate world to be a stay-at-home-mom to my 3 beautiful boys. These were the happiest and most fulfilling 12 years of my life!
Then when it became time to go back to work, I knew inside that I didn't want to return to the financial setting. I began soul-searching to find out what I really wanted to be when I grew up. ;-) I have always enjoyed receiving massages, and there came a pinnacle point in my life about 8 years ago when I realized that I would enjoy giving a massage just as much as receiving one. From there, I embarked on a beautiful journey...

I graduated from the Finger Lakes School of Massage in Mt. Kisco, NY in 2016 where I completed an extensive 1,000 hour program encompassing both classroom and clinical training. I am trained in a variety of modalities. I then went on to gaining advanced training in Hot Stone Massage, Oncology Massage, Reflexology and energy work. I began working as a Reiki practitioner in 2019, and then advanced to Usui Holy Fire Reiki Master in 2021. I absolutely love blending massage and Reiki energy healing into one - it's such a beautiful combination!
I started out working for several years in the spa setting, and then at a chiropractor's office, in a more medical/healthcare environment. Then in 2021, I was so excited to branch out into my own business and studio! And now in 2023, I’m continuing to grow and expand, adding transformational life coaching into my practice.
Over the last 6 years, I’ve been on my own personal spiritual awakening and healing journey. Life handed me some pretty traumatic situations and I had to learn how to overcome them to move forward in my life in a positive direction. Grief, narcissistic abuse and divorce almost took me down for good. But I’m so incredibly grateful that I was able to push through and make it to the other side, and get to a much healthier and happier place in my life. The wisdom and strength that I have gained from my life experience these last years is truly priceless. And now…..I am focused on taking that pain and turning it into power by helping others along their healing journeys. If I can do it, so can you! Whether through massage, Reiki, or coaching, I’d be honored to be a part of your story!
My 3 teenage boys keep me active and on my toes, running around for their schools, sports and extra-curricular activities. I enjoy being on the soccer field sidelines, wrestling bleachers and theater backstage, supporting their interests.
If there is one thing I try to teach my children the most, it’s to be true to their authentic selves, and don’t let anyone dull their sparkle!!
