I crave connection and deep meaning and by giving nurturing massage and empowerment advocacy to women I fulfill this desire in a very unique way.
Something magical happens during massage especially if coupled with empowerment advocacy. My clients’ de-stress and commune with themselves on a deep level while Universal Love flows freely.
The result is rejuvenation and a deep sense of peace, calm, and access to inner wisdom which provides clarity and inner alignment that is supportive of ones essential self.
The experience can be deeply therapeutic and divine for my client and I get to experience another person on a level that is very rare, I get to feel them engaging with their soul.
With my repeat clients I also get to learn new perspectives, hear real stories, listen, share, encourage and support. I get to connect in a way that is not always common and my clients become my valued community.
My education, certifications, business developments, professional connections, and continued self exploration focus on the importance of personal growth and enhanced quality of life making me an excellent resource for my clients and a professional, grounded, down-to-earth massage therapist.
