Licensed Massage Therapist

License numbers MA82742

I became a licensed massage therapist in 2003. Earned certification at the first accredited massage school in Missouri, The Massage Therapy Training Institute. Training includes Deep Tissue, Structural Integration, Prenatal, Thai on the Table and 20 years of experience and melting together everything I've learned to custom create a massage plan that works for each individual client.

Clients seeking my service come to me for chroninc long term pain relief and acute, structural and posture correction and stretching. Working with each individual. Researching and observing their condition. I work with my clients by listening, observing and researching their conditions to design a treatment plan based on their unique goals, life movements, posturology assessment and a strong knowledge of anatomy and muscle function. When a client comes to me for pain relief, I focus on relieving the cause of their pain. Deep tissue Massage is definitely one of my specialties as I enjoy the deep relaxation and invigorating affects it has on the entire body. Because every day I get the opportunity to improve someones day, week, month or life I strive to do my best every massage every time.

Massage Therapist License number MA95944

I obtained my license from Cortiva Institute of Massage Therapy in 2020. I employ a variety of modalities,  such as Myofascial Release, Nueromuscular Therapy, Deep Tissue , and Structural Integration; as well as pairing Kinesiology and stretching. I approach every massage as a uniquely singular experience. I want every one of my clients to know they are in a judgement-free space with me; I prioritize the comfort and safety of each of my clients. I believe that one can achieve significant progress in pain management through the manual tissue manipulation of Massage therapy.

I was born and raised in Gulfport, Fl, and am honored to work and grow here. I have practiced at The Art of Massage since 2022. I love this community because of the people in it. I was inspired to practice massage therapy by one such person, Leta, the founder of The Art of Massage. I am fortunate to work in the space that Leta built. Seeing the impact Leta had on her clients motivates me to continue to grow as a massage therapist and lifelong Gulfportian. I am honored to plant my roots at The Art of Massage and reach towards providing each of my clients with more pain free existence.
