About Me

I was drawn to alternative healing at a young age and took my first aromatherapy class when I was 15. My approach to healing stems from a variety of modalities that I tailor to each individual. Empathic by nature, I intuitively tune in to the areas that are causing distress. My practice includes massage (Swedish, deep tissue, lymphatic, craniosacral, trigger point, myofascial, hot/cold stone and reflexology,) as well as reiki, chakra balancing, crystal integration and aromatherapy. I graduated from the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy, I am Klose Certified in Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage, I am a Reiki Master in the Usui tradition, and received an MBA from St. Francis University. Currently, I am in the process of becoming a Certified Aromatherapist through the Anam Cara Apothecary School of Aromatherapy.

Prior to becoming a massage therapist, I spent nearly 30 years working in the banking industry, primarily as a commercial lender. That work not only afforded me the opportunity to travel extensively and interact with people from all walks of life, but to understand first-hand the mental, physical, and emotional stress that people working in a multitude of industries endure and its related effects on the body.

In addition to work-related stress, I also understand how caregiver stress can negatively impact one’s immune system and can relate to those in need of relaxation and self-care. Watching my own mother’s fight against Alzheimer’s disease caused me to spend over a decade volunteering with the Alzheimer’s Association, eventually becoming Chair of the Board of the Greater Pennsylvania Chapter, where my volunteer work continues to this day.

I am passionate about my true-life purpose, helping others heal their body, mind, and spirit, and it is my heartfelt mission that each of my clients has the very best wellness experience.
