Like many others, my journey to becoming a Massage Therapist started with the pain in my own body. Throughout my early twenties, I lived to ski. Skiing brought me joy and confidence, a connection to myself and my body that I was otherwise lacking. When not in ski boots, I was in the Colorado alpine, backpacking, hiking, summiting peaks, pursuing the outdoors with a head over heels adoration.

In 2018, I moved to Alaska with big dreams of continuing my enthusiasm for big mountains in a place known for dramatic skylines and deep snow. It wasn’t long after arriving that I began to feel the effects of years of pushing the limits of my body with little to no recovery. I was in pain and it was holding me back from pursuing the things that brought me joy.

So, I turned to massage. With regular bodywork, and talented practitioners, I began to feel my body restore again, I was able to jump back into movement and the mountains with newfound freedom and confidence. This sparked a passion that ignited my pursuit of massage as a career.

Discomfort and pain in our bodies can stem from a variety of causes. It is my belief that massage is only a facilitator, a tool in our belts to be incorporated with other techniques to address the whole. Massage is not the answer but a part of the solution.
