BIO
Personal Profile
It’s so difficult to condense over a decade of knowledge, study, and experience into a single “specialty.” My career has provided me many opportunities for growth and development of my professional skills, and over the years I have learned so much from my students, my teachers, my bosses, and my colleagues.
I’ve built a sustainable and successful clientele in spas, clinics, and in private practice.
I’ve helped so many massage students master the fundamentals and achieve their dreams of starting their new careers.
I’ve worked with massage spas to train and develop their staff, grow their clientele, and increase revenue.
I’ve helped massage schools to train the next generation of massage therapists, increase student engagement, and improve MBLEx pass rates, graduation rates, and student job placement.
Now, I’d like to help you, too!
While my knowledge-base and skillset may be broad, my particular specialties are:
Massage: Therapeutic Hot Stone Massage
Education: Skeletal System, Bony Landmarks, Joints
Professional: Therapist Retention (reducing turnover)
