As a Chico native I have spent the majority of my youth and into my twenties enjoying the beauty of Chico and the wonderful community that dwells here! Chico has always been my home town and I’m very happy to be re-establishing myself back into this community as a Licensed Massage Therapist! After venturing off for a few years, I found my true calling in Massage Therapy and dove head first into the amazing world of Health and Wellness. I currently have four years of work as a Massage Therapist under my belt and continue to learn many techniques and modalities that could benefit my clients in the future.

The last three and a half years I was based out of Las Vegas, Nevada. While there I worked with Chiropractic specialists, as an in-office massage therapist and at a medical massage studio. I saw a wide variety of clients with ailments ranging from general postural aliment issues due to work and daily living, as well as clients with more specific issues such as recovery from various surgeries or accidents which left them with a wide variety of injuries. I specialize particularly in sports and medical massage with credentials also in cupping, kinesiology taping and the use of Graston to manipulate the tissue to provide for better massage results and range of motion. Stretching is also a big part of my massage! I have seen great results with clients by using the combination of massage and professional, controlled stretching to realign the body and provide for a more balanced muscular structure.

I believe in treating each client individually, based off of their own medical history and history of injury, to provide a more positive outcome for each individual. To make sure that occurs, all massages will be customized by starting with a thorough assessment, looking for postural deviations that may be affecting the muscular structure. I believe in giving the best possible care for each of my clients and catering to each individual by creating a therapeutic massage that meets the needs of each of my clients!
