About Me

I am licensed & registered with New York State as a Massage Therapist since 2012.

I am Board Certified with the Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (BCTMB®) --the highest credential within the massage and bodywork profession. Choosing to become Board Certified demonstrates advanced assessment and critical thinking abilities.

I am an active member of AMTA, the American Massage Therapy Association, which is the largest nonprofit, professional association serving massage therapists, massage students and massage schools. 

When death knocks on your door, you look at life differently.   2009 was a game changer for me.  I was only 45 at the time, single mother of 2 teenagers.  I had to have open heart surgery to remove an aortic aneurysm and replace a defective aortic valve. I surely would have died that year if left undetected and the aneurysm ruptured.

My mantra became, "Work less, enjoy life more."  I took a huge risk and quit my 9 to 5 job because, what the heck, I just got to actually have a future!   

I eagerly pursued a new career as a Massage Therapist.  I graduated from Ithaca's prestigious Finger Lakes School of Massage in 2011, and now have over 12 years hands-on experience.

In my free time I enjoy hiking, walking, kayaking, camping, vegetable & perennial gardening.   I look forward to getting to know you, not just as a client, but as a wonderful new friend. 

I hope to become an important part of your ongoing health care team.
