I have been interested in Massage since I graduated high school. I did a year apprenticeship in Orem Utah focused mainly on Swedish and Therapeutic Massage. Life happened and I moved across the country and 10 years later I returned to Johnston Community College to refresh my skills and gain more education. There I have fine tuned my Therapeutic and Swedish techniques. I hope as I continue helping others through therapeutic massage they will see there is so much more to massage.
