About Me

I graduated magna cum laude from the Soma Institute for Clinical Massage Therapy in Chicago in 2004. Then joined Soma's faculty as a tutor & core/advanced curriculum instructor whilst establishing a private and corporate massage practice in Chicago's best rehabilitation clinics, hospitals, and elite financial firms. 

Since then, I relocated to Redondo Beach, joined the Back Care Institute in 2014 as the lead massage therapist working closely with acupuncturists, nutritionists and chiropractors to facilitate a holistic approach for advanced medical cases and everyday chronic pain improvement. 

I was also granted by the National Massage Therapy Board of Massage and Bodywork as a certified instructor for seminars I create and teach for advanced practitioners to elevate the field of massage and bodywork.

My journey as a therapist is extensive with many winding roads.

Relocating to South Bay was to fix a neck injury that wouldn't heal and I was completely non-functional and in debilitating pain for years. I thought it was a career ending injury.  Actually, it was that extensive rehabilitation process that transformed me into the therapist I am now.

My journey to avoid neck fusion surgery comprised many steps. It included traction therapy, ligament stabilization, physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, therapeutic bodywork and ergo dynamically altering every aspect of my life.  I am forever grateful to the many practitioners that helped me along the way and the education it brings to my practice.  

Now, I take all that experience and knowledge to help others with chronic issues and injuries regain hope and progress into a more pain free life.  

I am excited to be a part of Heal LA with the best talents to continue help, heal and provide hope to those that are looking for "their healthcare team".
