I am a Myotherapist and Licensed Massage Therapist providing massage therapy for over 23 years now.  The first 10 years of my experience was through a combination of owning a practice in Newport Beach, CA and working in conjunction with leading chiropractors in the area.  The last 10+ years took us abroad to Melbourne, Australia and back to America. In both locations I’ve been blessed to be able to dedicate time to raising my family while doing what I love. I am currently working at Whole Life Family Wellness Clinic located in beautiful Cache Valley, Utah.

I am a sports enthusiast with a passion for volleyball. I had the fortune of playing for a CA high school state championship team and at San Diego State University, where we ranked top 10 in the nation.  It was incredibly fun to participate at a high level of training and competition! Due to these experiences I gained a deep understanding of sports and fitness, body biomechanics, sports related training, injuries and rehabilitation.

Being a competitive athlete unfortunately meant numerous injuries. However, enduring the injuries, surgeries and rehab, I can honestly say it gave me a strong background both as a client and therapist. Providing treatments for people of all ages, from professional athletes to office athletes, has also given me many opportunities to help clients overcome musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction. 

I continue to pursue a love for movement, health & fitness, natural living, healthy cooking and holistic wellness.  I am an essentials oil junkie and love to learn how oils can help from a natural perspective. I like to think that I still play volleyball like I’m in my early 20’s BUT completely recognize my true age! My teenagers constantly remind me of my age when I try to play with them. I absolutely believe everyone has the ability to live pain free and restriction free allowing the body to function at its most optimal level. My goal is to help you enjoy moving more, living more and doing it all MORE joyfully!
