Aside from being a wife and mom of 5 kids, my second-greatest joy is helping others live pain-free.  I've been a Physical Therapist Assistant for 12+ years, and a Licensed Massage Therapist.  I've always enjoyed using my hands to release restrictions, increase mobility, and decrease pain in friends, family & clients. 

I've worked with all kinds of clients ranging from newborn babies and young kids to teenagers and adults, and even up to the elderly finding more comfort in life. I've found true joy in hearing the phrase "I didn't know it [pain] would ever go away" from many of my clients with a variety of injuries:

• Sports injuries: shin splints, knee pain, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow, etc.
• Overuse Injuries:  carpal tunnel, neck pain, low back pain, frozen shoulder, etc.
• Living Pain (aka getting old 😜): menstrual pain, headaches & migraines, brain tumors & strokes, etc.

I especially enjoy working with women and children who suffer from migraines & headaches, or who are limited one week out of the month with menstrual pain. 

When I'm not at school, in the kitchen, helping with homework, or working... you can find me running, reading, or doing something in the warm sunshine.
