CIMT, graduated 2010 Primary Technique Instructor for Swedish, Joints, KOV’s and IANMT “Movement is Life”
I believe that without the ability to move we lose our ability to fully live. I have been practicing Neuromuscular Massage since graduating from the Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in 2010. In addition to massage I also offer Cupping, Personal Training and Corrective Exercise Therapy. Bodywork is more then just a job for me, it’s a journey of discovery in how the body wants to heal itself and move toward proper alignment and mobility. I am passionate about helping others attain their ultimate health and motion goals so that they can be free to move in their every day life. I also have a passion for teaching because I love seeing students learn and move into their life’s fullest potential.
