Tell us about your massage school and other trainings:
I attended the Rexburg College of Massage Therapy, right next to BYU-Idaho. Being that some of our instructors were professors at the college, we had full access to their incredible anatomy labs and learning resources. That experience gave me a deep appreciation for how complex-and miraculous-the human body truly is!
Since then, I've continued my education in orthopedic and functional bodywork, neuromuscular therapy, Thai massage, cupping, scraping (Gua Sha), and advanced stretching techniques. I also had the privilege or working at Body Sage Spa in Jackson Hole, a five-star destination spa known for performance-level recovery and exceptional standards. That experience taught me how to blend luxury-level care with deeply therapeutic results.
What bodywork are you currently studying?
I'm currently diving deeper into Structural Integration and Orthopedic Thai-inspired techniques which are approaches that explore how the fascial system influences posture, movement, and emotion. I'm fascinated by how releasing even one small restriction can restore flow throughout the entire body. Every new technique feels like learning another dialect in the body's language.
What do you want people to know about their body?
Your body is not broken- it's brilliant. Every ache or tightness is your body trying to communicate, not punish you. It holds memory, emotion, and resilience, and it's always working toward balance. My goal is to help people trust their body again and understand that healing happens when we listen instead of override.
What do you want people to know about health and wellness?
Health isn't a destination; it's a relationship. Real wellness isn't just about what you eat or how much you move- it's about connection, laughter, rest, boundaries, and joy. Healing happens when you invite both science and spirit into the process- where good bodywork meets prayer, intuition and presence.
Self-Care Advice
Don't wait on until you're running on empty to take care of yourself. Book the massage, go for the walk, drink the water, and breathe deeply. True self-care is about maintenance, not crisis. Sometimes the most healing thing you can do it allow yourself to slow down and receive.
What is your favorite system in the body?
The fascial system, without question. It's the connective tissue that links everything together- muscles, bones and even emotions. Fasica tells the story of how we move through life. When it's tight, we feel restricted not just physically but emotionally. When it releases, the whole body feels lighter, more grounded, and free.
