Changing the narrative of massage begins with educating others about the therapeutic, evidence based benefits of massage. This means increasing the understanding and awareness of the healing properties as well as debunking the myths and misconceptions that might discourage someone from receiving massage services. To redefine the gift of touch, intentional purpose and safety must be the focus whether it be to refresh, restore, or repair.
Normalizing pain, poor posture, trauma, and tension is a part of our fast paced, hustle and grind society. Our bodies are designed with intricate connectivity and, oftentimes, the primary area of pain is actually not the source of the problem. Thus, it’s imperative to receive massage therapy and bodywork techniques in order to help reveal the root cause and unveil varying degrees of acute and chronic conditions that are hidden deep within our soft tissue and myofascia.
Welcome to Redefine & Reveal Massage Therapy and Bodywork, LLC! I come to serve you in your healing process with 10 years of Licensed Massage Therapist experience including my Master's Degree in Exercise Science from the University of Northern Iowa and a Bachelor’s Degree in Fitness Management from Wartburg College along with an experienced background in fitness training and collegiate coaching.
It was revealed to me at a young age that I had a 'gift of touch', which grew into a passion to learn the human body’s form and function through understanding human anatomy and physiology. It wasn't until after graduate school and beginning my collegiate coaching career before I pursued my calling to become certified in massage therapy and earn my license.
Throughout my professional career, I have continued to have massage clients but on a very limited basis. It has been a dream of mine to become a business owner, combining so many of my passions together. As your licensed massage therapist, I seek to help you relieve tension from a chronic condition by releasing adhesions and constrictive fascia in order to increase your range of motion, enhance performance and quality of life. In doing so, I will provide opportunities to learn about the benefits of massage therapy, stretching techniques and other ways to provide self-care.
I truly feel God has revealed my purpose by utilizing my love for anatomy and physiology and gift of touch, to help educate others and restore healing in so many, especially for those from historically marginalized communities and those who have experienced unsafe touch, which is why I have incorporated 'Render a Respite' Massage Therapy Healing Program to better reach and serve community members in need of healing, through charitable donations. Such giving will allow health equity for those unable to afford, have experienced unsafe touch, or are in a difficult situation whether it be from past traumas, mental health illness, financial stresses, etc. giving a moment of restorative 'respite' using a trauma-informed approach.
Thank you so much for your support!
