I began my massage journey in 2006 at the recommendation of my mother who believed I was "gifted with strong hands". I quit my stressful job and went to massage school full-time. After graduating, I knew I was embarking on a career of a lifetime in helping others feel better in their bodies. In 2009, I opened Anointed Hands in Wauwatosa, WI. ?

After years of providing daily massages, I sought out a fitness regimen to help ease the aches and pains, increase my longevity in the massage field and simply keep me strong. Upon taking my first Pilates lesson, I instantly felt relief in my body. I knew then that I had to learn how to teach Pilates as well. In 2018, I completed my teacher training and became certified to teach Pilates from beginner to advanced levels.

Being certified in both enables me to combine the therapeutic benefits of massage with Pilates to retrain the body and mind's perception of pain. It's absolutely amazing that I get to help clients recover from pain, build strength, and gain body awareness on a regular basis. I am so blessed!
