With nearly a lifetime of experience and practice in massage, bodywork is definitely my calling in life. At the age of 5, my grandfather first taught me how to rub his shoulders and it became a daily after-school job. From that point on, I grew up working on friends and family, from putting my 3rd grade teacher to sleep on a regular basis, to working the tension and pain out of my mother's shoulder from a pinched nerve, and even walking on my father's back to provide him relief after a hard day's work as a carpenter.

My familiarity with bodywork evolved over the years along with my techniques, and although I didn't immediately pursue Massage Therapy as my profession after school, I continued to work on friends and family who would often come to me to ease their aches and pains. Finally, I could no longer ignore what people have told me for years and decided to obtain the education and licensure necessary to practice massage professionally. I haven't looked back and my clients have been thanking me ever since!

In 2014, after spending some time working under the direction of a Physical Therapist and then at a full-service spa, I started my independent practice, Knead to Relax Massage Therapy. I'm conveniently located off I-45 on Oak Ridge Drive (north of Rayford/Sawdust) in the Spring/Woodlands area of Houston, Texas.
