More about my approach
Feeling overwhelmed by conflicting health advice and one-size fits all solutions? I get it and it is why I entered this field.
While traditional medical systems often focus on treating illness after it develops, I’ve long been drawn to a more preventative, whole-person approach to health. This perspective has guided my work and continued education over the past decade.
I graduated as a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner from the Nutritional Therapy Association in 2021, where I studied the interplay of the digestive, endocrine, cardiovascular, and immune systems, and the role of nutrition and lifestyle in supporting overall health. In 2025, I completed a Massage Therapy Certification at the Massage and Wellness Institute in St. Albans, Vermont. My training includes a wide range of bodywork and energy modalities, including Swedish massage, deep tissue, shiatsu, Thai massage, reiki, and fire cupping.
In 2026 I completed training in the Vodder Technique of Manual Lymphatic Drainage, a gentle and effective medical technique designed to support immune function, reduce swelling and encourage the body’s natural detoxification process.
I integrate these modalities and knowledge to provide personalized, whole-body care. Each session is tailored to individual needs and goals, with a focus on prevention, longevity, and measurable outcomes. My work helps support immune function, reduce pain and fatigue, and address underlying patterns that contribute to chronic inflammation.
