My journey as a massage therapist began in 1990. I was a single mother of 2, looking for a rewarding career that also paid enough to support my family. After the birth of my second son, I suffered from a pinched nerve and herniated disc in my low back. Doctors gave me a 2% chance of walking without surgery. I wasn't sure I believed that so looked into alternative health care. With the help of chiropractic care and self massage/acupressure, my back healed. Doctors thought it was a miracle. I thought it was normal. I believed given the help and right care, the body frequently can heal itself. This experience attracted me to the alternative health care field. I attended the Minneapolis School of Massage for basic training. Following school I worked for 2 years at the Aveda Spa in Osceola, WI. In 1992 I opened my own business, Balanced Body Balanced Life in Lindstrom, MN. Over the years I have furthered my education in many modalities including: Acupressure Aromatherapy Deep/Connective Tissue/Sports Massage Advanced Cranio Sacral Therapy Somato Emotional Release Myofascial Release I (MFR) MFR II MFR Fascial-Pelvis MFR Cervical Thoracic MFR Unwinding MFR Rebounding 5 Elements Chinese Detoxification Abdominal Massage (Chi Nei Tsang) Foot/Hand Reflexology Reiki Master Scalp Massage Manual Lymph Drainage MPS Scar Release Therapy (SRT) ETPS Neuromechanical Therapy While I LOVE my work, I also have a passion for creating and designing mobiles and jewelry based on Feng Shui and 5 Elements.
