I was born in southern Illinois and raised in Mason County, Kentucky. After high school, I wanted to go into Accounting, but that wasn't the right choice for me. Instead I decided to enter the military and spent 4 years as a Combat Medic for the US Army, spending 3.5 years in Seoul, South Korea. Once my service was over, I still felt drawn to the medical field but I knew nursing wasn't where I was meant to be. So instead I turned to massage therapy, and I haven't looked back since. I graduated with my Associates Degree in Massage Therapy in 2010 from Gateway Technical and Community College. I spent 6.5 years with Massage Envy in Florence, and another 15 months with Massage Envy in Springhurst down in Louisville, discovering and fine-tuning my aptitude for deep pressure and deep tissue techniques, as well as becoming certified in Prenatal Massage and Hot Stone Massage. Two years ago, I started at A PEACEful Place with Linda, and it's been the best 2 years of my career thus far. My work with her has allowed me to quit the corporate scene and spend more time at home with my 3 children while still working despite our busy schedules. I absolutely LOVE my job.
Massage
Massage oil or cream is used with smooth, gliding strokes. Swedish massage uses firm but gentle pressure to promote relaxation, ease muscle tension and create other health benefits. It is a classic massage that will ease your stress and allow you to slip into a calm state of relaxation.
Lymphatic Drainage
Lymphatic Drainage is a very gentle light massage that helps to direct lymphatic fluid towards the lymph nodes. The lymphatic system is part of your immune system and cleans toxins, proteins, cancer cells, viruses, and dead cells about 20 times faster than the body is able to do on it's own. Once a large amount of toxins are eliminated, the body is able to relax more deeply and use it's energy more directly to regenerate the cells.
