Hello! I am originallyfrom the Gulf Coast and I moved to middle Tennessee in 2015. In college, I studied nursing and earned my bachelors degree. When I set out to work, the one thing I wanted was to take care of people and make them feel better. I soon learned that it wasn't going to be in nursing. During this time I also experienced the death of my parentsand sister within a 2 year period. This led to a long break in my nursing career but also began the rest of my journey.I kept myself busy with the job of homeschooling my kiddos. When we moved to Tennessee,Ireceived my personal training certification through ACE and began running bootcampsuntil Covid hit.I began having a lot of back and body pains as well as autoimmune flare ups. Asa part of my search for relief, I began to research massage therapy schools and found Cumberland Institute of Holistic therapies. It wasn't until I started this massage journey at Cumberland that I realized the connection between the mind and body. The pain and the immune issuesI had been dealing withall these years weredirectly related to the grief I felt from all my losses. My hope is to bring some relief to others no matter where they are in the healing process. I believe we are not separate compartments to heal one at a time. We area whole body, mind, and soul made by God towork together for healing. At Cumberland, I receivedtraining in Lymphatic Drainage Massageto better help myself with autoimmune issues and I to hope to carry that over to help others as well. I believe in different healings for different bodies and Iam willing to work along side other practitioners for the total body care of the individual.I plan to grow my knowledge of lymphaticsin order to build my toolbox to help others. When I am not working you'll find me at the gym de-stressing! I love to sing in the church choir, read books, and sew.
