Upon graduating high school she attended Vanguard College and graduated with a Bachelors of Arts in Theology with Intercultural Studies.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) is a gentle, hands-on technique designed to support the body's lymphatic system. By using light, rhythmic movements, it helps stimulate the flow of lymph fluid, which can reduce swelling, remove toxins, and support the immune system. MLD is often used to manage conditions like lymphedema, boost healing after surgery, and promote overall wellness. Complete Decongestive Therapy (CDT) is a specialized treatment used to manage lymphedema and other conditions involving chronic swelling. It combines several key components: manual lymphatic drainage, compression therapy, skin care, and exercise. Together, these techniques help reduce swelling, improve lymph flow, prevent infection, and maintain long-term results. CDT is often considered the gold standard for effective lymphedema management. **note: at this time I can only offer MLD even though Im a trained CDT therapist. As a small practice I can not offer supplies needed to do the proper wrapping required for full therapy. I can however refer out as needed.
This can not be billed to the insurance. This is mandatory for anyone who has any medical history, referred by a medical professional, or knows they have edema.

TMJ massage therapy focuses on relieving tension and pain in the jaw muscles and joints, specifically the temporomandibular joint (TMJ). Using gentle, targeted techniques, a therapist works on the muscles around the jaw, neck, and head to reduce tightness, improve movement, and ease symptoms like jaw pain, headaches, or clicking when opening the mouth. This therapy can be especially helpful for those with TMJ disorders, teeth grinding, or jaw clenching.
