Business Owner
My journey as Massage Therapist began in1987 while working in the feature film industry as a crew member in Pittsburgh, PA. During stressful shoots I began giving back and shoulder rubs to fellow crew members out of pity. They soon started lining up, wanting to pay me, also wanting longer massages. I began to take lessons at the community college and apprenticing with my instructor in myofacial technique.
in 1990, with a desire to learn more about my new career, I attended massage training at «The Scherer Institute for Natural Healing» in Santa Fe, NM. I never moved back. I spent the next 15 years continuing to practice massage in the area as a mobile therapist and had, for a short time, a small community clinic that ran on a sliding scale in Madrid, NM.
A Colorado resident since 2003 I have run «Heart2Hands Mobile Massage». With the addition of my NAHA standard training in Clinical Aromatherapy, I have evolved my practice as «Health In Essence» with treatment space in Lafayette.
