I have always aspired to have a fulfilling and purposeful life that consists of using my talents to bring meaning, joy and comfort to others. I have been a practicing registered Nurse for over 20 years specializing in areas such as neurotrauma and Labor and Delivery. As a nurse interacting with all types of patients across the lifespan, I saw the need to help people connect with their self and their bodies in a way to promote optimal wellness through healing and relaxation, movement and mobility, restoration and recovery. As a practicing licensed massage therapist for over 15 years, I use integrative massage and bodywork modalities to help people feel better, heal better, function better and live better within their bodies. I want people to better appreciate every body part, every muscle fiber, every strand of connective tissue and fascia, and every joint, tendon and ligament that supports them daily. The Kneading Well, LLC came to fruition in 2020 as a result of my journey and commitment to helping others discover optimal function, health and wellness through massage therapy and bodywork. 

​

Outside of my careers in nursing and massage therapy, I am a mother of three, and DJ's GiGi who enjoys challenging her fitness with cycling, running, CrossFit and weight lifting. I have completed several half-marathons, open water triathlons, century rides and cycling races. My combined medical and athletic backgrounds provide me with a skill set to address a variety of client's needs from sports performance to chronic medical conditions. Over the past 10 years, I have been developing my professional skills and building my foundation. I completed two Masters Degrees in Leadership and Management (2010) and Business Administration (2018). I am certified in Nurturing The Mother® Prenatal Massage, a certified Modern Cupping Therapy© Practitioner, a certified SportStretch® massage therapist, a certified Manual Lymph Drainage Therapist Vodder method trained through Klose and trained in post-op massage through ACOLS.
