Why I Chose To Be A Massage Therapist

I became a massage therapist partly from years of long distance running. I was getting a massage after running a race and the massage therapist said that if I liked getting massages and liked people, I would probably enjoy being a massage therapist. It's true! I love working with my clients- helping others de-stress and reduce their muscular pain/tension is very rewarding!

My Customized Approach To Therapeutic Massage and Skincare

I trained to be a lmt (licensed massage therapist) through Sage School of Massage in Bend, OR. Their focus is largely on clinical work- working the muscles specifically. I'm glad I have that as my background in training as I do feel also wired to work on stress relief. My first 7yrs as a massage therapist was at Massage Envy in Bend, OR. That is where I grew in my confidence as a massage therapist. I spent about 6-7months working for Falling Waters in Bend and that is where I got comfortable with deep tissue massage. My favorite place that I've worked for as a massage therapist is Anjou Spa. While there, I was 1 of 3 lmts working there as Anjou Spa was voted "Best Massage in Bend" in 2021. That not only makes me feel Awesome, but also contributes to my own practice: it is my desire to provide a personalized spa experience as much as I can in my small, sweet and quaint space.
