"I started massaging friends and family nonprofessionally when I was 18. It was something that came naturally to me. In 1998 I had a notion to become a massage therapist. After working construction jobs for years, I was tired of hurting all the time. Finally in 2002 I left the construction field, to go back to school. I went to Metro Business College in Jefferson City in September of 2002. I graduated in 2003 and have been doing massage since. I joined One On One Personal Training. I am currently studying to become a Personal Trainer through American Council on Exercise.

I enjoy working with a diverse group of clients, watching them grow and reach their own personal fitness goals. My long term goal is to incorporate massage therapy and personal fitness into addiction recovery, to treat the whole person, not just the symptoms. I currently practice swedish, deep tissue / sports massage, and hot stone with a strong interest in aroma therapy and reiki. My hobbies include cooking, camping, fishing, reading and spending quality time with friends and family."
