About Me

I

started my career in Tampa, Florida at the age of 17 in the beauty industry. I trained under names such as Toni and Guy, Graham Webb International, and KMS Hair Care. I received my first massage when I was 21 and was hooked. Now I hope to help others to find the happiness I did.

I have my National Certification and State Licensures in massage therapy and bodywork. I trained at Edutech Center in Clearwater, Florida, and graduated in 2005. I studied thirteen different massage modalities, including Swedish Massage, Deep Tissue, Sports Massage, Esalen Touch, Myofascial Release, Cranio-Sacral, and Aromatherapy, just to name a few. I have also taught massage therapy.

I have participated in Body Electric workshops, where I have learned to help people experience their potential as fully integrated, loving, and self-aware beings through personal growth exercises, touch, conscious breath, and honoring the wisdom of the body.

My undergraduate degree is in Biblical Studies and Preaching Ministries, and I have a Master of Divinity (MDiv) from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University. In addition to providing massage, barbering, and grooming services I am an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ.
