About US

---

I first became interested in massage as a teenager. After seeing people experience chronic pain from auto immune diseases she sought to find a natural way to help their pain. I graduated from UCMT in 2017 and have been practicing massage for over 8 years. Seeking knowledge and pursuing the best version of oneself is my passion. Psoatic traumatic release work, chakra cleansing and realignment, foot and hand zoning, shiatsu, myofascial release, craniosacral therapy, lymphatic, injury and rehabilitation, and working with people that have auto immune disorders. I teach:

• Swedish 
• Pathology
• Safety & Special Populations
• Composite Massage
• Clinics

My reasons may not be as noble as others, LOL. Raising my children was my first priority. I wanted a profession that would give me flexible hours and decent pay, and I wanted schooling that was affordable and fast because traditional higher education can be very costly and lengthy. I graduated from Myotherapy College in 2007 and have practiced massage therapy for over 17 years. I specialize in chronic pain, repetitive motion injuries, specific and targeted massage, stress relief and deep pressure. I also specialize in alternative therapies for individuals suffering from chronic pain and injuries. I’m certified in the Graston Technique, renowned for its effectiveness in treating soft tissue injuries. I currently oversee:

• Clinics
• Administration 

I am a graduate of Idaho State University's massage program, and a Reiki Master in the Usui Shiki Ryoho method. I am all about delivering a therapeutic and healing experience to everyone I touch. I integrate training, intuition, and academic knowledge of the body to deliver a unique and comprehensive healing experience, all with a nurturing and attentive touch. I am excited to pass my knowledge of massage therapy on to future students at MLA! I teach:

• Muscle Anatomy, Palpation, and Kinesiology I, II, & Review
• Spa Tools & Techniques
• Anatomy Review

I always knew I wanted to help people in a different approach to the medical field, especially growing up with a dad that was an MD. He was different from most doctors, he used herbs and acupuncture. I knew I was meant for an alternative as well. I was also intrigued with the brain and how it works both psychologically and physically which led me to massage school and craniosacral therapy. I learned in school that massage therapy is so much more than just feeling good but a way to facilitate and help the body’s natural way of healing. I graduated from Renaissance College of Massage Therapy in 2019 and have been practicing massage for over 5 years. I’m specialized in lymphatic massage, Swedish, deep tissue, and craniosacral therapy (Upledger Institute certified). I teach:

• Deep Tissue I
• Modality Appreciation
• Composite Massage

A gymnastics injury broke my pubic bone and left me in traction. I couldn’t bear weight, and the hospital called in a manual therapist. His work got me back on my feet. Years later I was experiencing a great deal of stress, and my doctor strongly encouraged some life changes. I was gifted a massage by my brother. Halfway through the massage I asked the massage therapist how stressful his job was. I enrolled in massage school that day. I graduated from Utah College of Massage Therapy for both their Professional Massage Therapist program and their Master Bodyworker program in 2011. I have practiced massage for over 14 years. I specialize in headache pain management (migraine release), medical massage, myofascial release, injury, trigger point, and craniosacral therapy. I teach:

• Muscle Anatomy, Palpation, and Kinesiology I, II, & Review
• Deep Tissue I, II
• Safety & Special Populations
• Ethics & Business in Massage 
• MBLEx Prep

I became interested in massage after my family was in a car accident and we received massage therapy for recovery. This made me want to help other people with their pain relief and management. I graduated from UCMT and have been practicing massage for over 7 years.

I specialize in Deep Tissue, Injury Rehab, & Trigger Point Therapy for massage. I am also duly licensed as a Master Esthetician. I also specialize in Facials, Dermaplaning, and Chemical Peels. I teach:

• Introduction to Hands: Foundations
• Systemic Human Anatomy

I became interested in massage while taking a medical related career course as a junior in high school. I had wanted to go into the mediation field but not as a nurse or doctor. We had a massage therapist come as a guest speaker, and he demonstrated how to help relieve headache pain through massage. I thought that was wonderful and decided being a massage therapist would be a good career for me. I attended school at the Apollo College in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Shortly after I graduated it changed to Carrington College. I’ve been a massage therapist for almost 18 years and an esthetician for 14 years. I teach:

• Intro to Hands: Foundations
• Swedish
• Spa Tools & Techniques
• Modality Appreciation

In 2015 I had an accident that was worse than I initially realized. I had body work done in 2016 that addressed my issues and I wanted to help others experience the same thing. I graduated from Myotherapy College of Utah. I received my licensed in 2021 and I've been working solely as an LMT since 2022. I love doing clinical work like working on athletes or helping with past injuries. I specialize in some manual therapy techniques and medical massage (segmental). I teach:

• Muscle Anatomy, Palpation, and Kinesiology I & II
• Systemic Human Anatomy & Physiology 
• Deep Tissue II

I always knew that I wanted a career that involved helping people feel better, and I loved human anatomy (but not med school level math!) so I decided to try massage school in 2013. Best decision ever! I received my massage therapy certification through UCMT, and my Associate’s (Psychology) and Bachelor’s (Rehabilitation Sciences/Physical Therapy) degrees at Weber State University. I’m a total nerd for anatomy. My poor friends and family get punished with a long explanation every time they ask me a simple question about anything body-related. I specialize in deep tissue, trigger point therapy, sports therapy, and post-injury work. I teach:

• Massage Anatomy, Physiology, & Kinesiology I & II
• Pathology I & II
