As a Licensed Massage Therapist, Holistic Life Coach, Yoga Therapist, Ayurvedic Lifestyle Counselor, and Trauma & Addiction Recovery Technician, I am passionate about bringing my knowledge and lived experience to the people of Appalachia. I have been self-employed for nine years as of October 2026. I hold an Associate’s Degree in Therapeutic Massage and have continued my education across multiple disciplines that explore the mind, body, and spirit.

In 2014, I earned my National Leadership Development Certification. In April 2018, I graduated from the University of Wellness with a certificate in Holistic Life Coaching. In August 2019, I completed a 30-hour Asian Bodywork and Yoga Therapy course, followed by an Ayurvedic program in 2021. Shortly after, I completed 40 hours of Trauma and Addiction Recovery training, becoming the first massage therapist in West Virginia to earn certification as an Auricular Acu-Technician. In 2025, I was approved through POCA as an Auricular Acu-Technician Trainer.

I currently serve on the board of the nonprofit organization The Lotus Way, where I work to amplify alternative approaches to healing. With a practical yet holistic perspective, I strive to support others in their healing journeys using both my professional training and personal experiences. I am a firm believer in the power of local people helping local people.
