Life isn’t easy when you’re holding in emotions that never had a chance to be expressed. A braced body cannot be relax. When we’re overwhelmed, our proprioception (body position awareness) and our interoception (internal awareness of our own body) decrease, and that’s when we stop feeling like ourselves.
I've learned firsthand how unresolved trauma and anger can collapse inward into depression, how chronic stress takes up residence as pain, and how emotional dissociation erodes our capacity to function. Not just day-to-day, but in our relationships, our work, and in the moments that matter most.
​
Emotional resilience is a skill that can be taught. And recovery is possible. Through decades of struggle, I’ve developed tools and practices that have helped me feel more connected, calm, and confident: both in my body and in my life. Anecdotal evidence from my client reviews reinforce the sentiment.
Community
After working in tech for over 18 years as a Brand Strategy Consultant, Emotional Resilience Coach, Mentor, and International Public Speaker, I decided to completely change industries into health and wellness. Community service has always been integral to my work during college and into my career. I served as co-managing director for Girls in Tech Las Vegas, volunteer for the Lt. Governor's Entrepreneurship Advisory Board, A-Tech Advisory Board, GiveCamp volunteer, and Southwest Career Tech Academy Advisory board. For three years I also served on the boards of directors for two behavioral health nonprofits, work that deepened my understanding of the systemic gaps in mental health care long before I ever opened my own practice.
I recently gave 5 years of service at Avery Burton Foundation as a board member and also a Mental Health First Aid trainer who certified people in ways to respond to someone who may be experiencing a mental health crisis. If you'd like to learn more about my most recent non-profit work, visit AveryBurtonFoundation.org or ABFResiliencyProject.org.
​
These same skills of empathy and emotional resilience are what I now use with my clients during massage sessions. I specialize in Myofascial (MFR), Swedish massage techniques, and manual therapy that offers stress relief and relaxation from chronic pain. Relaxation can even be achieved from lifelong pain of old injuries. Whether you’re navigating stress, physical discomfort, or simply seeking more resilience to move through the challenges in your life, my Las Vegas massage studio is here to support your health and wellness journey.
​
This work is so important to me, that I chose to become an Anatomy and Physiology instructor at the European Massage Therapy School, located in The Lakes neighborhood of Las Vegas where I train future massage therapists. I still volunteer my time in the community, so if you're searching for Las Vegas massage volunteers for your next event, please contact me.

My Approach
Massage is more than just a physical treatment, it’s a therapeutic relationship. In my Las Vegas massage studio I integrate multiple modalities such as MFR, Swedish Massage, body mobilization, hot stones, anatomy education, and self treatment that meets your body’s unique needs in the moment. My approach supports:
-
Emotional regulation
-
Stress and pain relief
-
Improved posture and movement
-
Mind-body re-connection
-
Long-term wellness and resilience
Every session starts with a short consultation to discuss your goals. No two bodies are the same, and no two massages should be either. Book an appointment in my Las Vegas Massage Studio in Silverado Park Place, or schedule a mobile massage within the Las Vegas Valley for an extra $50 mobile fee.
Why I Do This Work
​
I used to feel exhausted, stuck, and stressed every single day. But learning emotional resilience tools helped me shift. John Barnes's style of Myofascial Release (MFR) therapy was a huge lever that helped me transform my life. I was introduced to other MFR styles: Ruth Duncan, Chris Melmoth, the Massage Sloth, and the Stecco Method. Through learning how to do the work of MFR and integrate it with Swedish massage and soft tissue manipulation, I began to experience more hope, better sleep, and even experienced better personal and professional relationships.
​
My goal? To live fully, and to spend meaningful time with my children while feeling calm, aligned, and well. That vision is what drives my work every day.
​
As a suicide loss survivor, I've learned that this delicate life can change in an instant. So why not live it with grace, joy, and intention?
​
Let me help you reconnect with your body, your breath, and your balance.
