I cannot remember a time in my life when I did not give back massages to people only early in life we called it “oinky doink”!  The human body and how it functions has intrigued me since my beginning years along with a love for the outdoors.  When I think of how magnificent God’s creation is, it captivates me.  I feel the same way when I use my hands to help relieve someone’s stress or pain.

It is my love for massage that made it easy to change the direction of my career (from insurance and telecommunications) to the massage industry and became professionally trained and nationally certified (NCTMB) in 2005.  It was then that I began my association with Dr. Aaron Oberst, D.C., Director of Healthy Balance Chiropractic & Wellness Center.

Working in a medical facility I have had the opportunity to work in conjunction with chiropractic treatments doing focused massage and treating people with muscle pain resulting from car accidents.  Of particular interest is working on people with special needs and on those in the geriatric community where comforting human touch is frequently neglected.

In keeping with my interests I have continued my education in Active Isolated Stretching (the Mattes Method), Pain Management and Orthopedic Massage, Myofascial Trigger Point, Myofascial Release, Hot Stone, Manual Lymph Drainage (Basic – Vodder), and Raindrop Technique. And in 2009, The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania passed license requirements making applications available in 2011 at which time I received my license. I am also a member of the Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals (ABMP).

Prior to my career in massage, I worked in accounting and inside sales for various companies. Skills learned at that time not only help me in my own business but also enable me to be active with my husband’s business and keep the Books for him as well as my brother’s business. My hobbies include singing in the choir, helping with church functions, bike riding on local trails, kayaking, baking, Jigsaw puzzles, reading, and traveling.
