Licensed Massage Therapist License No. MA50499

Hey there! 
I'm a native to Fort Walton Beach, I have been a massage therapist since 2016, graduating from Pensacola State College.
Since 2017, I have been working at a chiropractic office in Shalimar, focusing mainly on medical massage. During my time there, I also became a registered chiropractic assistant. Over the past few years, I've built an amazing rapport with my clients, helping them recover from auto accidents, post-surgical soreness, limited range of motion, and the everyday wear and tear of life. 
In April of 2022, I became a yoga instructor. After traveling to Cocoa Beach, FL for an intensive 3-week teacher training, I began my work at Symmetry.
What lead me to pursue this yoga certification is that I very strongly believe we store our emotions and worries in our bodies, which eventually manifests into pain and limitations. 
My belief is that so many people have lost the connection with their physical self and practicing yoga would offer them a chance to reconnect with their body, giving them the ability to recognize not only their physical stress but their emotional stress. It also allows us a mental break for the necessary act of centering and a moment to ourselves to gather the strength to keep going, both needed to start healing.
My children are the inspiration to everything I do. My oldest, Audrey, graduated high school in 2021 and my little one, Olivia, entered kindergarten in 2022. We all like to enjoy our beautiful beaches, afternoons doing arts and crafts, and weekend road trips. For my me-time, hiking through the mountains is my thing. You gotta keep moving to keep moving! 

 I absolutely love what yoga continues to bring into my life. I’ve been practicing for about six years and earned my 200-hour RYT certification in October 2020, and I’ve enjoyed every moment of the journey. Several aspects of yoga draw me in, but one of the most meaningful is the practice of self-acceptance. Each class is an opportunity to honor our bodies exactly as they are that day. We work on releasing judgment—on the mat and, hopefully, in the way we treat ourselves throughout daily life.

I also appreciate that yoga creates space to be still, quiet, and observant. Life moves quickly, and taking even five minutes to slow down and check in with ourselves—physically, emotionally, and spiritually—can be both grounding and soothing. I love the intentionality behind each pose: noticing how your feet are placed, feeling your posture, and softening muscles that tighten without us realizing it. Yoga doesn’t have to be fast-paced to be powerful; there is real beauty in slow, controlled, mindful movement.

Outside of yoga, I’m a married stay-at-home mom with two high schoolers. I enjoy reading, traveling, kickboxing, and playing tennis.
