Since graduating from the Massage therapy program in 2005, I have taken a keen interest in pre and post-natal care as well as the management of pain symptoms for the computer worker. I have taken post-graduate classes in pre and post-natal massage therapy and fitness, infant massage, shoulder girdle rehab and stabilization, fascial release of the spine and ribs, and sports physiology, research methods, and pain science. I grew up competing with my horses in the disciplines of Dressage and 3-Day Eventing, and have an excellent grasp of the issues riders face. I have recently returned to riding (hunter/jumper) after a 17-year hiatus.

When not working or studying, most of my spare time is spent reading, hiking, dreaming of travel, and watching movies.
