“Because joy is not something we wait for — it is something we live.”

Being a physical therapist has always been more than a job for me — it has truly been a calling. I continue to love that work and the opportunity to support people in their healing.

Over time, though, I began to notice that healing doesn’t stop at the physical body. I felt drawn to approaches that also support the nervous system, the emotions, and the deeper layers of who we are.

That curiosity led me toward Eastern approaches to health and eventually to Craniosacral Therapy, where the body, mind, and spirit are viewed as deeply interconnected.

Today, my work blends my experience as a physical therapist with the gentle, intuitive nature of Craniosacral Therapy — helping the body feel safe, supported, and able to access its own natural healing.

When I became an empty nester in 2016, I suddenly felt ungrounded and unsure of my place. That season invited me to turn inward, care for myself in new ways, and begin reconnecting with who I truly was — not just the roles I had filled for others.

But my struggles had started long before then. As a young gymnast, I carried deep feelings of not being “enough,” and I learned to hide those feelings instead of caring for them. Those patterns followed me into adulthood — even as I built a meaningful career helping others.

Eventually, I realized that while I had spent years caring for everyone around me, I hadn’t truly been caring for myself. That realization became a turning point.

From that point forward, I began choosing myself in small ways — slowing down, listening to my body, and allowing support instead of pushing through everything on my own. Over time, those gentle shifts changed not only how I lived, but how I understood healing.

It was during this season that I was introduced to Craniosacral Therapy. What struck me most was how gentle it was — yet how deeply my body responded. For the first time, I felt truly supported without needing to force or push anything. As I continued to receive this work, it all came together for me: healing isn’t about covering up symptoms, but about going deep to the root with gentleness, intention, and love.

In that moment, I knew this work had something important to offer — not just for me, but for others as well.

That realization inspired me to go deeper. I began studying Craniosacral Therapy so I could understand it more fully — not only for my own healing, but so I could support others in the same gentle, compassionate way.

Today, I feel honored to walk alongside others on their healing journeys. My intention is always to create a space that feels safe, nurturing, and deeply respectful of the body’s wisdom — a place where you don’t have to “push through,” but can simply allow your system to unwind and settle at its own pace.

Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle yet powerful healing modality that honors the body’s natural wisdom. It is based on the understanding that the body has an innate ability to heal itself. By gently releasing restrictions within the craniosacral system, the body’s own healing processes can function more freely and effectively.

I’ve been where you are. I know what it feels like to struggle — and I also know what it feels like to rise. Through find your joy, I am here to walk beside you as you reconnect with your body, your strength, and your joy — because joy is not something we wait for. It’s something we gently grow into and live, one day at a time.

Outside of my work, I love spending time with my family, being in nature, and finding simple moments of joy in everyday life.
