I was born and raised on a farm in rural southern middle Tennessee. Growing up my life was filled with animals and open spaces. After being graduated from Columbia Academy, I earned a Bachelors of Arts degree from Rollins College in Winter Park, Florida. I spent a number of years in creative pursuits including my role as stage manager for Tennessee Dance Theatre and working with artists of varied disciplines. Bodywork has been an unexplored talent since working with actors in college. Comments by a recipient of such touch lead to the decision to formally study massage.

I completed certification as a massage therapist in December 1998 from Cumberland Institute of Wellness Therapy in Brentwood, Tennessee. I was licensed by the State of Tennessee in January 1999, License # 1414. Since that time I have continued my study of massage therapies through an ongoing series of seminars and workshops.
