Our Story

Metaphysically speaking, I think I always have been a healer. Our wounds and experiences transform us into who we are. My mom was in massage school while I was in high school. When I turned 18, she made an appointment for me to see her massage therapist. I loved it so much and wanted to go to school for massage as well. I couldn't imagine a more amazing profession than one that could help people feel better. I started massage therapy school soon after and fell deeply in love with the practice.

One day during my own appointment the r**e that I blocked out of memory for 7 years surfaced fully and unapologetically. That defining moment confirmed that that memory was stored in muscle and symptoms present psychosomatically and that I wanted to dedicate my life to helping heal others from this as I continued to heal myself from multiple layers of trauma. I continued working with my clients and sought out training that would help me support them and myself through the process of healing.

When I was newly sober, and working on healing my own shock and developmental trauma, I took an intensive Trauma TouchTM Therapy workshop. Over the 10 years I’d been working as a massage therapist, I had so many clients who would come in with chronic pain, abuse histories, and medical anomalies and wanted a modality that could address these somatic issues.

Countless clients would have emotional releases. I knew there HAD to be more that I could do to help. After taking the intensive workshop, I knew this was exactly what I wanted to be doing and this is what was missing from my practice. Concurrently, I was working on healing from my own shock and developmental trauma after being newly sober. I came back to Tallahassee and did my case studies and got certified as Trauma Touch Therapist.
