Welcome

to the new Happy + Healthy Place!

When I decided to go to massage school it was because I wanted to be a different kind of therapist. Way back then, in 2004 I knew I wanted to approach the body, and specifically pain, in a different way, treating the whole body, physically, mentally, emotionally; massage allowed me to do that. Five minute treatments weren’t going to do it for me, nor was sticking to a specific treatment plan that seemed rigid for a specific injury.

I wanted to treat the whole person, not just the injury.
I wanted to adjust my approach depending on what the client was presenting that day; physically and mentally.
I wanted to make permanent change in the client’s life and not just put on a bandaid on their complaint.

This is why you come to see me for massage.

My approach and treatment has changed over the years, as I gained new knowledge and experience, and for many years my treatments never were JUST massage.

Back in 2017 I added my first coaching certificate after a client said “I should pay you twice, once for the massage and again for the coaching you’ve given me!”, and that got me thinking; see it wasn’t about being paid twice (but let’s be honest who would turn that down?), it was about the fact that this particular client made a significant change in her approach to her health that she no longer needs to see me for massage. Her pain was eliminated once she learned to recognize and navigate her stress.

I started BodyMind Coaching in 2020 before the pandemic hit – crazy the timing. BodyMind Coaching took what I knew from that experience with that one client and opened up a whole new world, a whole new approach to treating. 

What is coaching, specifically the BodyMind approach?
It’s when we connect and fully lived aligned so you can live an intentional life, one that you feel good about. It’s more than just changing your mindset but learning how your body and mind work tighter so you can make empowering choices that are easy and effortless. It helps you get unstuck in all areas of your life, including physical pain and discomfort.

This sounds simple, and it is, but it isn’t easy – especially if you are living in pain or discomfort because those sensations prevent you from truly connecting and listening.

The new HAPPY + HEALTHY Place is more than a pretty new website and branding, it’s a new approach to you – ALL OF YOU – your health, your career, your relationships, your happiness.

All of these changes are because I have changed.

So, what can you expect with all of these changes?
Coaching is my main focus. My goal is help you understand how your body speaks to you (and it really does) so that you can learn to treat yourself. Coaching is all about empowering you so that you don’t have to rely on me (or any health care practitioner).

You will start to see monthly play-shops (yes, play-shops because it isn’t work) to help you start your journey in a simple and safe way.

And for those of you ready to jump in schedule a free coaching call to see what it’s all about, or extend your next treatment to 90 minutes where you will experience how coaching and massage even go together.

And before you freak out, yes I am still massaging and you can book your regular treatments (for now). Note, I am only taking new clients who are ready to step into full transformation with this new (but not so new) approach.

I’m excited to continue working with you on this deeper level.
