My older sisters used to entice me into giving them backrubs by offering various “rewards.” Years later, I instinctively massaged my children–their very presence reward enough. While working at A. I. duPont Children’s Hospital my experiences confirmed what I already knew. As I held my patients’ feet or stroked their hair the monitors connected to them revealed a measurable, physical response Through a series of extraordinary events, I have followed the path that led to this calling where I now have a front row seat to witness the power of touch–physical, emotional and spiritual–and I have never looked back.
Aside from pouring myself into my business I am a wife and a mother to four very special people. I have a passion for cooking and baking and can often be found in the kitchen trying out new recipes on family and friends. I love taking walks in nature, cheering my kids on in whatever activity they are currently participating. I love to travel (though I don’t do nearly enough of this) and spending time doing just about anything with the people I love. Besides being an aspiring writer, I play the piano and paint. I read everything I can get my hands on to expand my knowledge in various areas of interest. I recently joined a book club where I’m reading for the fun of it and nurturing friendship with some fabulous women. I have enjoyed volunteering for Friendship House and Urban Promise and presently am thrilled to support the coffee-house ministry at Brewed Awakenings. I’m involved in a local prayer ministry and am blessed for the opportunity to massage the homeless through Family Promise. Finally, I find great joy in taking part in the miracles of healing that take place in this sacred space I call Body • Mind • Spirit.
Blessings,
