While attending college here, I began to regularly practice yoga. It was this practice of yoga that made me appreciate the connection between our body's health and our mind's health.

I grew up in Washington State and moved to Salt Lake City to attend the Utah College of Massage Therapy in 1995. When I was little I went to an iridologist every month, she would use muscle testing to gather information about the body. I learned early that my body knew more than me. For me, massage school was my doorway in to learning more about myself
