The story so far…

So here we are. After nearly 20 years working in Human Resources I found myself becoming increasingly frustrated with the structure and, frankly, lack of humanity within the corporate world. I started therapy and embarked on a long-term journey of improving my mental and emotional health. Part of that included re-evaluating life decisions that had always seemed obvious, but perhaps were automatic.  I wanted to be thoughtful in my decision making. I wanted to get better at living intentionally.

After a lot of soul-searching I decided to take a career about-face and pursue a profession I had dabbled in for years - massage therapy.  I enrolled at Irene's Myomassology Institute in 2024, and found my passion for helping people with the healing power of touch. I honed my skill with some of the absolute best in the profession.  We are insanely lucky to have such a tremendous training facility right here in our backyard.

I knew from the beginning I wanted to start my own business - I had seen too many companies sacrifice the experience of customers and employees in the name of profit.  I want to be different.  I want my clients to feel welcome, safe, and comforted within my walls. I want to have the ability to give space for healing in all the ways that I know how. I've found my passion and I want to share it.

And so I started Strong Hands Wellness to do that.  Welcome to my practice.

I would love for you to grow with me.
