HEALING JOURNEY
I attended Connecticut Center for Massage Therapy after high school and have a licensed massage therapist ever since. When had been doing massage for a while I realized I wanted to do more for my clients and continue my education so I decided to go to nursing school. I graduated from University of Louisiana at Lafayette with my baccalaureate degree in Nursing and have been working as rehabilitation nurse since moving back to Arizona. I moved back to the area after living in Santa Fe for several years where I graduated from Southwest Acupuncture College. I the reason I moved back to Prescott was to come study at Natural Therapeutics in Mesa with Rhonda Marinakis to learn the osteopathic structural alignment techniques called Myopractics. I have studied chakra balancing and have been attuned to Reiki level 3.
