Gleam ‘n’ Glow Wellness

Certified Massage Therapist and Health Educator
Why did I choose this path?
After my second surgery for removal of Endometriosis, I discovered what I wanted to do with my new chance at life. Help people who are burdened with chronic pain. Navigating life with chronic pain or physical disability is such a struggle when you don’t have the right tools nor resources on hand. The most influential resources of all are the people in your practitioner bubble - they are the ones that make or break your experience. Routine holistic care has positively affected my lifestyle in many ways - both physical and emotional. When you begin to work on one thing, the rest of what it’s attached to will untangle into improvement you never thought you’d see. That’s the wonderful thing about massage therapy - everything is connected, even if it doesn’t make any sense. Finding those connections in your body will lead you to appreciate not only the techniques, but yourself.
That’s why I chose the path of holistic care - to share my knowledge of coping with pain and implementing useful self care routines in hopes of improving your quality of life.
What is my mission?
Over the past 15 years, I have collected numerous helpful tools and routines for managing chronic pain. Along the way, I have learned what should and shouldn’t be tolerated when advocating for my health. Thanks to my surgeon, holistic practitioners, various gadgets, communities I’ve joined, a birth doula program, and an accredited massage school, I am transforming into the kind of practitioner I believe everyone deserves—a dedicated professional who is passionate about their work and fosters a supportive, transformative environment for the community. I strive to create an exceptional environment characterized by safety, teamwork, and progress. My dream is to help ignite your healing powers so you can shine and thrive.
Remember, your life isn't over; it's just beginning.
