I went to American Institute in Clifton, NJ for Massage Therapy and am a very proud mother to a beautiful little girl. Massage has always held an important place in my life due to being an athlete, it helped me with recovery from injuries as well as pre-game anxiety. Helping people experience massage really benefits because you get relaxation and healing all in one. That is something I’ve always wanted to put out to the world.
