My Story

I used to suffer with constant migraine-like headaches that affected my ability to consistently show up in life. After a car accident in 2016, I suffered with broken bones and other injuries, including spinal problems, so this career is way more than just a business for me, it's a way of life. I truly practice what I preach and do the work of embracing self care and getting regular massage. Because of this, I am able to approach each client from the perspective of lived experience. I have an active lifestyle, so the ability to manage my pain is imperative to me as a mother, prospective law student, martial artist, yogi and small business owner. â€‹I enjoy traveling, have a B.A in History and love anime, reading, Harry Potter and coffee. So feel free to nerd out with me!

​

As an unintentional way of embracing my boricua roots, I have studied and educated myself extensively in herbal healing and natural remedies. This has taught me the importance of integrative therapies because it grants us the ability to overcome physical, mental, emotional or spiritual challenges by embracing what the earth gave us. Thus, we can potentially reduce the need for medications or invasive procedures. I enjoy working with other medical professionals to provide clients with an holistic approach to wellness. â€‹

 

​A highlight of my career was going to Big Island, Hawai'i to learn Lomi Lomi from the locals. From that trip I developed an understanding of Lomi Lomi's deep cultural and historical significance to the island. I was taught and practice the philosophy of Ho'oponopono, embracing its integral connection to the land, Hawaiian language and Indigenous-Polynesian roots. That experience has provided me with a gift and knowledge I can share, with the utmost love and humility.

My Approach

My goal is to provide a safe, friendly and peaceful retreat for all those seeking a break from everyday pain and stress. I'm so glad you've made the choice to choose your self-care! Congratulations, you deserve it!

​

I have helped numerous clients finally be free from debilitating, life-impacting headaches and migraines.

 

I have helped people overcome neck and shoulder pain that prevented them from being able to move freely or turn their head.

 

My clients have found relief from sciatica and hip pain.

 

I have also assisted expecting mothers and recovering postpartum mothers with relief from the impact that child-bearing has on the female body. 

​​

Most importantly, I provide every single person on my table a safe space to ground, completely check-out, talk or laugh.

​

With my personal and professional experience, I always consider how things feel when working on others and treat others just as I would want to be treated. I will always be authentically myself and want the same for you!
