This all started for me when I had a serious life threatening accident at the age of 7. Lifelong chronic pain combined with a desire to help led me to the study of psychology and then into Eastern Medicine. Pilates had helped me rehabilitate and manage chronic pain and dysfunction from early injuries so I realized that it could help others too. My entire learning process was about things that I had tried that helped my pain and alignment!!!

In 2009 I stepped back from clinical work for the first time and began teaching shiatsu pregnancy and adjunctive therapies as well as supervising student clinics. In 2015 I began delivering the courses that I had developed as continuing education classes. In 2016 Michael Phelps brought Cupping to the forefront of everyone's mind.

My desire to deliver efficient, effective techniques for practitioners to not only improve the quality of treatments, but also to make it easier on the body has been my prime motivation. Since the 2016 Olympics cupping therapy has become extremely popular, and there was a lot of misinformation being spread. It became my mission to try to provide high quality, evidence based information that is delivered through the lens of Traditional Medicine.
