I started my journey as a healer in Yuma at Arizona Western College. I earned my Associates in Applied Science for Massage Therapy in 2012 and graduated from the same program as my colleagues Allyse and Irene. The three of us now proudly make up the staff that is Vida Holistic Healing!

After I graduated, I moved to San Diego, where I would work as an independently contracted massage therapist, and also a Massage Lead in Ocean Beach, CA. After four years I moved to El Paso, TX and continued my work. I became homesick, fast, and soon moved back westward to Phoenix, AZ, where I would spend some time working as an employee and Massage Lead, once more. Five years passed, and now I’m back in Yuma, going on my twelfth year of being a massage therapist.

My specialty when it comes to technique is a combination of myofascial release and trigger point therapy. Though I am perfectly capable of giving a relaxing Swedish massage, I feel that my work is most gratifying when I am able to help my clients release deeper tension for pain relief. At my last job, I was jokingly nicknamed “seek and destroy”.

I’m grateful to be a part of the team that makes up Vida Holistic Healing, and am thrilled to share the title “Best Place to Get a Massage in Yuma” for 2023!
