I was born and raised in Naperville. After attending North Central College where I earned a degree in Psychology, I moved to Chicago seeking to expand my experiences. I worked in social services doing counseling but found this wasn't the right fit for me. I then worked as a meeting planner which utilized my detail-oriented skills and offered me the chance to travel. Although I was succeeding in this line of work, I knew it wasn't my life's passion.

After some soul-searching, I found my way to the Chicago School of Massage Therapy and my whole life changed! Attending massage school gave me a new way to approach myself, my life, my relationships, and my career.

I have been a full-time massage therapist for over 14 years now and I love going to work everyday! I find it very rewarding. The reciprocal nature of massage appeals to me - the more I give, the more I receive.

In 2001, I moved back to Naperville where I enjoy spending time with my husband, Jay, when he's not busy with his pizza shop - Uncle Pete's Pizza. I also love going out to eat or baking my own creations, seeing live music, and going into Chicago. I practice mindful meditation which helps keep me grounded and able to handle life calmly. I also enjoy hanging out with my two cats - Paco and PJ.

Meditation helps us knit all the parts of ourselves together.
