I bring more than two decades of experience as a massage therapist, educator, and business owner to bear on the challenges that face those who are starting on their journey or who have stalled on the way.

My desire is to help others elevate their experience as a practitioner and/or business owner.

It took me years to begin to understand that I was lacking important tools that would help me feel more grounded in all aspects of my work. I was lucky enough to learn and then put into practice some fundamental ways of approaching leadership that have changed my relationship to all aspects of work, so that I can do what I love for as long as possible.

Consulting & Mentorship

---

I offer business consulting for . . .

Small business professionals just getting started, particularly in the field of wellness. You have the space, you have the vision, you’re getting ready to open or have already opened, but you need feedback, guidance, and support.
 
Visionaries and entrepreneurs with ideas they want to execute, but who feel stuck or fearful about taking the first steps. You have a great idea, you’re excited, and you want to begin the process of decision making, but you haven’t signed a lease yet.
 
Wellness providers struggling with boundaries, impostor syndrome, client retention, feelings of overwhelm and/or lack of clarity about their abilities. You have opened your business with a great idea and intention but find managing people and daily operations overwhelming. You didn’t know it would be this hard or this lonely, and you need some support.

I offer practical mentorship for . . .

Early-career massage therapists (up to three years of experience)* who would like to learn more about embodiment, deep listening, client retention, skill refinement, and how to build a successful career in bodywork. This will feature both discussion and hands-on skill coaching. You will advance your skill and client-management tools in a way that sets you apart and makes you more employable or more successful in private practice.

*If you have more than three years of experience but feel that you would benefit from this, feel free to reach out!

Whether mentoring or consulting, my style is to tailor our time together to your specific needs and remain fluid in case other things come up for you through the process of working together. I use calm, clear communication and always keep a sense of humor about things.

Classes & Speaking

Guest Speaker for Massage Schools
Massage students nearing graduation are anxious to succeed and hungry for information. I speak to students at this stage to add real-world context to things they may be learning in school and cover others they may not be learning. Talks can focus on predetermined topics (client retention and effective communication are popular) or lean more toward an open Q&A structure, led by whatever is most weighing on students' minds. Either way, the time is jam-packed with value, and students leave feeling more knowledgeable and confident. I work with instructors to ensure students are prepared so they can get the most out of it. I've done this many times and enjoy it so much I offer it at a special low rate!

ABOUT ME

Since becoming an LMT in 1999, I have taught classes and given presentations at Tucson’s renowned Desert Institute of the Healing Arts, as well as the Providence Institute, the Arizona School of Integrative Studies (ASIS), the Cortiva Institute, and Balance Massage School of Vermont.

I’ve been in private practice since 2001, excepting a brief stint as the vice-president of a tech startup focused on online profiles and scheduling for LMTs—a position that helped me develop strengths that I’ve carried through to today: connecting with, listening to, and learning how to support massage therapists struggling to build a business.

I started Rooted Integrative Wellness in 2013 with an idea that has since become my motto: Community Creates Abundance. I believe that, while everyone’s idea of community may be different, it is undeniable that we need support from people in order to succeed. That’s why, for years, I have offered this kind of support to practitioners at Rooted in the form of coaching, mentoring, and workshops.
