My Story
In 1991 I was going through a career change not knowing what to do next in life. I happened to see an ad in the paper (long time ago!) for working with an essential oil company. I applied and got the job where I worked for a few months. Talking with massage therapists ordering products I would hear them talk about how rewarding their work was so I decided to go to massage school. The first month of school a classmate loaned me a book called “The Inner Physician and You” by Dr. John Upledger, the founder of CranioSacral Therapy - and I was instantly hooked. I have continued to practice, study and love Craniosacral Therapy ever since. My hands, mind and spirit love this work.

Fun Facts About Me
Since moving to St. Peter in 2020 I have been auditing various classes at Gustavus and have developed friendships with several of the students and a professor which I enjoy a lot. I love walking on campus, in the Arboretum, using the library, attending the Nobel Conference. It’s a wonderful resource right here in St. Peter.
