Hello

I grew up on a small farm downstate in Millington and was adopted at the age of 12. Throughout my life, I've had various jobs, including working at different doctors' offices. After a meaningful encounter with a friend who needed a specific massage, I decided to attend massage therapy school to offer help. I established my own business, which was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Subsequently, I worked at Serendipity Wellness Spa in Frankenmuth, MI, where I learned new techniques like body wraps, hot stones, towels, and scrubs. Unfortunately, an accident affected my ability to perform massages. I then transitioned to instructing Massage Therapy at Bayshire Academy in Bay City, MI, and worked with a chiropractor in the same city. Teaching was fulfilling as I witnessed students progress from learning about bones and muscles to mastering massage techniques. 

I relocated to Traverse City because my husband, after 25 years, had a job change. In July of 2023, we moved here with our youngest son and two dogs.

We have three other children:

 

• Our eldest son and his wife, married for nearly 11 years, have two dogs and a cat.

• Our second son is engaged to a lovely woman whom we have happily embraced. They also have a dog and a cat.

• Our daughter and her husband, married for over two years, have blessed us with our first grandchild, who is the joy of our lives. They also have two dogs.
