Massage Education
Massage Therapists are heart-centered, servant-minded, and incredibly empathetic people. You deserve a training that holds space for your magic and teaches you how to harness it for good. I believe being a massage therapist is holding space for people as they meet their bodies. We must be able to think critically, communicate effectively, and stay centered.
This is not just reading information from a book or learning a fancy new technique. This is evolving into the therapist you are meant to become.

My Teaching Style & Philosophy
I’m not a formally trained educator. My journey began in massage school, where I completed an 18-month program and earned an Associate’s in Occupational Studies. Before that, I had some experience teaching—once on a month-long trip to China, and again as a youth teacher at my church.
When I applied for a massage therapy instructor position three years after graduating, I was learning on the fly. Luckily, one of the best parts of being a massage therapist is adaptability—whether it’s gracefully handling unexpected client behavior, shifting your schedule last-minute, or finding extra time to address that one stubborn knot. So, I adapted. And I started teaching.
The school I joined—and the incredible boss I had—gave me full freedom to dive into video trainings on teaching and curriculum development. I hyper-focused for months, learning about lesson planning, adult education, classroom management, and more. And I fell in love with the moment othat spark in a student’s eyes when something finally makes sense. That’s the magic for me.
I teach with inclusivity, clarity, and compassion. I invite questions and aim for communication that makes every student feel safe and seen. Adult learners need two things: repetition and recall. There’s never a stupid question—just another opportunity to explain things differently.
In my academy, we emphasize review, peer collaboration, and real support. My inbox is always open to former students who need help.
Teaching adults is challenging. Teaching massage therapists is nuanced. It’s about helping you get into your body so you can help others do the same.
I’m deeply passionate about this work, and incredibly grateful to do it.
