Owner, Licensed Massage Therapist

What excites you the most about the future of Ritual Massage & Bodywork? It would have to be seeing our therapists step into and become leaders, communicators and a comforting presence for our community.

What drew you to the field of massage therapy and what continues to inspire you? I had a few massages back in high school, as a three-sport athlete and I fell in love after my first session! Seeing the positive physical & emotional shift in my clients is what inspires me.

If you could tell your younger self ONE thing, what would it be? Enjoy being a kid, because “adulting” is extremely overrated.

When you're not using your amazing massage & bodywork skills, what do you enjoy doing? I’m currently 22 weeks pregnant with my second, so to be completely honest, I enjoy putting my feet up and catching up on a few TV series with my husband after the kids go to bed!

It is a calling and a fulfillment to serve others to help them relax and heal.

If you could tell your younger self ONE thing, what would it be? It would be to stop worrying so much about the future. To focus on God and the things He has for you in the now, because the future you imagined is nothing compared to where you are now. 

When you're not using your amazing massage & bodywork skills, what do you enjoy doing? I enjoy being out in nature, kayaking and hiking. I love to watch movies and to read. I also love to serve in the community, often volunteering at the Rockford Rescue Mission.

If you could tell your younger self ONE thing, what would it be? The road to becoming the best version of yourself unfolds naturally over time. Each step over time adds to your growth.

When you're not using your amazing massage & bodywork skills , what do you enjoy doing? I enjoy spending time in nature, finding solace and inspiration in the great outdoors. In addition to hiking, I enjoy books of various genres and absolutely love getting lost in a compelling TV series or documentary. Above all, I treasure the time spent with family. Their support and love are central to my happiness, and I value the moments of togetherness that remind me of the importance of creating lasting memories with those closest to me!
