From Pain to Purpose
I didn't start my career in massage therapy by accident. I started it because I experienced firsthand what it's like to live with chronic pain—and what it feels like to finally be free of it.
After my own major pain issues were resolved through skilled bodywork, I had a realization: How many other people are out there suffering, believing they have to live with pain forever? How many have tried everything—doctors, chiropractors, physical therapists, medications, generic massages, heating pads—without finding real relief?
That question became my mission.
I see it every day in my practice: clients who come to me after exhausting every other option. They've been to specialists, undergone treatments, followed protocols—yet they're still in pain. They've nearly given up hope. That's when they find their way to me.
I entered the field of massage therapy determined to do things differently. Not just to make people feel good for an hour, but to actually solve their pain at the source. To give them hope. To show them they don't have to accept debilitating pain as part of their life.
Why Pain and Posture Solutions Exists
When I started practicing…
I saw a gap in the industry. There was a lot of "rubbing what hurts" without people actually improving. Clients would come back week after week with the same issues because no one was asking why the pain existed in the first place.
I knew there had to be a better way.
That's why I founded Pain and Posture Solutions—to provide the level of care I wish had been available to me when I was struggling. To bridge the gap between temporary relief and lasting transformation.
My Philosophy
It's Not Just About Where It Hurts
Pain is your body's way of communicating that something isn't right and it needs to be addressed right away.
But here's the thing: where you feel pain often isn't where the problem actually is. This isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
Every body is different, and your treatment plan should reflect that.
Assess
I start by understanding your body's unique structure and identifying the true source of your pain—not just treating symptoms.
Address
Using specialized techniques like Myofascial Release, Neuromuscular Therapy, and Myoskeletal Alignment, I work to correct the root cause of your pain.
Empower
I equip you with stretches, exercises, and knowledge so you can maintain your results long-term and prevent pain from returning. That’s always my main goal is to keep you pain-free.
