"Start each day with a grateful heart."

Helping people feel better isn't just my career—it's my passion. After years of working as a massage therapist, I understand firsthand what therapists need to thrive. That's why I've made it my mission to create a workplace built on respect, support, and excellence. When therapists feel valued and empowered, they're able to provide the highest level of care, and our clients experience the difference.

At HTMS, my goal has always been to build more than just a massage practice. I want every client to feel welcomed, cared for, and genuinely listened to, while creating a team culture where therapists can grow, love what they do, and take pride in the care they provide.

Thank you for trusting us with your health and wellness. It is truly an honor to be part of your journey.

Licensed Massage Therapist

I believe the best care supports the whole person—body, mind, and spirit. I especially enjoy Swedish massage, hot stone services, facials, and creating customized experiences that encourage deep relaxation and natural balance. My approach is intuitive, present, and compassionate. Whether you are seeking relief from stress and tension or simply need time to reconnect with yourself, my goal is for you to leave feeling grounded, restored, and truly cared for. Self-care is not a luxury; it is a necessity.​​​​

I have been a Licensed Massage Therapist since 2005 and bring a background in occupational therapy and mental health care to my work. My experience includes deep tissue, trigger-point therapy, reflexology, Thai techniques, sports massage, pain management, injury recovery, prenatal and postnatal massage, Swedish massage, and spa treatments. I take a client-centered approach and have a special passion for supporting healing and recovery for those affected by trauma, PTSD, and mental health challenges. Yoga, meditation, and dance help keep me grounded and focused in both life and my work.

I chose massage therapy because it brings together two things I have always cared deeply about: helping people and holistic wellness. I love seeing the progress clients make over time and building relationships based on trust and personalized care. My goal is to create a comfortable session that supports what your body needs that day. I look forward to meeting you and being part of your wellness journey.

I have been part of the Ellis County health and wellness community since 2017. My interest in holistic care began when my father was diagnosed with dementia at only 50 years old, an experience that inspired me to learn more about ways to support the body naturally. I am passionate about helping clients better understand their lymphatic systems and creating individualized sessions using Lymphatic Enhancement Technology.

Hi! I’m a Waxahachie native and currently attend Navarro College, where I’m studying nursing while also working toward becoming a Licensed Massage Therapist. I feel incredibly fortunate to be part of such a wonderful team and to continue learning more about health and wellness.

Outside of work and school, I enjoy movie nights, spending time with friends and family, and relaxing with my two basset hounds and my cat. And if I have a little free time, there’s a good chance you’ll find me taking a nap!

Hello! I'm from Waxahachie and attend Navarro College to continue my studies in Elementary  Education. I'm new to the health and wellness world, but I'm so grateful to have the best mentors surrounding and teaching me along the way. Outside of school and wellness, I love spending time with my friends, reading a good book, and of course, cuddling with my purrfect cat, Willow. I'm so excited for this chapter and all the memories to come!
