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!

What excites you the most about working for Ritual Massage & Bodywork? I’m excited about joining an amazing team of women who are focused on helping other women in their wellness journey. 

What drew you to the field of massage therapy and what continues to inspire you? I was drawn to massage therapy because I love holistic alternative medicine. I love working one on one with people as well as working with my hands. I have been a therapist for ten years, and I still love what I do. 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.

What excites you the most about working for Ritual Massage & Bodywork?

I'm most excited to be part of a team that truly values intention, healing, and genuine connection. The energy of Ritual is something I felt right away, and I'm grateful to contribute to a space that emphasizes quality care for both guests and practitioners. 

What drew you to the field of massage therapy and what continues to inspire you?

I was drawn to massage therapy through my own healing journey- both physical and emotional. What continues to inspire me is seeing how small, thoughtful moments in a session can create a deep sense of relief and renewal for someone. That kind of impact never stops motivating me. I'm looking to build a practice rooted in genuine commitment to client care, and I'm eager to bring my expertise and dedication to enhancing the health and relaxation of every guest I work with.

If you could tell your younger self ONE thing, what would it be?

You are stronger than you think, and the things that make you sensitive will one day be your greatest gifts.

When you're not using your amazing massage & bodywork skills, what do you enjoy doing?

Outside of work, I love spending quality time with my boyfriend, my cat "Kittyboy," and my family and friends. I enjoy cooking, staying active through workouts and yoga, getting outside in nature, and unwinding with a good video game. Balance and joy in my personal life help me stay grounded and energized in my professional work.
