“Being a competitive swimmer for the majority of my life, I am continually working on identifying and treating muscle imbalances in athletes, gym goers and everyday people. Throughout my collegiate swimming career at the University of Georgia, I was partnered with many massage therapists and trainers which sparked my interest in healing nature of massage therapy. The amazing way their techniques relieved my muscles and kept me in peak athletic condition is what inspired me to help others through the power of massage.”
