On the other side of the labyrinth of 30 years of life experience, is me here telling whoever you, the reader, are, about how and why I’m here and who I am, briefly.

I grew up and did the childhood thing of course, then went to college and earned a Bachelor’s degree in accounting in 2016. I never sought an accounting job, however. I worked in restaurants, traveled to Australia, returned home, worked in more restaurants and coffee shops. I did landscaping, gardening, window repairs, and whatever odd jobs I felt like taking on. During all of this I was seeking more, sometimes very deliberately, most of the time my seeking was quite subliminal. I hadn’t a clue what I wanted, what life was to me, who I wanted to be. My family was as supportive as they knew how to be. I had no idea how to support myself, as an adolescent or young adult. I probably would have benefited from some other kind of support, some form of therapy. But I’ve always found what I needed eventually, sometimes in unsuspecting places. I’ll even say that some poor habits and distractions supported me for a short while, until they didn’t anymore, until I was ready to heal.

As an ode to all that has supported me in my life, I feel called to pay that forward in supporting others. I know I have a strong gift in supporting others, massage therapy is where I am beginning.
