A Sanctuary for Restoration
The Heart of Monarch Massage
I’ve always been a healer at heart. Caring for others isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am.
I’m a mother of four, and for over 23 years I’ve worked as a respiratory therapist, supporting patients through some of their most vulnerable and critical moments. That work shaped me in profound ways and deepened my commitment to helping people feel safe, supported, and cared for.
​
Earlier in my journey, I spent several years immersed in birth work as a midwifery assistant, birth doula, and childbirth educator. Being part of such a powerful and transformative time in people’s lives was an incredible experience, and it continues to influence how I care for my clients today.
Over time, I felt called to shift away from the fast-paced, high-stress environment of bedside care and move toward something more intentional, calming, and restorative—for both myself and the people I serve. Massage therapy became that path.
​
My goal is simple: to create a space where you can slow down, breathe deeply, and reconnect with your body. Whether you’re carrying stress, pain, or just the weight of everyday life, I’m here to help you feel better—physically, mentally, and emotionally.
This work is more than a service to me. It’s a continuation of a lifelong calling to heal.
