My story...
Growing up, I always knew I wanted to find a career in the health field--especially in sports medicine. Life pulled me in a few different directions, but I eventually found my way to the massage therapy program at Northwestern Health Sciences University. It was exactly what I was looking for!

Upon graduating from NWHSU, I knew I wanted to be a part of something that encouraged and supported people to live healthy, active lifestyles. I began my career at Life Time Fitness where I became a part of an integral team of massage therapists and personal trainers who helped members achieve their wellness goals. Aside from working in a fitness setting, I also wanted to work in a health care setting. A few months after I started at Life Time Fitness, an opportunity to work in a holistic health care setting opened up. I jumped at the chance and became one of the massage therapists at Complete Chiropractic & Wellness.
After six years at Life Time Fitness, I decided it was time to take the leap and start my own practice. In addition to starting my own private practice, I also continue to practice at Complete Chiropractic & Wellness. When I’m not doing massage, I also work at my family’s restaurant in downtown St. Paul part-time.
Hobbies & Interests
In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, trying new restaurants, going to concerts and shows, cooking, working out, and traveling.
I have completed three full marathons: Twin Cities Marathon 2007, 2008, and 2009. I have also completed a few half-marathons: Rochester Half-marathon 2007 and the 13.1 Marathon Series- Minneapolis 2010 & 2011, & 2012 Minneapolis Half-Marathon. My three favorite races so far are the The Muddy Buddy (2007), Men’s Health Urbanathlon- Chicago (2010 & 2012), The Warrior Dash (2011 & 2012). They are SO MUCH FUN!! I've also done a bunch of 5K’s too. Besides racing, I also enjoy golfing, volleyball, and snowboarding.
