My Credentials

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB)

Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork is the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can obtain within the profession—it is above and beyond entry level state licensure. By becoming Board Certified, I represent a community of therapists who have gone above standard educational and work experience requirements with a dedicated and lifelong commit to continuing education. Furthermore, I live up to higher standards and ethics in alignment with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).

To achieve my Board Certification, I provided proof of a minimum of 750 hours of education, 250 hours of professional, hands-on work experience, passed a criminal background check, agreed to uphold NCBTMB's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, and passed the Board Certification Exam. By passing the BCETMB and meeting all requirements, I demonstrate advanced assessment and critical thinking skills, as well as a commitment to excellence. I wear the credentials BCTMB with pride for myself, my profession, and, most importantly, my clients.

Ohio Medical Board

I am licensed through the Ohio Medical board and have national recognition.  I have had the pleasure of being a massage therapist for over sixteen years.  During this time I have honed my craft and have helped a range of people from the elderly, clients who had an injury from work or accidents, to people suffering from chronic conditions.  I have worked in spas as well as medical settings. 

Please reach out and we can discuss your massage requirements.  There is no obligation to have a pre-client intake.  I do not believe in pressure tactics and will tell you if I do not believe we are a good fit.  I pride myself in my clients reaching their massage goal and offering an affordable experience.

Reiki Master

I became a Reiki Master under the mentorship of Carol Spears.  She is the person who was responsible for initially setting up the Reiki clinic at the Cleveland Clinic.  My Reiki lineage is Usui Shiki Ryoho.  I have been practicing Reiki since 2006.             

Also offer Crystal Reiki, which incorporates crystals into the session that are chosen specifically for you.
