Happy New Year: 2019 in Review

Hope you had a wonderful holiday season and are ready for a joyous New Year.  I was reflecting on the past year and all the people and opportunities I’ve been blessed to share, and thought I’d share some of my favorite bodywork memories, experiences, and milestones.

Cheers to a new year and a wonderful 2020!
Earned Personal Training Certification In October, I officially completed my Personal Training Certification with the International Sport Sciences Association (ISSA).  I’m so fascinated by the body in all facets, I’m also taking a Strength & Conditioning and a Nutrition Coach certification course to continue rounding out my comprehensive bodywork practice.  Why not, right!?

Interested in taking your fitness to the next level?  Consider scheduling a training session in the new year!  Let’s define your goals and create a fitness plan towards success, whether it’s strength gain or weight loss or beyond; I’m here to help.  Contact me and let’s schedule your 1st training session in the new year!
Started @ Burke Williams, Mission Viejo in May I gotta say, I didn’t know what to expect.  Was worried it might be too-spa-like for me, but I’ve really come to enjoy the people I work with and the company.  I’m only there a few small shifts a week, but it’s going well and I certainly don’t mind the free massages for the therapists on staff.
New Events Around Southern California From Irvine to Carlsbad to Canoga Park, I was meeting new people all over the Southern California area.  Whether it was a Brain & Body setup at farmers markets or being brought on for corporate chair/appreciation days, had a blast delivering relief and relaxation with the ol’ massage chair.

Have an event, party, or fundraiser coming up?  Or ready to surprise your staff with a relaxing spa day at work?  Contact me for availability and pricing!  Always up for bringing massage to fun environments.
Celebrated 2 Years @ Encino StudioI can’t believe it’s been over two years at my space in Encino.  Time flies when you’re having fun at work.  Like they say, when you love what you do, you never work a day in your life.  Here’s to another many years, and many thanks to my massage-partner-in-crime, Josh King.
