About Me

In 2005 when I was looking at the prospect of an empty nest I realized I would be able to focus on what I wanted to do for myself. I reviewed past dreams and desires that would help me transition toward retirement. I attempted to join the Peace Corps which ended up being a dead end and then remembered that I had interest in massage therapy. I enrolled at Oklahoma Health Academy in 2006 and completed a 930 hour course program in 2007. I didn't give up my day job until early 2015 while I attempted to build my practice. I was in the same location from September 2007 through November of 2021. It is with a heavy heart that I am leaving what has been my business home since 2007. We lost Turner Primrose in the spring of 2018 and his lovely wife Marcene followed in the fall of 2019. Their children finally found a buyer for the building who will not retain any of the remaining tenants. The building was purchased by Turner Primrose in 1971 before the ADA Act was signed by President Reagan. It will be gutted and renovated to bring it up to ADA codes. I look forward to seeing what the new owners do with the Primrose Building. I am very grateful that they were able to find me a suitable location among their other rental properties to provide me with the room I have grown use to. I am looking forward to seeing my loyal clients and new clients in my new space. The big plus with my new location is that my clients will now have easy parking, the one downside to the Primrose building. I am still located in the downtown area of Norman among a diverse group of professionals.

I am a Board Certified Therapist, meaning I took the National Certification Board for Massage Therapy and Bodywork proficiency exam and have maintained my certification with this board. I am a professional member of the American Massage Therapy Association. I have been a volunteer on many levels with the local AMTA-OK Chapter. My biggest accomplishment with the AMTA-OK Chapter is sitting as Government Relations Chair to help facilitate professional licensing of massage therapy. In May 2016 Governor Fallin signed into law SB 687 'Massage Therapy Practice Act'. Oklahoma now requires licensing of massage therapists. Our governing board started licensing in January 2017, so I can now use the designation LMT along with CMT and BCTMB. I am passionate about the benefits of massage therapy and the need for a proper education.

With each massage I seek to identify and assist my clients with issues that create stress and pain in their everyday life. There are many different types of massage that one can receive and it is important for consumers of massage to be educated in the differences. If I volunteer as a massage therapists at a sports event the techniques used will be tailored to the event. If you make an appointment to see me in my office I will tailor my techniques to create a unique therapeutic massage for you.

I am available by appointment only, I will accommodate your schedule if possible. My philosophy is to approach each massage as an individual and spiritual experience, to help clients balance their mind, body and soul. I hope to help clients find a way to take their health and well-being back into their hands.
