The Genesis of New Beginnings Massage
The story of New Beginnings Massage is also the story of my life—one marked by resilience, faith, and the determination to create something lasting for my family and community. I started massage therapy out of necessity, with a simple goal: to build a stable and secure foundation for my daughters. What began as a way to provide for them quickly became so much more.
Working in a spa gave me my first experience in the field, but I quickly realized I was not a “spa therapist.” It was working alongside a local chiropractor that I discovered my true calling. There, I developed my skill and passion for therapeutic, results-driven bodywork.
At the same time, my own experiences as a survivor of trauma reshaped how I saw healing. I realized that real healing requires more than just technique—it demands safety, trust, and empowerment. I knew that if I was going to truly honor my faith and my clients, I had to build a practice grounded in those values.
The path was not easy. One thing that has always defined me is my thirst for knowledge. Whenever a client walked into my office with a new challenge, I dove into research and study until I could find a way to help them. I consider myself a forever student, always seeking out answers and refining my skills. This constant hunger to learn allows me to provide highly specialized, personal care for each client—meeting them where they are and tailoring my approach to their unique situation.
In my 13 years of massaging, I outgrew several offices. Each step forward came with its own fight to secure space, but those struggles built the foundation of what New Beginnings is today.
Now, New Beginnings Massage is more than just my practice—it’s the embodiment of perseverance and God’s grace. Every session is rooted in my belief that true strength and healing comes from Him. As a trauma-informed therapist, I carry this philosophy into my work, blending clinical skill with compassion and faith.
But the vision has grown beyond the massage table:
A Sanctuary for Massage Practitioners
I’ve created space for other like-minded, faith-based practitioners who are equally committed to trauma-informed care and Christ-centered values.
A Community Destination
Our location also serves as a welcoming place to gather, complete with a tea and coffee shop and artisan products from local creators.
To me, New Beginnings Massage is living proof that resilience, faith, and purpose can transform lives. It’s where clinical excellence meets compassionate, Christ-centered care—a safe place to begin again!
