My Journey

Massage & Boat Tours

Tired of office politics and unhappy in a prior profession, I became a massage therapist to directly help people feel better. My own personal and professional journey opened up a world of wellness integrating body, mind and spirit. In 1999, I moved to Saranac Lake, working at a spa in Lake Placid. A fellow therapist described my body as "hard as a rock." Later at Cranial Sacral class, a teaching assistant told me, "you need a lot of work." Finally, a breakthrough moment came with Zero Balancing. After receiving my third Zero Balancing session, I felt held tension leave three quarters of my body. Wow, it was shocking, how much stress and tension my body unconsciously carried around. After two years of training, I completed the Zero Balancing Certification in 2008.
