Since I was a child I have been interested in the human structure. I dreamed of becoming a doctor. At the age of nine years old, a sudden death of my beloved Father and Mentor, financial difficulties, was unable to attain. Almost half a century later, one of my sons, was diagnosed with over 50 degree “Thoracic Scoliosis”. This became a question to where we must make a decision to have a major surgery or find alternative treatment. Our son decided to go for alternative treatment. It was at these treatments that my son said to me “mom I believe you can help me rather than to take me to all the therapy”. Deep in my soul, I heard my son and perhaps he is right. I searched for an institute or a school that can facilitate the knowledge and training I need to help him. When our heart and energy moves to a higher intentions it will manifest. My childhood passion in the human structure came into the forefront. I quit my multiple jobs and I pursued my dream. I acquired a “License to Touch” also called Licensed Massage Therapist since 2006. This license is a umbrella to pursue a specialized modalities for alternative therapy. I chose to focus in helping someone that has Chronic and Acute Pain. To search for this specialized training was a blind faith that “it’s out there”. To select and study a specific modalities can be frustrating because 99% of all the training that’s offered focuses only from the neck on down to the feet. Bypassing the head and or (The Cranial).
I was determined to seek out a one of a kind training in this profession. After a long search, my journey has begun. I found Structural Energetic Therapy (SET)Cranial, Structural, Fascia and Kinesiology). But to commit to a long years of training I must experience the treatment. It was very profound to me! My first Cranial treatment was the moment of so called “too good to be true” moment. A confirmation that this treatment is one of a kind..!*
Also, during my years of studying, I was privileged to work with Special Needs Children such as ..autism, spina bifida and so on..
I am honored and humbled to acquired this training and I hope to share and help anyone that are willing to “Live Life Pain Free".

I am able to utilize a comprehensive skill set with individuals looking for rehabilitation from acute and chronic pain. I have honed my abilities over the last 10 years in rehabilitative bodywork and specific cranial manipulations.
My goal of becoming a therapist was completed through advanced training at Structural Energetic Therapy® (SET) Institute in Lutz, Florida immediately after graduating from massage trade school. Truly, I am a walking testimonial as the therapy I studied there had previously helped me with my own ailments.
I was diagnosed with the shingles at the age of 15 and its placement directly impacted facial mobility in the left side of my face, resulting in paralysis. My family and I, especially my mother, dedicated our time and efforts to find a therapy that could help when doctors could do little more. Paralysis greatly affected my quality of life and after three years of living with dysfunction, a solution was found. With continued SET treatments I was able to regain at least eighty percent of mobility, after I was told by doctors I would never smile again! I was so moved by my experience, I became a therapist and continue to share my dedication and passion for bodywork with others to help them achieve their optimal functional level.
