More About Me!

​

I have always felt a deep calling to help people feel better—even from a young age. Connection through touch has always come naturally to me, so finding my path into massage therapy felt less like a career choice and more like coming home.

​

The name Transformative Journeys Therapeutic Bodywork may be a bit of a mouthful, but it truly reflects the heart of my work and the intention behind what I offer. Healing is rarely just physical—it is a journey of reconnecting with yourself, creating awareness, and supporting change from the inside out.

​

Although the desire to do this work was always there, it took me until 2014, at the age of 28, to fully step into this path. I graduated from Ivy Tech Community College in 2017 with an Associate of Applied Science in Therapeutic Massage, and my work has continued to evolve ever since.

​

As I learned the art and science of bodywork, I also found myself navigating my own healing journey. That experience deepened not only my understanding of the body, but also my compassion and passion for helping others move through their own seasons of healing, growth, and transformation.

​​​

Over time, my work naturally expanded beyond traditional bodywork into more intuitive and holistic modalities. Alongside hands-on therapeutic work, I also offer intuitive guidance through tarot, oracle, and astrology-based readings. These tools are not meant to predict or “tell someone who they are,” but rather to create deeper self-awareness, reflection, validation, and connection during periods of growth and transition.

​

In early 2026, I also launched the Transformative Talks podcast as an extension of this mission. The podcast was created to explore healing, body awareness, nervous system regulation, holistic wellness, spirituality, personal growth, and the many layers of the human experience through authentic conversations and education. What began as a desire to have deeper conversations within the wellness community has continued to grow into a platform for connection, empowerment, and learning.

​

As both my personal journey and business continue to evolve, so does my vision for Transformative Journeys. In addition to one-on-one services, I am passionate about expanding into educational workshops, wellness events, classes, collaborative community spaces, and resources that empower people to better understand themselves and their bodies.

At the core of my work is the belief that healing is not about “fixing” yourself—it’s about learning to listen, adapt, and support your body with more compassion and awareness.
