The heart behind BreatheNow Massage

My approach to massage has always been about more than relaxation. I believe great bodywork starts with listening to- to you, to your goals, and to what your body is telling me.

I created BreatheNow Massage to offer a more personal kind of care: customized massage therapy delivered in the comfort of your own home. Whether you’re looking for relief from pain and tension, support with recovery, or simply time to slow down and breathe, every session is thoughtfully tailored to you.

My goal is simple: for you to feel genuinely cared for, understood, and better than you did before I arrived.

Long before becoming a massage therapist, I was fascinated by the way the human body moves, performed, and recovers.

As a former Division I Cross Country and Track athlete, i experienced firsthand how much the body can be asked to do - and how important the right recovery and care can be. That passion led me to earn my Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science and spend more than four years working in physical therapy before becoming a licensed massage therapist.

Today, I bring the experience into every session. I don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all massage. I look at how your body moves, where you’re holding tension, what may be contributing to discomfort, and what approach makes the most sense for you.

Built on Movement. Grounded in Care.

It’s not about where it hurts. It’s about understanding the body as a whole.

BreatheNow began during a chapter of my life when I finally understood what it felt like to truly breathe again.

That feeling became the inspiration behind the name - and eventually, the experience I wanted to create for others.

Life can be busy, demanding, and constantly moving. BreatheNow is an invitation to slow down, let go, and give yourself permission to simply be present.

By bringing personalized massage therapy directly to your home, my goal is to create a space where you can step away from everything else for a little while, relax deeply, and simply breathe now.

Because sometimes, taking care of yourself starts with giving yourself permission to stop.
