She seeks out energetic blockages in the body and trys to alleviate them to allow the energy within to flow more freely; as well as replenishing the body's energy stores. When people leave her room smiling, relaxed and refreshed... life is good.
In her free time she likes to do things with her family. Kayaking, cooking, or just making memories.
