Ataraxis: (noun) The absence of mental stress or anxiety.

I grew up on a small hobby farm in Trempealeau, Wisconsin. I graduated from G-E-T High School in 1999. I found my passion for helping people while working at a nursing home and I realized that many of the residents could benefit from massage. As I expanded my knowledge and realized that so many people could benefit from massage I enrolled in the Salon and Massage Professional Academy and graduated with a Licensed Massage Therapy degree in 2005. I worked at a local Salon and Spa for 10 years before opening my own practice in 2015. In my massage journey Ive had the amazing and humbling experience to travel to Thailand where I learned the traditional Thai Massage that I use in my practice today. My love for elephants grew even more as I was able to spend time at a sanctuary for forgotten or abused elephants. Constantly learning new techniques and self care is very important to me.
