ABOUT ME

Let's rewind the clocks for a moment, shall we? It’s the year 2020 – I found myself in a job that didn't quite resonate with me, and truth be told, the feeling was mutual. So, during my downtime, I began exploring my options. Should I polish up my resume and send it out into the job market again, hoping for a better fit? Or perhaps I could venture into the world of traditional college, with a large possibility of accumulating a fair amount of student debt.

Then, trade schools caught my eye, and among them, massage therapy stood out. Intrigued, I attended a meet and greet at a massage school, and before I knew it, I was hooked. The art of massage fascinated me – the ability to alleviate discomfort and provide relief to others through the application of precise pressure and technique. Witnessing the transformation from tension to tranquility in my clients reaffirmed that I was on the right path.

It was during my time in massage school that I discovered a particular passion for supporting expecting mothers. The journey of pregnancy, while beautiful, can take a toll on the body, and being able to offer these soon-to-be mothers a moment of respite brought me immense satisfaction. And so, for nearly three years now, I've dedicated myself to specializing in prenatal massage.

While practicing as a licensed massage therapist, it became evident to me that new mothers required more than just physical relief. While I could address their physical well-being, I couldn't overlook their emotional and mental needs. I felt compelled to take further action. This led me back to the classroom, where I pursued specialized training to become a birth and postpartum doula.

Yet, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was a gap in the market – a lack of a single destination catering to the diverse needs of mothers and expectant mothers alike. And so, Mommie & Me was born.

Mommie & Me aims to be the ultimate hub for mothers at every stage of their journey – whether they're new moms, long-time moms, expecting moms, or soon-to-be moms. The services are designed to offer relief across multiple phases of motherhood – pre-pregnancy, during pregnancy, and after pregnancy.

At Mommie & Me, moms of all stages can find solace through my range of massage and doula services. It's my mission to provide support that nurtures the mind and body of every mother who walks through my doors.

Became mama to Thomas in February of 2025!
