About
I am a licensed massage therapist and a registered nurse who started my healthcare career journey back in Europe more than 10 years ago. With a desire to expand my career horizons and explore new opportunities, I made the bold decision to move to the United States. Recognizing the value of further education and qualifications, I dedicated myself to acquiring the necessary credentials in my new home. I immersed myself in the rigorous curriculum, honing my skills, and embracing the unique approaches and techniques prevalent in the American healthcare system. My commitment to excellence led me to successfully complete an associate degree nursing program at William Rainey Harper College in Illinois, then later earning a valuable bachelor's degree in nursing from Western Governors University. This achievement not only solidified my knowledge of medical practices but also deepened my understanding of holistic care and patient well-being.
Simultaneously, I pursued my passion for massage therapy, undertaking specialized training at Allied Health Career Institute, then transferred to the reputable massage school Washington Spa Academy from where I earned the essential credits for obtaining a Washington State massage license. By obtaining my massage license, I demonstrated my expertise in various massage modalities and my dedication to providing exceptional care to my clients. The fusion of my European roots and American education has endowed our me with a comprehensive skill set and a diverse range of techniques. I seamlessly integrate my knowledge of nursing practices and my expertise in massage therapy, offering a truly holistic and personalized approach to healing.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I ask about goal of the session, health history, current taken medication, allergies, any recent injuries, or illnesses. I ask about any painful or tense spots, location, intensity, duration etc. I ask if the client received a massage before and inform what to expect, inform that the modesty is always respected, and only the area being worked will be unwrapped and they will be between the sheets and kept comfortable. I ask about the preferred pressure and if there are any areas that the client wants me to avoid like (feet, abdomen, face, or scalp).

How did you get started in this business?
Over a decade ago, I embarked on an exciting adventure in Europe, diving headfirst into the massage therapy industry. It was an experience like no other, but life had different plans for me. When I moved to the United States, my focus shifted towards nursing school, which I had also started in Europe. However, deep down, I couldn't ignore the longing to heal people through the power of touch.The sadness of not being able to practice massage therapy in the States gnawed at me. That's when I made a life-changing decision. I resolved to put myself through school once again, obtaining the necessary credentials to practice my beloved craft in this new land. And so, my journey continued.But why stop there? As a mother of two precious little girls, I craved flexibility in my work schedule. Kids have a knack for falling sick at the most inconvenient times, don't they? That's why I took the bold step of opening a mobile massage business. Now, I can provide healing and care to those in need, right from the comfort of their own homes.Not being tied down to a physical location allows me to prioritize what truly matters: the well-being of my clients. Gone are the worries of rent and overhead costs for a studio. Instead, I focus on delivering the highest quality of service possible, because I firmly believe that quality always triumphs over quantity.So, if you're seeking a massage experience that goes beyond the ordinary, look no further. Let me bring the healing touch to you, in the convenience of your own home. Join me on this remarkable journey, where passion and compassion intertwine, and together, we can create a world of wellness and serenity.
