Hi! I’m so happy you’re here. I’m the founder of Natura Bodywork Collective and I’ve been a professional licensed massage therapist since 2013. I went to The Colorado Institute of Massage Therapy in Colorado Springs. I received an extensive certification in Neuromuscular Therapy. After graduating that program, I worked for a Neuromuscular Therapy specific office and learned all I could over a span of several years. I then continued my love for education and dove deep into several forms of myofascial release, including barefoot massage (Ashiatsu).

I fell hard for Ashiatsu for it’s fascial engagement capabilities. I practiced for six years, leading me to create what is now our In Motion Mat session. With my constant need to learn more, I became certified in instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, and myofascial cupping.

Recently I’ve immersed myself with corrective movement, especially for women. As a mama myself who’s battled muscular dysfunction due to the nature of pregnancy. I understand how frustrating it can feel when your body isn’t meeting it’s optimal potential. I’m a Certified Personal Trainer and I’ve completed my Corrective Exercise Specialist certification through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, Dr. Sarah Duvall’s Pregnancy & Postpartum CES, and most recently her Pelvis Pro certification. Along with those, I’m trained in Lagree Fitness on the megaformer, and I cannot wait to bring this to my clients.

I want to give women especially a safe space to feel comfortable in re-educating their bodies.

When I’m not doing what I love at Natura, I’m most certainly outside doing something with my family and two huskies. Hiking, biking, kayaking, horseback riding, it’s our self care. I’m also constantly working at my own mobility and how I can better my overall function. I’m a big believer in practicing what I preach to my clients.

Enough about me, I want to hear about you!
