I am passionate about writing, cultivating relationships, and helping people lead healthier lives through holistic bodywork. I have 9+ years experience in private practice as a licensed massage therapist, helping my clients heal from physical, mental, emotional stress, acute and chronic injuries so that they can enjoy life and focus on the things that are important to them. As an entrepreneur, I have consistently relied on my writing and marketing skills to grow and sustain my business through website, blog, and client newsletters channels. I strongly believe that business can and should be a force for positive change, and in 2015 I created and produced my first fundraising massage event to fight human trafficking in Seattle. Enlisting massage volunteers and soliciting auction items from Seattle’s holistic health community, I led a committee, We Knead You to raise $1,500 for BEST: Business Ending Slavery and Trafficking. I am exploring opportunities in teaching massage, leading workshops, retreats and more fundraising massage parties. Likewise, I am pursuing opportunities for employment with a company with shared values of health and wellness. Skills: Small business SEO marketing, Social Media management, Wordpress, Quickbooks, copywriting, editing and fundraising, deep tissue, myofascial release, thai-yoga massage, reiki, herbal infusions and homemade bodycare products
