I love to sail and fish. I first decided to become a massage therapist when I received my first one. I felt that this was the perfect career for me. I soon enrolled into Jacksonville School of Massage Therapy. I have worked for Doctors and Chiropractors since 1998 mostly in the Jacksonville area. I recently started with the Pain Relief Centre which I love. Everyone here loves their job of helping people get well with an added bonus of team work and that is the kind of atmosphere I thrive on.

- I grew up on Long Island with a large family. At holidays, I would always be walking around the dinner table, giving my family massages. It’s no surprise I should end up here. The exchange between patient and therapist is very important to me and I relish those moments. Even though my origins are in business and marketing, I use my previous experience everyday. It has been a journey that has made stops as a volunteer firefighter and EMT a train to end stroke marathon runner and fundraiser and now a massage therapist for the very office where I was a patient. I look forward to seeing where this road leads.
