Being a massage therapist has exposed me to many opportunities to not only physically assist clients towards general wellbeing but also develop a bond with each individual based on their needs. I have experience with geriatric massage as well as working in an hospice setting. Assisting clients with self care and improving their quality of life no matter what their condition is has become a passion of mine aside from handcrafting natural products such as teas, herbal honey and detox baths. I've gained experience through my work as a massage therapist as well as assisting my own family in which my father has arthritis and stage 4 prostate cancer and my mother who suffered a stroke and has a bone fusing condition. I aim to create overall wellness for the mind, body and spirit through healthy eating, exercise, time out in the sun and mindful meditation.

It gives me a feeling of satisfaction to know I've helped or had a hand in someone's comfort. I've worked in Nursing Homes in all different levels of care, The VA, and home health.

Caregiving is something that has always come naturally to me. I started at the age of 11, visiting with residents in nursing homes , and now I work with individuals that prefer to stay in their own homes in the end of life. I have experience with alzhimers/dementia, diabetes, oxygen tanks, medication administration and cathaters. Grooming is my specialty and cleanliness is key. I treat my patients with kindness and respect just like with my own family. Keeping my patients happy, healthy, and comfortable is important to me. I am highly recommend by adult services for the elderly as well as hospice. I have wonderful references that can be provided by family, friends, and neighbors of my previous patients. With over 12 years of private duty caregiving under my belt, I have gained the knowledge needed to give eceptional care to your loved ones.

As long as I can remember, I have tried to help anyone in need. I think it's a true part of who I am. I have a compassionate heart and I care what others are feeling, needing and saying. I am passionate about people and their needs. I began as a babysitter when I was 14 years old. I am a mother of 6 children, three of which had special needs. In my early 30 s I began to volunteer for a widows group, where I learnt so much about the loneliness and the need for help in their homes and medical needs. I have always gravitated towards children, the hurting and the elderly, as experience has taught me to sympathize as well as empathize with each individual as a whole and I don't mind saying I often fall in love with each person I care for. People tell me that caring for others is just a job. To me, it's a life style. A true need, a necessity in a world that seems so cold. Caring for those that can not always help themselves, gives me a feeling of accomplishment and drives me to want to do more.
