Like fine wine I get better with age!  I have been in the beauty  industry for 43 years. I have been a licensed Cosmetology Instructor since 1984. I first trained as a massage therapist in 1989, and became licensed in NC in the Fall of 2007.  Additionally, I am certified in Reiki, and microdermabrasion. I have had hours of training and experience in spa services including reflexology, aromatherapy, body wraps, facials, European manicures and pedicures. I still love hairstyling!

I am an ordinary sixty-two years old and have been given a second chance at life. I had a near death experience 12 yeas ago as the result of critical injuries received in an auto accident. The healing process has been very difficult.  I've had numerous surgeries; eye, back, gastric bypass, rotator cuff, dupuytren’s contraction, carpal tunnel and also a great deal of physical therapy. My eyes have to be corrected so that I look normal and my brain has adapted so that 99% of the time I no longer have double vision. I have developed bone spurs (osteoarthritis) because of the injuries, and I still have a little memory loss.  But, I have been healed of diabetes, my blood pressure is under control, I've lost over 100 pounds, my leg and foot have most of the feeling back, and I continue to heal daily. Learning has been wonderful for my injured brain.  With much hard work, study, and prayer I have maintained an excellent GPA and became a massage therapist. The most remarkable healing that I have received is my appreciation of life. I am so very thankful to be able to see, walk, breath, learn, love and especially to be able to help others heal. Having experienced so much pain, I relate easily to others in their sickness and suffering.  God has blessed me with a compassionate heart and a healing touch.  I'm so very thankful to be alive.

I am a wonderful massage therapist, a cosmetologist and enjoy performing all spa services.  They seem to be healing to my spirit as well as to those receiving them. This is the path I am to pursue to enhance my life’s mission. I am able to lay hands on others and help with their pain and to lower their stress. It is a physically challenging career, but is performed at a soothing and healing pace. With the many years of life’s experiences, I have so much to offer in the spa and massage setting. My desire is for my life to continue to be worthwhile. My purpose is to do the Lord’s work by helping others. I have so much to offer and am so grateful to be able to do.
