I started Feel the Knead Self Care in 2015. After years falling in and out of exercise programs, mostly out, as I was larger and unhealthier than I wanted to be(~300 pounds). I started Crossfit, and through it learned of the benefits of massage and "rolling out" on foam rollers and lacrosse balls. A thirst for more knowledge about self-massage and therapy inspired me to further my research, and through that research, found Jill Miller and Yoga Tune Up®. After being certified as a YTU instructor in 2015, I founded Feel the Knead Self Care with a passion for helping people from all walks of life take ownership of their bodies by teaching them the self care techniques he had used so successfully himself.
Never being satisfied, I began attending strength and health seminars, culminating my decision to attend school for massage therapy.
