Business Owner

My education as a bodyworker began at young age with a rich exposure to my Haitian heritage. My Haitian born and raised grandparents integrated the Haitian Healing Arts into my everyday life. In recent years, it became apparent to me that these traditions were important lessons and teachings that have fostered my passion for helping others and all aspects of healing.

In addition, I have nearly 1400 hours of in-​depth training in Human Anatomy & Physiology, Pathology, Kinesiology, Body Systems, Eastern & Western Bodywork, and Myofascial Pain & Dysfunction through the National Holistic Institute, a Federally Accredited College of Massage Therapy. I have a deep passion for learning and completed my training at National Holistic Institute with Honors.

In Spring 2014, I became certified in Pre– & Perinatal Massage Therapy. I’m excited to further my education and integrative approach by pursing my Masters in Nursing to become a Certified Nurse Midwife & Women’s Health Nurse Practitioner.
