Board Certification in Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork is the highest voluntary credential a massage therapist can obtain within the profession—it is above and beyond entry level state licensure. By becoming Board Certified, I represent a community of therapists who have gone above standard educational and work experience requirements with a dedicated and lifelong commit to continuing education. Furthermore, I live up to higher standards and ethics in alignment with The National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork (NCBTMB).
To achieve my Board Certification, I provided proof of a minimum of 750 hours of education, 250 hours of professional, hands-on work experience, passed a criminal background check, agreed to uphold NCBTMB's Standards of Practice and Code of Ethics, and passed the Board Certification Exam. By passing the BCETMB and meeting all requirements, I demonstrate advanced assessment and critical thinking skills, as well as a commitment to excellence. I wear the credentials BCTMB with pride for myself, my profession, and, most importantly, my clients. I have now been a full time massage therapist since 2006 and bring all those years of experience to every session.

Thoughts on yoga
The practice of yoga has had a profound effect on the lives of millions of people worldwide. It is a transformative science that can be enjoyed by anyone, anywhere, at any time. You don’t need any special equipment just the desire to try. What you bring with you is yourself and what you take away is your “Self”.
The practice of yoga is analogous to the molding of a piece of clay or the carving of a sculpture. As one begins, the first gains come rather quickly and the physical figure starts to take shape. Then the work becomes more intensive as the true beauty beneath the surface begins to reveal itself. This requires mental determination and focus. Finally, one must learn to use finer tools and meticulous detail in order to render the masterpiece hidden within the clay or stone. Our connection to that practice is where yoga happens.
