Career/Athletic Achievements

I have worked in a number of fields throughout my life following my own natural curiosities. I fell into massage therapy after initially thinking I would be a chiropractor. After working for a chiropractor and learning massage therapy skills, patients said, “This is where your skills lay. Follow your strength.” After working with athletes, seniors, and people of all ages, guiding them to feel whole as a massage therapist, I attended a client’s birth. I fell in love with the wonder of birth and became a labor doula. I have attended over 100 births and each one was like no other. I became a 1st-3rd year Montessori Teacher after exploring schools for my sons. I loved this season of my life and cherish the Montessori philosophy. I took a leap of faith, after living in Chicago for the first half of my life and moved to Colorado to help my sister with her business. I sold with her company for a year before the pandemic hit. After that I found a Chicago company, WeatherTech, building a new factory store in Colorado! I sold automotive, home and pet accessories with them for 3 years then returned to the Midwest to be closer to the kiddos (grown adults) and grandbabies. Finding the WAC has been like coming home. I love our staff and our message – “Connect – Care – Continuous Improvement.”
