MY PATH
I have been fortunate to be in this amazing industry for over 30 years. I took my first massage class at 19 and haven’t stopped since!
I attended the Aveda Institute in Minneapolis, Massage School of Santa Monica and Healing Arts Institute in Colorado for my formal training in Esthetics, Massage Therapy and Holistic practices . I spent several years as a trainer for Aveda specializing in Skin Care and Massage, traveling to spa locations through out the United States. Lemongrass is my second endeavor as an owner of an Aveda salon/spa and I absolutely can’t imagine any thing more fulfilling.
SPECIALITIES
My passion is creating sacred space and keeping the environment peaceful for our staff and guests to enjoy everyday. My role is to hire and maintain the most talented and loving team who provide exceptional multi-sensory experiences that nourish our guests mind, body, and spirit.
