Greetings!
Initially I began my career back in 2006 attending the Baltimore School of Massage. Upon entry I was given the option to study both massage therapy and physical fitness modeled by the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA). Upon graduating I became employed as a medical massage therapist. The experience and knowledge I gained allowed me to start my first business.
Not long after starting my first business I was deployed to Iraqi Freedom through the Army Reserves. I was already in my late forties during this time. Upon returning, I came back from the middle east a year later needing to get reestablished. I started by acquiring more training as a skin specialist at the Lancaster School of Cosmetology. Approximately a year after becoming an esthetician I began working with Beauty Beyond Fifty.
From the moment I created Beauty Beyond Fifty I wanted to provide services encompassing natural health concepts as they relate to beauty. As a returning soldier from Iraq finding healing for myself and others became a vital addition to these concepts.
Maintaining licensure in massage therapy and dual certifications in esthetics and massage therapy has required me to attend many continuing education classes. The live classes I chose to attend were not chosen solely to satisfy this requirement. Some were chosen to expand on my knowledge and skill in ways my profession was unable to offer me. Although the classes I have chosen to attend over the past seventeen years are too numerous to list some of the ones, I can attribute to my mastery of facial massage include Facial Cupping, Herbal Poultice Facial Massage, Gua Sha Facial Fusion, Acupressure/Shiatsu Facelift, Thai Facial Massage, Japanese Facial Massage, Japanese Hot Stone Facial Massage, Holistic Face & Neck Lifting, various classes on Facial Drainage and Aromatherapy.
Other training included a Temporomandibular Dysfunction seminar through Great Lakes, skin and aging through Rhonda Allison, Osmosis, Circadia and NLI.
As a NSCA Certified Personal Trainer, Postural Restructuring, nutrition and herbs have been another primary area of focus. As a Reiki Practitioner and Energetic Therapist, I trained under four Reiki Masters beginning in 2007. Each master had something special to offer in their teachings. This included Chakra Balancing and Facial Energetic Therapy.
Through research, practice, experimentation, discovery and working with many clients searching for natural, healthy alternatives to graceful aging I have elevated my understanding further in providing a great therapeutic experience that treats the face, neck, body, mind and spirit.
I created Beauti-ssage (professional facial rolling and supplies for facial massage pros) and authored the book, “The Art of Professional Facial Rolling”.
I enjoy teaching facial massage and working with business owners, schools and clients.
I am friendly and invite you to come in for a tour or consult anytime.
