MY PASSIONS

Throughout my journey of finding balance within my own body, dealing with severe upper body pains, limited range of motion and chronic headaches and migraines - I found modalities that really work to unravel tension patterns. I founded Modern Remedy to offer this on a large scale, and to help others finding relief from their pains.

WHY MODERN REMEDY

Working with Modern Remedy and all that it offers gives me the ability to be more hands on with the direction of health that my clients are looking for. I'm often referring to many other businesses and now it's convenient for them to explore other modalities.

I've always understood my 'why' as a massage therapist. I love that my clients can start to learn their 'why' as well. Modern Remedy is whole health and education based to give people the confidence to advocate for their health. Health starts with the mind, then body. My goal is for people to understand why they're scheduling more than one massage in a month or why is the skincare regimen be recommended or why is a sound bath so important. There's so much information about what we should do and not enough about why we should do something. Modern Remedy will have those conversations.
