The love I have for my work is deeply rooted in my desire to provide caring touch and healing guidance to others. I do not claim to offer others healing; I simply provide the facilitation and space in which others are enabled to heal themselves. We all know that the human body possesses an enormous and astonishing capacity to heal itself. With proper education, lifestyle changes, self-care, and dedication, I have witnessed countless clients empower themselves, take their health back into their own hands, and find the balance needed to reach that place of full holistic health.

I started my practice, Hands with Heart, in 2012 strictly offering therapeutic massage therapy. Over the years, I continued to grow in the alternative healthcare field which led me to the incredible work of Dr. Rosita Arvigo. My experience with The Arvigo Techniques of Maya Abdominal Therapy® was instantly life changing for me. Physically, I began experiencing symptom-free periods after a lifetime of crippling menstrual pain and debilitating premenstrual depression. Emotionally and spiritually, the self-care aspect of the work opened my heart and mind and led me to a beautiful season of self-discovery, renewal, and deep emotional healing.  This spawned an ever-growing passion for sharing this incredible work with others, which has allowed Hands with Heart’s focus to blossom and change. Hands with Heart is now the only practice primarily focused on offering Arvigo® Therapy to our community here in the Shenandoah Valley.

In addition to my passion for Arvigo® Abdominal Therapy, I still very much enjoy providing Holistic Massage Therapy. The majority of my career has been spent both working and learning in medical settings. Through this, combined with a multitude of advanced therapeutic trainings and over eleven years of experience as a Licensed Massage Therapist, I have found tremendous joy and fulfillment in working with women, men, and children experiencing a wide variety of conditions and medically complex situations.

I recognize that everyone has their own physical, emotional, and mental needs and limitations. My sessions and treatment plans are custom-tailored to meet those individual needs. I also believe that positive intention has great power. Healing intention is always present in my practice, whether I’m providing a session or teaching a client how to practice positive intention in her or his own self-care practices.

I have found my life’s purpose through sharing Arvigo® Therapy and Holistic Massage Therapy with others. I am honored and grateful to be able to walk alongside so many on their own personal journey to achieving a fulfilled life through holistic healing.
