My Journey

After eight years of running my own landscape business and dealing with persistent physical pain, mental health struggles, weight fluctuations, and stress, I found myself in a cycle that seemed impossible to break. I was an occasional smoker, social drinker, and heavy meat eater, always pushing through pain and ignoring my body’s signals. Eventually, I realized I needed a profound change, one that would heal not only my body but my mind and spirit. That decision led me to a fulfilling and transformative career in Muscle Manipulation, Body Work, and holistic healing. Originally from Texas, I moved to Georgia over 20 years ago and made it my home. My healing journey began in 2017 when I took a leap and started studying massage therapy. This experience unlocked a deep-seated passion for understanding the body’s innate ability to heal and opened my eyes to the possibilities of alternative and integrative healing modalities. Over time, as I experienced remarkable improvements in my own mental and physical well-being, my journey inspired me to help others on their paths to healing as well. As a single mother of three, I put myself through school and became fully accredited and licensed in both Georgia and Texas. My passion and determination drove me to create and establish Refreshed Body Mind, a space that combines therapeutic bodywork with holistic mind-body practices. During my time as a student at the Atlanta School of Massage, I explored both spa-based relaxation and science-driven, clinical therapeutic massage. This duality enabled me to create an integrative approach that bridges relaxation and therapeutic care for true, deep healing. Drawn to the clinical aspect of bodywork, I pursued certifications in Medical Massage, Personal Training, Corrective Exercise, Group Fitness, and Health Coaching. I’ve used these skills to build a unique, heart-centered, medically oriented approach that has been instrumental in my own recovery and in helping clients find relief from pain and improve their well-being. In recent years, my experiences with mental health challenges have taught me that pain and discomfort are often interconnected with emotional, environmental, and chemical factors. These issues aren’t only about injuries; they’re about how our lives, our surroundings, and our thoughts impact our bodies. This perspective has guided me to see the body as a whole system, requiring a thoughtful balance of movement, nutrition, and emotional support for optimal health. To support my practice and expand my reach, I have worked with chiropractic offices and doctors in Georgia, specializing in medical massage techniques. As a certified Medical Massage Practitioner, I use an outcome-based approach to address conditions like sciatica, TMJ, plantar fasciitis, knee pain, hip pain, headaches, and more, improving clients' range of motion, reducing pain, and accelerating recovery. As a certified Health Coach and Personal Trainer, I help clients integrate sustainable lifestyle changes, offering accountability and guidance in achieving personal wellness goals. I strongly believe that with the right tools and support, each person can unlock their body’s innate healing abilities. My approach integrates nutritional guidance, soft tissue work, mindfulness, and movement to enhance quality of life. Today, my goal is to empower others to take control of their health by providing holistic, personalized care that nurtures both body and mind. Through Refreshed Body Mind, I’m building a community of individuals dedicated to the pursuit of wellness—beautiful souls who are refreshed, body and mind.
