Growing up near Boysen Park and Roosevelt Elementary, Anaheim has always been more than a city to me — it’s home. It’s where I played, learned, worked my first jobs, and built the life I’m proud of today. Being an Anaheim local means everything, and bringing my massage business back to the city that raised me feels like a full‑circle moment. I live here, I work full‑time here as a payroll coordinator, and now I get to serve this community as a business owner in the very place that has watched me grow.

My journey as a massage therapist began in 2013, during a time when I was searching for a career that allowed me to truly help people heal. After my shifts at Disneyland, I would head to Everest College on Brookhurst & Crescent. I still remember walking into the massage classroom for the first time — the energy, the calm, the purpose. I knew instantly that this was the kind of healing I wanted to dedicate myself to.

That vision led me to a medical center in Brea, working in the physical therapy department. I helped athletes recovering from injuries, post‑op patients rebuilding strength, first responders hurt in the line of duty, and even a retired librarian who still played tennis, gardened, and cooked for her grandson. It opened my eyes to something important: everyone is carrying something. Injuries, stress, strain — life affects all of us.

From there, I launched my mobile massage business, meeting clients in the comfort of their homes so they could relax without the stress of driving before or after their session. Those clients encouraged me to keep growing, and soon I found myself renting a room at Zero Givens in Whittier, owned by Juden. I healed their members, became a member myself, and experienced a community so tight‑knit it felt like family. I was in the best shape of my life, surrounded by people who supported one another.

Then life gave me the biggest blessing — I found out I was going to be a mom. I worked until my belly and energy told me it was time to rest, and I stepped into maternity leave. My baby is now six months old, and as I returned to my career, I felt that same longing for community… but this time, I wanted it here, in my own hometown of Anaheim. I’ve watched so many peers build beautiful businesses here, and I knew it was my turn to pour back into the city that shaped me.

Today, I’m proud to share that Massage & Wellness has found its home inside the beautiful Wellness Center created by Dr. Tara Rasta. The moment you walk in, you feel the stress melt away. She built a space rooted in healing, and I’m honored to bring my practice into an environment that aligns so deeply with my purpose.

And now… it’s time.
Please join me for my Grand Opening on January 18th. Come see for yourself why this is exactly where you need to be to care for your physical and mental health. Anaheim — I’m home, and I’m ready to heal our community, one session at a time.
