Our Mission

I founded Ivy Leaf Massage & Bodywork in 2023 after countless years of working stressful jobs behind a desk, and found my neck and shoulders were in a constant world of hurt. I suffered headaches from neck and shoulder tension on a daily basis, and was starting to feel like long-lasting relief would be forever just beyond my reach. I had been to chiropractors, I had taken over-the-counter pain medication to the point of developing a sensitivity to them, and I had tried physical therapy. All of these methods helped for a time, but the pain would always come nagging its way back into my life. 

It was in this state of chronic pain that I attended massage therapy school in 2022, and realized that massage was the answer that I had been praying for. For the first time in my life, I felt the true benefits of massage and found that my pain greatly decreased, my mobility returned in my shoulders, and I had far fewer headaches after just a few months of regular bodywork. It was then that I knew I was in the right profession, and I had to bring the miracle of bodywork to the other overworked desk employees who sit hunched over a computer keyboard all day.

While I was in school, I knew that I wanted to specialize in the upper body, which includes the neck, shoulders, hips, and lower back. I pursued an advanced certificate in Myofascial Release Therapy to learn how to release the jaw, shoulders, hips, and the SI joint, and took an interest in cupping and scraping therapies after I experienced the diminished pain and increased mobility they provided me. I understood the benefits of working with fascia after working for almost ten years in my father’s chiropractic office as an aide. With my medical background, the structural work and benefits of these modalities made perfect sense to me.

When I graduated in July of 2023 from Intermountain Massage Therapy Collage in Utah, I knew I was ready to hit the ground running to bring upper body stress and pain relief to my clients. I continued my education and received certificates in lymphatic drainage and whiplash injury. 

I started Ivy Leaf Massage & Bodywork in October of 2023, and knew I wanted to be mobile, so my clients would not have to come to me. I know how hard it is to drive while you're in pain, so I was determined to come to them. With my knowledge today, I strive to take the stress off the shoulders of hardworking individuals by bringing the miracle of targeted, structural bodywork into the comfort of their own home.
