I grew up in Louisiana, surrounded by the rich flavors and vibrant culture of the South, but in 2009 I made the bold decision to move to Colorado to pursue a culinary degree at a renowned culinary school. My years in the kitchen taught me about precision, flow, and the deep importance of nourishment—not just for the body, but for the soul. However, after graduating in 2013, I realized that my passion extended beyond food and into the world of holistic care. I found myself increasingly drawn toward touch, healing, and wellness, recognizing how these elements could transform lives. Determined to expand my skill set, I earned my esthetician license in 2014, immersing myself in the art of skincare and self-care. Two years later, I further deepened my expertise by obtaining my massage therapist license in 2016. Over the next several years, I gained invaluable experience practicing in a variety of spas around Summit County, working with clients from all walks of life and learning how to tailor my approach to each individual’s needs. The mountains were absolutely gorgeous—majestic, peaceful, and inspiring—but the long, cold winters eventually led me to seek a new chapter. I returned to Denver with a vision: to create a space that felt truly welcoming and restorative, both for myself and for my clients. This dream became a reality when I founded Cap Hill Massage, a place where I could combine my diverse background in culinary arts, esthetics, and massage therapy to offer a holistic approach to wellness and healing.

My massage style draws on years of yoga experience and focuses on deep pressure techniques using my forearms and elbows, all delivered with a mindful, flowing approach. We’ll start with your back and shoulders while you’re lying face down, then move to the front of your body, working from your lower body upward, and finish with a calming head, neck, and shoulder massage. My aim is to relieve tension, support your wellbeing, and leave you feeling refreshed in both body and mind.

Nestled in the Sherman Gardens building in the heart of Denver’s Capitol Hill, Cap Hill Massage & Wellness provides deep-tissue massage designed to promote inner calm, release, and rejuvenation. Whether you’re dealing with chronic tension, recovering from a tough week, or simply seeking relaxation, each session is customized to meet your unique needs.
