About Us

At Wil­low Tree Well­ness Cen­ter, our mis­sion is sim­ple: to help you feel your best—physically, men­tal­ly, and spiritually.

I opened Wil­low Tree Well­ness Cen­ter in 2017 out of a deep pas­sion for help­ing clients live health­i­er, more bal­anced lives. My jour­ney into well­ness began after earn­ing my Bach­e­lor of Busi­ness Admin­is­tra­tion from Indi­ana State Uni­ver­si­ty, fol­lowed by my cer­ti­fi­ca­tion in Health and Well­ness Coach­ing through the Mayo Clin­ic in Rochester, Min­neso­ta. I am proud to be a Nation­al Board-Cer­ti­fied Health and Well­ness Coach and was among the first cohort of Nation­al­ly Board-Cer­ti­fied Health & Well­ness Coach­es (NBC-HWC) in 2017. 

I have been a Licensed Mas­sage Ther­a­pist since 2006, hold­ing licens­es in both Illi­nois and Mon­tana. Ear­ly in my career, I expand­ed my train­ing to include colon hydrother­a­py through a spe­cial­ized pro­gram in San Anto­nio, Texas. Over the years, my path has con­tin­ued to evolve, blend­ing hands-on ther­a­pies with func­tion­al and holis­tic approach­es to health.

Wil­low Tree Well­ness Cen­ter was cre­at­ed as a space where heal­ing is inten­tion­al and per­son­al­ized. We believe true well­ness goes beyond symp­tom management—it’s about address­ing the whole per­son. Every ser­vice we offer is thought­ful­ly designed with your well-being at the center.

Whether you are seek­ing relax­ation, pain relief, guid­ance, or a deep­er under­stand­ing of your health, we are here to sup­port you.

I look for­ward to wel­com­ing you.
