ABOUT ME
I'm a Certified Massage Therapist, who loves physical outdoor activity like hiking, climbing, surfing, swimming, biking, and camping. I'm into food! Growing it, cooking it, and am delighted by farmer's markets.
I'm cheerful, easy going and love adventures!

PHILOSOPHY

Nutrition, safe drinking water, music, dance, love, creativity and critical thinking are how I determine my self-worth instead of money and material values. Do what I love and love what I do.
