Why I Do What I Do
For many years, I was the woman who took care of everyone else — and left herself last.
I’ve been a massage therapist for 15+ years, and while I was helping others heal, I was slowly burning out myself. My body was tired. My soul was tired. And like many women, I learned how to push through instead of slow down.
I’ve also walked through seasons of chronic pain, emotional exhaustion, and the quiet strain that stress and life pressures can put on a marriage. I love God deeply, but even in my faith, I had to learn that strength is not the same as wholeness.
God began to show me something powerful:
When a woman’s body is overwhelmed, her emotions suffer.
When her emotions suffer, her relationships suffer.
And when she never rests, her spirit suffers too.
My own healing journey taught me how deeply connected our bodies, souls, and relationships really are.
As my husband and I have walked through our own ups and downs, I’ve seen firsthand how God truly is the third cord that holds a marriage together — and how healing, rest, and intentional care can bring hearts back together again.
That’s why I created Healing Motions .
Today, I help faith-based African-American women who are tired of being strong learn how to rest, heal, and reconnect with God and themselves — so they can show up to their lives and marriages renewed, softer, and whole again.
This isn’t just massage.
This isn’t just self-care.
This is restoration from the inside out.
And if you’re tired, worn down, or running on empty — you are not alone.
There is a gentler, more peaceful way forward.
