Balancing life as a full-time student-athlete while trying to figure out who I was outside of those roles was a difficult personal journey. My lack of physical self-care and confidence in the game I had once loved left me struggling, both mentally and physically. At the end of my 2015 spring semester, I made the difficult decision to hang up my cleats in search of a more fulfilling path.

I then transferred to Blinn College and later graduated from Texas A&M University with a degree in Animal Science. While I didn’t find my true passion in that field, my journey led me full circle, back to my original love of helping others with their physical well-being. Seeking clarity, I began working at a chiropractic clinic as a floor technician. It was there that I discovered my calling in massage therapy.

The Story Behind Mind & Body Junction

Sports have always been a huge part of my life. I’ve loved competition, pushing my limits, and the confidence that comes with mastering a skill. Softball, in particular, was my passion. In 2014, I left for college to play for Abilene Christian University, with dreams of becoming a physical therapist, just like many others who are drawn to helping people.
