Desiree discovered her interest in massage therapy, several years ago, during her self-study of reflexology and the body's fascinating ability to heal. She believes that massage and reflexology facilitate the body's natural healing ability. Achieving herself and educating others to promote an optimal healthy life-style, naturally, is one of Desiree's life-long goals.
Desiree has had the well-rounded opportunity to practice her massage and bodywork in several environments including; chiropractic offices, a physical therapy office, massage clinics, spas and now privately!
Desiree was born and raised in Kent, Ohio but her family frequently visited Cook Forest to get away from the hustle and bustle of northeastern Ohio. Desiree loves the Cook Forest area so much she decided to reside here full-time. She has her private practice in a lovely office space attached but separate to the family's vacation cottage.
