I became a licensed massage therapist and started Amani Massage & Wellness for people like me who want:
I struggled with chronic anxiety, depression, and PTSD for more than 15 years.
And while traditional treatments like medication and cognitive behavioral therapy provided some relief, they never seemed to provide a long-lasting solution.
Then, after a failed lower back surgery in 2017, and being diagnosed with an autoimmune condition and fibromyalgia, I got serious about my healing.
I experimented with at least a dozen combinations of traditional options, none of which approached the mind-body connection in treating my mental and physical conditions…
So, I created my own.
The combination of massage, heat, and meditation I use with my clients is the same protocol I used as a major part of healing my chronic anxiety and depression, significantly decreasing the physical pain of degenerative discs in my lower back, as well as fibromyalgia flares.
It’s my sincere hope that we can help you tap into the power of your mind-body connection and become the best, most pain-free and peaceful version of yourself!
I created the Amani For You Foundation, an Arizona-based non-profit organization, to help bring health and wellness education, massage, meditation, and other wellness practices to people who may not otherwise have access.
I believe that true healing happens in community, and that peaceful healthy, thriving families and communities begin with helping each other feel our best--inside and out!
