Owner of Celestial Being by Noonish
I have been involved in the healing arts for over 30 years, both as a woman, daughter, sister, and mother, and as a dedicated practitioner helping others achieve wellness. My journey in bodywork began in 2001, and I’ve been a business owner in Southern Utah since 2015. Along the way, I’ve had the privilege of creating and teaching massage curriculums at Southern California Health Institute and UEI, and I currently serve as a SARGA instructor, sharing my knowledge and passion for bodywork with others.
My approach to healing is deeply personal. It all started with a life-altering accident that left me with crushed lumbar vertebrae, both heels, and wrists. Unable to afford physical therapy, I began rehabbing myself using a yogic lifestyle and regular bodywork. This experience not only empowered me to heal but also sparked my deeper exploration of the mind-body connection. It was through this journey that I discovered the transformative power of wellness, both physically and spiritually.
I have since gravitated toward modalities based in structural integration, movement, and the principles of oriental wellness. I’ve continued my studies in a wide range of healing practices, including Ahshiatsu, Thai bodywork, SARGA, hypnosis, sound therapies, trauma-informed myofascial techniques, acupressure, and Qi Gong. These modalities have become a lifelong journey of learning, self-discovery, and growth.
For me, massage and bodywork are not just techniques; they are a calling—a practice that evolves with each moment. I’ve learned that this work is as much about personal growth and inner reflection as it is about supporting others in their healing journeys. It’s an absolute honor and privilege to hold space for others, to uplift them, and to contribute to the change I wish to see in the world.
