Beau’s first experience with therapeutic massage was at a sixth grade career fair. She intuitively knew it was something she wanted to do. However, it wasn’t until after receiving a BA in Communication, some world travel, and completing a yoga teacher training program, when she finally decided to pursue the passion. While living on Maui, she found an amazing school in Makawao, MSTM, owned and operated by James Hackett, who was inducted into the Massage Therapy Hall of Fame in 2014. Beau graduated in 2013 and decided to return to her hometown, the Methow Valley, to put her new skills into action. Beau believes in the body’s innate capacity to heal through the ancient method of touch therapy.
