About Hillary
Where I began
I am originally from Pennsylvania; born in Easton, PA and moved to Pittsburgh for college. After graduating with my degree in writing, I chose to take a break from academics and stumbled into working at the Pittsburgh School of Massage Therapy. Massage therapy became a fascination for me and I was able to attend the school's amazing programs while still working at the school full time - I was immersed in the world! And I loved it.
Where It took me
After completing both the basic and advanced trainings at PghSMT, and after having lived in Pittsburgh for eleven years, It was time for a change. My sister had moved to San Antonio TX for her job and I decided to follow her. I worked at a day spa and while I enjoyed the city, it never felt like home. Luckily, Austin TX was just up the road! And I found home. Once here, I decided to take the leap and start my own practice. I've been in three locations, a hair salon, a chiropractic office and finally, since 2007, my own tiny corner office. And, once again, home.
Where I am now: CAreer
I have been building my massage therapy practice since arriving in Austin and am so honored to be part of my clients' wellness plans. And, after over 20 years of massage therapy I'm excited to venture into a new way to help with Life Coaching!
Where I am now: personal life
I met my now husband in 2017. We got married in 2019 and have a puppy (Ryp) and a senior cat (Sam). I have a few crafts that I enjoy, although I mostly crochet. I also do yoga, read, watch movies and take Ryp on long walks to burn off the puppy energy (it doesn't work!).
