Xochi has always naturally gravitated towards massage therapy. Even as a young child she would massage  parents for fun while watching  movies.

 She has always been interested in health, and has a strong belief in alternative medical care, looking at health from all aspects- physical, spiritual and emotional. This was especially triggered at the end of high school when her mom was diagnosed with cancer that was unresponsive to chemotherapy. 

While living in Utah, she received her Bachelor's degree  in community health education and interned with a company that focused on employee wellness programs. 

 Attending the massage program at SHI, she found her passion in practicing massage with all populations and health backgrounds.  She enjoys the unique challenges each person, regardless of age presents to her to help them on their healing journey

She lives with her husband, homeschools her four kids (who are awesome little massage therapists!), and bunny. 

Being in nature and the practice of Yoga are key components to her wellbeing and she enjoys camping and meditation.

She enjoys audiobooks and podcasts as well as drawing and a new interest in writing song lyrics with a friend who writes music.
