River graduated from the Nevada School of Massage Therapy in 2004, and spent multiple weeks studying at the Esalen Institute in Big Sur California shortly thereafter having a profound impact on her approach to Bodywork in a way that is both gently fluid and strongly effective, connected through deep presence and awareness.

She has a background working in massage education, medical settings as well as 5 star destination resort spas. She has been working solely in private practice since moving to Louisville in 2015.

River spends much of her time outside the office practicing yoga, hiking, being outdoors as much as possible and is constantly exploring various healing and somatic modalities.
