As an only child raised by a single parent, I was always a little rebellious with a big imagination. I grew up dancing, singing, writing, and reinventing myself regularly. A true Northern Lake girl from Duluth, Minnesota — part Forest Faerie, part animal lover, part artist, and always a healer at heart.
After high school, I attended Beauty College and spent four years as a Cosmetologist back when hair and skincare were still one world. But something was missing. I craved more, so I enrolled at UWS to study Marine Biology — because obviously, becoming a Mermaid was a completely reasonable life goal. My background in hair and makeup eventually pulled me into Theatre, and one thing led to another until I packed up and moved to California, ultimately earning a Master of Fine Arts in Theatre & Film.
It was either L.A. or… Vegas, Baby.
I spent eight incredible years with Cirque Du Soleil and three years with Blue Man Group in Las Vegas, working in wardrobe and makeup. It was a dream — until overuse injuries from a technical stitching promotion stopped me in my tracks. That painful detour led me straight to yoga, meditation, and alternative healing modalities. And then I met my husband from India, and everything changed.
Captivated by the color, movement, and spice of Bollywood, I created Fundoo Fitness in 2009 — a Bollywood-inspired fitness program to help people shake off the stress of everyday life. I became a certified personal coach, a Group X Instructor for Bombay Jam Bollywood Fitness, and studied with Hemalayaa Behl for a combined Yoga & Indian Dance Certificate.
Over six separate trips to India, I immersed myself in Reiki, Ayurveda, Face Yoga, Classical Indian Dance, cooking, and martial arts. It was life-altering, eye-opening, and I have so much still to share from those experiences.
Time in Los Angeles and Savannah, Georgia added even more texture to my journey — including the beginning of a paranormal fascination (since 2013) that eventually became three haunted businesses in Hollywood, Lake Havasu and back home for Duluth Ghost Tours.
In 2017, after a significant life transition, I relocated to Lake Havasu City, Arizona and went back to school — yes, again — this time as a Licensed Massage TherapistMassage Therapy I needed a skill that would travel with me and actually pay the bills. I also earned my Animal Massage Therapy certification while I was at it. After graduation, I worked at a spa and was invited to teach at Charles of Italy School of Massage, then eventually found my own space to practice and started Lacuna in 2018.
Then COVID arrived and the center I rented from closed permanently. Rather than quit, I pivoted to a successful mobile massage business for two years before deciding in 2022 to move back to Minnesota — back to the seasons, back to family, and back to my roots.
I opened my own spa in Cloquet, bringing every talent I had gathered back Up North. After two years, life called me into Duluth for a larger community and fresh start. I worked for a chiropractor, provided hospice massage, and most recently at a lovely spa in Canal Park — until it closed in November 2025.
Facing an unexpected crossroads, I’ll be honest — I wondered if my massage career was behind me. Four long, uncertain months of rebuilding online businesses, hospice caregiving and grieving the loss of my senior cat, and searching for what came next. Then I found it: a space inside Doc’s Gym in Superior, Wisconsin — just three miles from home, in a city full of history and familiar faces.
So, I got my Wisconsin massage license, and here we are.
Lacuna Massage is open again. And this time, it truly feels like coming home.
This isn’t just a massage page. You’ll get a full view into holistic health through a lens built from decades of hands-on experience across wellness, movement, culture, and healing arts. Bodywork, better habits, mental health, nutrition, movement — and maybe even some Fundoo Bollywood Dance classes making a comeback.
