Position at the Hotel:
I am the on-site Licensed Massage Therapist at The Palms Massage Therapy, located inside the Oasis Hotel. I provide a variety of services designed to help guests relax, recharge, and feel their best, including relaxation massage, deep tissue, reflexology, hot stone therapy, cupping, and aromatherapy.
How long have you worked here?
My journey with the Oasis began 20 years ago when I helped open Fire & Ice Restaurant. From there, I moved into the Assistant Manager position at the Convention Center and later transitioned into the Sales & Catering Coordinator position. Four years ago, I had the wonderful opportunity to open The Palms Massage Therapy Services at the Oasis Hotel. It has been an incredible journey, and I’m so grateful for every opportunity I’ve been given along the way.
What’s your favorite thing about working here?
My absolute favorite thing about working at the Oasis Hotel is meeting new people and building lifelong relationships. The Oasis truly feels like my home away from home. I’m incredibly thankful for the opportunities I’ve had here and for all of the wonderful people I’ve met throughout the years.
What do you like to do outside of work?
Outside of work, I love spending time with my husband, Daniel, and my nieces, Emma and Lacey. We enjoy gardening, working on craft projects, cooking, visiting Branson, and spending much-needed time at the lake fishing and swimming. Family time and making memories together are some of my favorite things!
What is a fun fact about you?
A fun fact about me is that I genuinely love helping and connecting with people. My passion is spreading positivity, showing care, and making a difference in the lives of the people I meet. Whether through massage therapy or simply sharing a conversation and a smile, I love making people feel welcomed, cared for, and valued.
