Hi, I’m Desiree, a certified massage therapist and the heart behind Connected Holistic Healing. My path to this work is rooted in both love and loss, and in a deep commitment to healing from the inside out.

I am the mother of two boys who have profoundly shaped my purpose. After the heartbreaking loss of one of my sons, the twin of my oldest, I was called to understand grief not just emotionally, but physically and energetically. At the same time, learning how to co-regulate and support my other son, who is autistic, taught me how powerful calm, presence, and safe touch can be in helping the nervous system feel secure.

These experiences transformed the way I practice. I believe healing happens when the mind, body, and spirit are supported together. In my sessions, I create a grounded, compassionate space where your body can release, your nervous system can settle, and your whole being can reconnect with balance.

My intention is to walk beside you in your healing journey, helping you feel seen, supported, and restored—one breath, one moment, one session at a time.
