Growing up in Southern Oregon Diane enjoyed camping, hiking and fishing with her family as well as softball, volleyball, basketball and dancing throughout school. At an early age she was introduced to massage therapy and quickly grew to appreciate the many benefits this brought in her athletic pursuits. She recognized the benefits of relaxing tight muscles, improving her flexibility and how regular care helped her achieve her performance goals. It seemed only natural for Diane to pursue a career in massage therapy. In 2017 she graduated from the Center for Massage and Natural Health and joined Wilson Family Chiropractic in 2018. Diane specializes in deep tissue massages and ashiatsu. When not at work Diane enjoys spending time with her daughter Rosalie and her dog Resin. License #16536 LMBT License #3245 CA
