Amber graduated from Pittsburgh Technical Institute in January 2009 and is proud to be certified by the NCBTMB, which is a national board that recognizes professional therapeutic massage and bodywork, and licensed by the state of PA.  Since 2009 I have continued my education with classes of myofascial release,lomi-lomi, neuromuscular massage for Fibromyalgia, Reiki Mastership among other minor classes in basic knowledge of the human body.

Amber served in the Army as an MP for four years, and is grateful for our veterans that came before her that paved the way for future generations.

She is a proud mother of two wonderful daughters,a frenchy,and a wife of a  military & police veteran that served his community.  Sadly in March of 2009 Chris and Amber were in a terrible motorcycle accident.  A box truck made a left turn cutting them off and nearly killed them.  This was a tragic end to her first ever motorcycle ride.  They were left with injuries that will never be reversed and that took a very painful year of therapy and surgeries, injuries that she still suffers from to this day.  Although this experience was not pleasant, Amber has gained empathy and an appreciation for those who have survived trauma, and have learned different pain syndromes caused by physical trauma to the body along the road of her own personal recovery and daily management.

Amber became a massage therapist to help others find natural health care.  She did not become a therapist to” just rub lotion” (that's just creepy). She has grown through experience with veterans that suffer from PTSD and physical injuries, elderly, auto collision victims, diabetics and many other cases of pain syndromes or illnesses.  Amber   and Carpe Diem has been tested many times and she has found a true passion to help others manage their pain and health.

Carpe Diem Therapeutic Massage is locally owned and operated and has been in business since Jan 2009 and is constantly striving to bring education on the benefits of massage & Reiki, new services and body wellness to not only her clients but the community as well.  Carpe Diem believes that as a business it should have a hand in giving back to the community.
