Dylan was born and raised in Georgia but moved
to Tampa with her family 12 years ago. Her dad
was a Tampa native and always considered it
his home. She attended college at USF with full
academic scholarships. While attending USF she
decided to go to school for massage therapy in
2010. After finishing her schooling for massage,
she completed her degree as well.
Dylan has been licensed for seven years and
has owned her own business in South Tampa for
three. Her decision to branch out on her own gave
herself the freedom to spend more time with her
nine-year-old son and travel and see the world.
During the seven years of massage therapy, she
discovered that her skill set was very much tactile.
She mastered woodwork and welding to design
and create custom furniture. On the other end
of the spectrum, she also blends her own body
butters, massage oils, and beauty products.
Currently, Dylan is working on writing a book on
massage therapy. She enjoys cooking, traveling,
hiking, Muay Thai, live music, salsa and bachata
dancing, and fishing. Having a balanced but
active and healthy lifestyle is very important to her
as well as being fearless in learning new things
and pursuing goals.
