Derra is a Licensed Massage Therapist in practice for over 20 years. She received her Bachelor of Science Degree in Exercise and Sports Science from Texas State University. Derra is also a National Academy of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer since 2011, and a certified Yoga Instructor since 2016.

Derra became a Massage Therapist as a way to help people and serve her community. Her approach to Massage is to work intuitively with individuals to help them feel better physically and find a sense of wellness, leading to a more fulfilling life. Derra is a strong promoter of the practice of self-care. She enjoys a space where she can test her abilities as a therapist, and help her community improve their quality of life. While using different bodywork modalities throughout her career, it is the John Barnes Myofascial Release Approach that she has experienced the longest and most permanent changes in pain and modality.

In her free time Derra loves to hike, watch movies, cook, and spend time with family, including her fur baby, Riley.
