Experienced Hands. Personalized Care.
Born and raised in Florida, Desirae discovered her passion for massage therapy after experiencing its benefits firsthand while recovering from an injury. Massage became an important part of her healing, introducing her to a tranquil and restorative world that would ultimately inspire her career.
Desirae studied at the Alpha Institute of the Treasure Coast, earning her massage therapy diploma and Florida license in 2009. Since then, her career has taken her from luxury resorts and destination spas in Florida and the Caribbean to private practices, healing arts centers, wellness retreats, private yachts, and mobile settings.
With more than 16 years of experience, Desirae brings extensive training, intuition, and genuine care to every session. Her additional training includes hot stone therapy, medical massage, prenatal massage, sports massage, reflexology, and other therapeutic techniques, allowing her to thoughtfully customize each treatment around her clients’ individual needs.

A Life Inspired by the Water
A Life Inspired by the Water
Over the past several years, Desirae has also pursued her love of life on the water. After studying at Chapman School of Seamanship and learning to sail in her hometown, she gained experience aboard a variety of boats and yachts. She found her niche working as a sailing-catamaran mate and chef on all-inclusive charters, as well as a sole stewardess aboard motor yachts throughout Key West, The Bahamas, the Caribbean, and the northeastern United States.
Today, Desirae and her partner live aboard their own monohull sailboat in Key West, making the water an integral part of both her personal life and professional journey.
Desirae is currently completing her A.S. in Culinary Management at the College of the Florida Keys. Her long-term dream is to combine her experience in massage, hospitality, boating, and culinary arts to create restorative, all-inclusive sailing wellness retreats.
