I knew ive always had the capacity and drive to help other people, but initially did not know which path that would lead me down. Before massage, I had spent nearly ten years in the service industry, serving and bartender. During those years, i experienced pain throughout my body but never considered massage as an option as a means for tension relief. In my own way, I resolved myself to living in that pain longer than necessary. I had never had a massage before starting this career path simply because I was unaware of its benefits.

There wasn't some grand epiphany I had where massage clicked into place for me, but rather a deep pull from inside that guided me there. I am someone who trusts her gut and strengthens it by listening to it, just as you would a muscle. I didn't fully understand it until my first day of class and it suddenly became clear. 

Massage therapy gave me a new way to communicate. The mind, the nervous system and the body all connect together. I have learned how to listen to the words youre saying, feel what your body is saying and blend them. Its a skill im really proud of developing and strive to fine tune it through each session and experience.
