My journey into massage therapy began ever since I was young with my interest in the medical field. My father, who is a doctor, would come home and tell me about his experiences helping people. Many of my family members have built careers in medicine, and I admire those who choose to dedicate their lives to making a difference in quality of life. Massage captured my heart because it is an alternative form of care to our broken medical system. It is a tangible way to help people who are stressed, injured, or suffering in some way to start their recovery or begin self care.
