"My journey to massage and helping people feel better has been a long one that began when I was severely injured in a vehicle accident. The injuries required major back surgery resulting in enduring pain on a daily basis. Later in life, a corporate job led to more neck and back pain. I wanted to gain understanding of the body to ease my pain and the pain others felt from daily living and responsibilities. I understand the body, physical discomfort and the yearning for a solution from a deeply personal perspective. I used this to motivate me to become educated and adept at providing relief through massage therapy to help others relieve pain and prevent reinjury."
