What was your first sign that you wanted to do massage therapy for a living?
There was not a singular moment when I realized I wanted to do massage therapy for a living, but from my very first day of school at the Body Therapy Institute, I knew that I was in the right place. Every day of school and work that has followed, has reaffirmed for me that I am doing the work that I am meant to do.
