Read about my volunteer work with The Heart Touch Project in 2006 & 2007
Why did I go into massage? I have always had an interest in holistic health, clean living, alternative therapies, natural healing, spirituality, exercise, etc, and massage is part of that. My first career was as a sign language interpreter. After many years interpreting my interest in the field was waning, so I looked around for what else I felt passionate about for a career. I suddenly remembered being 14 & telling my childhood friend that one day I was going to be a massage therapist. That was to be the new career! I went to massage school, & worked both jobs (interpreting & mobile massage) for a time, then retired from interpreting. Now I am very happy running my mobile massage business & am definitely working ‘in the flow’!
