Last Updated: Aug 07, 2022

- When I was in my apprenticeship massage program I noticed my massage clients gave me tips,and by them tipping me that gave me the confidence in my work as a massage student.

- I would definitely miss my massage days,because massages is what I do best,plus I like seeing people stress free.

- I remember my first day of being a masseur,I was working as assistant personal trainer in Southern California when one of my clients have asked me to massage him for 10 minutes and the minute I touched him he told me I had the touch of being a therapist and that I pursue it as a profession.

- I want my clients to feel stress free and satisfied.

- I take my time in palpating my client’s body to see if they have any tensions.

- I don’t travel much but if I have to I will.

- I’ve been doing massages for 20 years,and would like to further my education too enhance my skills in massage,I also plan on retiring from massage in my 60’s.

- I want my clients to feel rejuvenated,and relax before heading out the door and into a stressful city life.

- my advice is seek a physician’s advice before seeing a massage therapist because sometimes a massage and exacerbate your illness,don’t do drugs or have high blood pressure,diabetes or heart problems.

- Yes extensive training is very important,because you need to know areas of CONTRAINDICATIONS so you won’t hurt your clients and be held responsible for any liabilities,so a lot of anatomy,physiology,and kinesiology.So study up.

- My hobbies are hiking,lifting weights,gardening,meditating in the mountains when I have the opportunity or free time.Surrounding myself with pure tender lovenkindess.

- Why did I become a massage therapist?because it has good health benefits like releasing muscle tensions caused by every day stress from work,or personal life issues,helps one relax.

- I would like my massage clients too know that I'm a honest person and Sympathetic.
