- I cant say exactly because I don't think there was a single moment, but I do remember thinking to myself during my training that being a massage therapist was exactly made for me.

- I wouldnt say addictive, but I would miss it, yes. I enjoy helping people find relief and release of daily stress and anxiety. It's very fulfilling.

- I do.

- I don't have a lot of spare time these days, but when I did, you could catch me in the garden, by the pool or at the aquarium shop trying to rationalize getting one more fish.

- For about 10 years. I'd like to continue as long as I am able.

- My hope is that my clients trust me and want to come back to experience the calm and peace that I try to exude and convey.

- I am both a traveller and a homebody. I love to see new places and meet new people and cultures, but I also really love to cuddle with my dogs and my boyfriend with a pint of ice cream in front of the TV watching episodes of series I've seen a few times already.

- If I talk a lot, it's because I'm nervous. I get requests to be more verbal, but I'm just not built that way. I find that I express myself best non-verbally, with my body language and facial expressions.

- Pay attention to your clients' cues during the massage. Being able to adjust your routine on the fly, and customizing the session will leave you and the client satisfied. Do not give your energy TO your client, but be a conduit through which they can receive positive energy.

- Centered, calm, peaceful and fulfilled.

- While training is important, having the innate ability to sense the clients' feedback through touch, and physical and verbal communication has been key for me.

- Being able to intuit from my clients, their needs both physically and emotionally.

- It seemed to be a natural extension of my personal training business.
