About Me

 

       This is the “About Me” page, for those who want to know about me!   Since the rest of the website is about what I do, this page will be more about “why” I do it. 
I had many, many jobs before I got into massage therapy.  I worked in more kitchens than I can remember…. landscaping, construction, manufacturing, cannabis cultivation (one of my favorites)…. 
I was burning out.  Frequent injuries kept me from getting out of the hole I dug myself.  My wife and I were barely making ends meet and we weren’t sure if our dream of starting a family would ever come true. 
  After one particular back injury, the ER doc recommended I try massage therapy.  I had never had a massage before so I started asking around.  I was referred to a therapist who had just returned from studying massage in Thailand.  I was hooked after one session! And after about a year, I’d suffered no new injuries but I was still working way too much.  My therapist gave me the info on a local massage school and suggested I try a new career.  I found that I really loved working one-on-one to help others feel their best, just as my therapist had done with me.  And being a massage therapist allows me to spend more time with my loving family, which is the whole point, right?!  
Massage led me into fitness and corrective exercise.  My quality of life has skyrocketed as a result and now I’m here to light your path, so to speak, to a happier, healthier life!
