Why Massage and Bodywork?

Why Massage?

My favorite question to answer. I have known I would be a massage therapist since I was five years old. Believe it or not, my first job was being my dads barber. If my sister and I weren’t dipping combs in water or putting our barrettes to style his hair, we were cutting it. He would pay us $5 for this hair cut. One guard all around, clean up around the ears, nothing fancy.

Me, being the clever little entrepreneur I am, seized the opportunity to embark on a new business venture, massage.

My dad is a skilled master carpenter, his craftsmanship can be seen in homes all throughout Maine, including furniture, with some historic sites restorations in Portland. His job was tough on his body and as a little empath, I saw this and sought to alleviate any pain I could for him. So, I offered my lowest rate ever, .75 cents, for a back massage while he watched entertainment tonight.

This simple offer, turned into one of the greatest passions of my life. Bodywork.
