Over the years, people would say that I have 'magic hands' and eventually I heard them say "have you ever thought of being a massage therapist?". My secondary education was focused on medicine and allied health as I had every intention of becoming a nurse. After after highschool I worked in service jobs for 20+ years in one capacity or another (In quite a few phone service jobs, too...I love the phone!). Maybe my love of the voice was borne from this...or maybe my love for the phone was borne from my love of the power of the Voice!
I finally heard the call to practice massage therapy in 2001. (No, it wasn't from a phone! :))
I began to experience a sense of urgency that I couldn't shake. I HAD to do what my Spirit is called to do: Help others by alleviating their suffering through acts of compassion.
Working in jobs that did not ignite my passion for serving others was no longer satisfying.
The phrase "If not now, then WHEN?" became my mantra. I took an indepth look into my Soul and asked myself one question: "What would I do for the rest of my life for free as if money didn't matter?" What came pouring from that question was so loud: "MASSAGE!".
Of course! I love touch. I love sharing energy with another Spirit. I love to help.
For the last 8 years I have immersed myself in education about various forms of healing and the mind/body/spirit connection via formal education and by reading everything I could get my hands upon. This lead to my interests in diversity and human rights, advocacy, mysticism, philosophy, Shamanism, Buddhism, quantum physics, neuro-linguistics, meditation, manifestation, positive affirmation, spirituality, the power and necessity of compassionate touch, and most of all, Action. During those years, I focused every ounce of my being into co-creating this moment in time. The moment to share...
I am honored and grateful to be able to share my Universal gifts of compassion and to be of service to you.
In Kindness,
