People do often ask “how did you get into massage therapy”? Like many other therapists I’ve known over the years, I fell into it quite by surprise. I had already completed 2 years of college, with no inspiring goals or ideas of what I wanted to be when I grew up. I was into fitness as a hobby and was doing quite a bit of strength training at the time (2001) and ended up with a minor neck injury. A friend recommended a chiropractor she’d been seeing, so I became a patient as well. He recommended massage therapy, and immediately a light of curiosity flipped on. I did get my first massage ever after that, and it was pretty ok as I recall…but more than that something clicked. I realized instantly this was something I wanted to pursue as a career. The following year I enrolled in a massage therapy program, graduated in 2003, and here I am still today doing the work that I love and find so rewarding!
