Passion:
I believe that living life to the fullest is synonymous with living passionately and having that vibrance and driving force that makes you get up everyday excited about what's to come. Living your dreams definitely takes a lot of work, dedication, commitment, and sacrifices. I feel blessed to be a part of the massage therapy industry where my work helps many.

Benefits of Massage Therapy
According to Karrie Osborn (Body Sense Autumn/Winter 2009 issue), "Experts say more than 90 percent of disease is stress-related, and nothing ages us faster-inside or out-than the effects of stress."
"Stress might never reach those physiologically detrimental levels where the immune system is suppressed or the nervous system is sent into an alarm state if you are able to receive stress-relieving bodywork with some consistency." To illustrate the effects of receiving massage on a consistent basis, Bob Hope lived to be 100 years old. He supposedly had massage on a daily basis.
