The reason that I chose Massage Therapy as my career is so I can help people feel better about themselves by giving them an alternative method of pain relief as well as relaxation.
I am experienced in providing clients with Swedish Massages, Hot Stone Massages, Deep Tissue Massages as well as many other forms of Massage Therapy.
I graduated from MedSpa Careers Institute in November 2010 with an Associates of Applied Science Degree in Health Science with a concentration in Massage Therapy. I received my VA State and Business Licenses in January 2011. I am certified by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and I am also a member of the AMTA.
