FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am always studying... aromatherapy, BodyTalk, nutrition, and other massage techniques. i add to my toolbox constantly. It also helps to keep on top of things when I am in the process of opening a massage school, and we have to make sure our curriculum is constantly up to date with the latest research, legislation, and techniques.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I have been in hotel management for 20 years, and in alternative medicine for 25 years. I decided about 10 years ago to "marry" the two and become a manager of a spa or wellness center. I was told I had to become a massage therapist or an esthetician, or both, to manage one, so I signed up for massage school... and loved it!
- What types of customers have you worked with?
The most requested treatments are for Swedish and Deep Tissue massage, and for EFT or BodyTalk therapies. I also get asked to teach classes on plant-based nutrition a lot.
