FAQs
- What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Yes. I attend seminars to keep my certification current & trade notes with other therapists on a regular basis.
- How did you get started doing this type of work?
I was in a corporate environment & part of my job was to pressure people into getting things done. I never felt good about applying that pressure. I wanted to have a positive impact on people rather than negative & I had always been interested Massage Therapy. I already had a good working knowledge of anatomy & physiology having worked as both an EMT and as a Personal Trainer so I looked into school & haven't looked back.
- What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Ask specific questions about his or her experience. I know some very good Massage Therapists who are right out of school, but experience is important as well. It is safe to assume that a therapist who has been in the field for many years loves their work, as Massage Therapy is very physically demanding for the therapist.
