Hi! My name is Celeste Kaufman, I am a graduate of Cortiva Institute completed in April 2016.  I have a bachelor's degree from Northern Arizona University in Hotel & Restaurant Management. I have 15+ years customer service experience in hospitality.  Of which, 5 years in management and 6 years in sales. I have wanted to be a massage therapist ever since I graduated college, but I was encouraged to pursue my career in restaurant management.  It was a good career for me at the time.  I decided later that I wanted to have a family and the 60-hour work week in the restaurant industry wouldn't allow me the time to spend with family, so went into the insurance industry.  After working for more than 6 years in insurance I became plagued with migraines.  I started to take a holistic approach to my wellness which prompted my decision follow up on my desire to become a massage therapist, that was put on hold so long ago.     I'm grateful everyday for being able to help people feel better, for the flexibility to spend time with my family, while still being able to provide. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family.  We love camping, fishing; anything in the great outdoors!
