I chose this profession when I was exploring "what I want to do when I grow up."   I knew I wanted to help people feel better without the use of medicine.  So I attended a Discovery Workshop at the local massage therapy school.  Each attendee gave and received a version of the massage demonstration.  I loved every minute of this workshop.  Giving to someone else felt so natural, I just knew this is what I wanted to become.  Of course, receiving a massage was wonderful too!
