I worked in the logistics industry for the past 14 years. It became obvious to me, that repetitive actions were a direct cause of chronic injuries for myself and my fellow workers. After I suffered a neck, and shoulder injury in 2011, I was unable to work for at least week . My father, a holistic healer in California, was able to heal my injuries, and manage the pain.  After experiencing the power of therapeutic work in my own life, I wanted to help others understand they don't always have to suffer through painful injuries, or surgeries. After I graduated from HACC's Massage Therapy Program in 2019, I often offered to work on my coworkers in order to practice my craft. I soon realized if I wasn't careful, they would be reliant on my massage, as they were reliant on conventional treatments. It wouldn't solve the long-term problem either. To address this issue, I started educating my friends, and coworkers on the workings of their bodies, this way they could help me by helping themselves. Now that I have established my own practice, I offer this same knowledge and service to any who seek a different way to manage their pain and take care of their body.
