Massage Envy - Lead Therapist

The experience I've gathered for massage therapy began before even knowing that would become my career. When I was a child giving my family massages was something that happened regularly specially for my mother and grandmother and from there it began. Working in the service industry and food industry since high school. Customer service was a part of the training that was installed into me along with how much I care about my work made a recipe for it to become natural. After working in that industry for over 7 years I decided to do something different and in that massage therapy came up several times. My first workplace for massage was two different spas. Massage envy and Terminal Getaway Spa in the airport giving chair massages. I wanted to become well rounded in many different types of massage and practice makes the beginner grow fast. It quickly showed as I landed a position as lead therapist in the office of Massage Envy and in Terminal Getaway Spa I was able to climb to making the most tips and having repeat clientele that traveled through Charlotte regularly. During the first year I took different classes Aromatherapy, Prenatal massage, Sport massage, Hot Stone massage and reiki. Learning a lot of different styles kept me growing and realized that I was needing to finally take the plunge and go to Thailand to study Thai massage. In 2013 finally saved enough money to travel and take the class. The class was a five level course that certified me in Thai massage therapy along with a few more modalities like Thai herbal massage, Thai foot massage and Tok Sen massage. I continue to grow not only with continued education but a new found passion for using natural plants from the amazon that assist in healing the body and mind from trauma, chronic illness, depression and much more.
