The Art of Massage

My mentor/teacher referred to massage therapy as a high art which to me meant that which is practiced at a high level, invoking a higher power. As a practitioner. I'm helping facilitate healing/recovery as well as relieving stress to hopefully manage a better quality of life.

I came to this practice after a job layoff. A massage therapist had asked me if I had ever thought about doing massage, that the profession needed male therapists. She planted a seed in my head. Having an interest in a more holistic approach to medicine, learning about the human body and being of help to people, I decided to enroll in a program.

My former occupation was as a technical/commerical artist and on the side as a fine artist. I found my passion. As an artist I'm working with my hands applying The Art of Massage to help my clients relax, reduce muscular tension and pain.
