Why Massage Therapy?  Out of all the careers out there, why this one?  To put it simply, I wanted to help people.  I knew I didn't want to help by pushing pills.  And I certainly didn't want to do it with multiple prescriptions.  I worked in healthcare for 17 years, and it started bothering me that I wasn't helping enough.  This eventually brought me anger and frustration, which led to stress and anxiety.  I started making myself sick.  I knew it was time to get out.

It was suggested to me, that I look into learning Massage.  Massage is among the most relaxing and soothing sensations one can experience. However, the benefits of a good rubdown go beyond relaxation and run deeper than you might think.

A recent study that appeared in the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) publication indicates that 50% of adults who saw a professional massage therapist in the past year did so for medical or health reasons. In contrast, only 28% of massage consumers sought massage for relaxation or stress reduction during the same period. So why are so many patients turning to massage therapy? Let’s review the health benefits to find out.

1. stress relief
2. reduces anxiety
3. eases muscle tension
4. improves overall sleep quality
5. promotes greater relaxation

If you've been considering massage therapy, please reach out with any questions you may have.  

I look forward to helping you "reset"!
