             A journey is a trip taken in either physical or spiritual space which causes the traveler to grow, change, and/ or evolve in some fashion.  Each of us is on our own journey.  I believe no matter where my journey leads me I am on the path that was designed for me.  I spent nearly a decade of my life being a caregiver of my beloved family.  During this time on my journey I learned the importance of self care and the benefits it gave me in regards to providing better care for my family.  Being a caregiver is stressful and taxing.  I set out to learn ways to help diminish some of the stress in my life. On my journey I found the wonderful world of alternative health options.  I began to focus on ways to improve self care routines.  Eventually, I added massage therapy to my self care plan.  I was able to see the positive effects massage had on my mind and body.  I then began to investigate the possibilities of massage therapy and its benefits for my disabled sister.  My sister was spastic quadriplegic and had a host of other disabilities.  The aging changes occurring in her body's cells, tissues, and organs were affecting the functioning of all body systems.  The positive effects and comfort massage provided my sister greatly improved her quality of life.  Initially, I went to school to learn the techniques which would best suit my sister's needs.  I wanted to provide the best care and comfort I could.  I became licensed and invested in massage because while I was on this journey I realized my path was leading me to my purpose.  I now learn, provide, teach and promote wellness through massage.  Through my journey, I was able to help my family in ways I did not dream possible.  Nor, could I have imagined how effective they would be.  I have set out on a new journey to help others implement massage into their daily lives, learn to become more mindful of their minutes, reduce stress and enjoy life a little more, no matter what the circumstances might be everyone can benefit from a little self care and massage.
