I started doing massage at the age of 5 thanks to a mother who loved getting her shoulders rubbed. Later in life, after 8 years in the Marine Corp, I decided to have a career that I loved, that made a difference and helped people. Using my GI Bill, I went to massage school for a 720 hour program in Emeryville CA and started working in a local spa in 2002. 23 years later, I've been working in my private practice for the last 15 years as my full time gig.
