How I became a massage therapist.
My husband has lived life with on and off back problems. One day I was online visiting YouTube and happened across some short videos on massage technique. I watched for about an hour and then asked my husband if he would mind if I tried some of the things I saw on him and he agreed. So I had him lay across the bed and I got my bottle of hand lotion and started using the techniques I saw in the videos on him. It was difficult without a massage table. I was only able to work on him for about a half hour. When he got up from the bed I asked him how his back felt and he said "amazingly good".
In the next few days I decided to purchase a massage table and another technique video. I placed the order. I hadn't received the table or video yet but began thinking. Hhhmmm what if I were to find a school that would work with my work schedule and I could learn the real way to do massage properly. Then I could not only help my husband but I could help others as well. I did find a school that would meet my criteria. Arizona School of Massage Therapy. I still worked a full time job as well as went to school. A year later I was a licensed massage therapist and the rest is history. I greatly enjoy helping heal peoples bodies through massage therapy and hope you will come visit.
