SUMMARY
I am looking to apply and develop my extensive massage skills within a progressive spa, institute, or practice with an emphasis
on health and wellness. I’m a flexible, client-focused team player — I have spent the majority of my professional years as a
physical therapist assistant but am now looking forward to focusing more on body work in a less clinical setting. I’d prefer to
think of bodywork as an art form and not just a cut-and-dried medical approach to pain management.
