From the depths of my earliest memories, the art of massage has held an inexplicable allure for me—whether it be tending to the knots in a beloved pet's fur or easing the tension in a friend's shoulders. It was as though instinct guided me, whispering that this act of touch held transformative power. However, life's journey led me first to embrace the roles of wife and mother before realizing my true calling. At the age of 30, my husband, sensing my latent passion, surprised me with a pivotal gift—an elegant massage table that arrived unannounced at our doorstep. As I assembled it with trembling hands, a profound sense of purpose washed over me, solidifying my resolve. Without hesitation, I seized the opportunity, enrolling in the prestigious massage school I had long admired from afar. Driven by a thirst for knowledge and a desire for excellence, I embarked on this journey of higher learning, determined to transcend the ordinary and emerge with a degree that would validate my dedication to the craft.
