Two major reasons for my career choice was (1.) The human body fascinates me and holistic healing has always intrigued me. (2.) The flexibility of it. Being able to work around my family.
There is a lot more work to be done once my work day is over. There’s cleaning sheets, re-filling lotions, cleaning, confirmation reminders, taking phone calls/scheduling appointments (this is on any given day of the week). Every two years as a L.M.T. 25 hours of massage related courses MUST be taken to keep our license up. Although I strive to take more to stay current.
In no way shape or form is this pity party. Choosing my career path is everything I knew it would be. The spirituality and accomplishments I receive from my clients are rewarding! I am coming up on my 6th year as a massage therapist and hope that I can continue on this journey. The average life expectancy of a L.M.T. is 3-5 years due to how physically demanding it is. I take this into consideration and use my own advice. I work on the opposite muscle groups that I am over using w/exercise, eating healthy, and get a massage at least every two weeks.
I understand that massages come at price. That’s way we do our best to be fair to everyone! I make it a point to check out my competition every year, and re-evaluate if need be. Think of it this way this is natural healing. You do not have to pump foreign substances into your body!
Shannon is very professional and knows how to get you relaxed. I've done deep tissue massage, hot stone and the matrix. Deep tissue was awesome, she really knows how to get deep into those tangled muscles and gets you going. Hot stone was very soothing as well, the warmth of it really helps your muscles relax and release the tension. I recommend her and give her 5 stars!!
