"It's a Calling, Not a Job"
"It's a Calling, Not a Job"
Even though I had been working with people experiencing complex medical issues for the majority of my career as a Certified Massage Therapist, it wasn't until I trained specifically in Oncology Massage that I recognized I had been CALLED to work with the Cancer Community. Serving people during one of the most vulnerable times in their lives is a humbling and deeply gratifying experience. I truly LOVE what I do and am honored to be blessed with the trust of beautiful people who allow me to participate in the creation of their long-term health and well-being.
