History:
I received a BA and a MA in English literature with the intention of becoming a high school English teacher. I joined the Peace Corps after graduate school and served 27 months in Nepal as an English teacher and teacher trainer. When I returned to the US I moved to Newport, RI and began my life as an English teacher. After less than 6 months I knew that teaching was not the career for me. I have a personality more like a camp counselor than a teacher, and I didn't stand a chance in the classroom. I re-thought my values and interests and decided to move to Colorado and go to massage school. I haven't looked back since. I love my job!!!
I moved from Colorado to Miami Beach in 2003 and began my career as a massage therapist by working in different spas and traveling to people's homes. By the time I had my first child in '06, I had established a secure number of regular clients and decided to go out on my own. In June of '07 I left the spa world and opened "The Massage Room." I have been happily running my own business since.
