Tell us a little about yourself...
Spent the last 21 years as an Aeronautical Life Support Fitter in the RAAF. Grew up in North West NSW but I currently live in Salamander Bay. I began studying massage in 2014 and studied fitness and Bowen Therapy as complimentary treatments.
What made you want to become a Massage Therapist? How did you know it was the right career for you?
Working in a stressful environment and having the experience of being injured , I started receiving regular massages to look after myself. I realised the importance of self care and that ignited my interest in helping others.
