I've been in the massage field for about 2 years now which i know isn't long and I enjoy reading about improving my skills every day and ofcoures educating those who know very little to nothing about the field and hope to start traveling next yr with my passion for massage.

As I was looking to see if she made comments to other therapist, she sent others the same email.  Just Beware!!!!!
