Summary
After 15 years as a massage therapist I began to look into other certifications that might provide me with longevity in the healing arts as the day-to-day physical stresses of the profession were beginning to take their toll me.
The Level 1 certification in Fascia Stretch Therapy that I completed in October 2023 allows me to use my body in a totally different way to elicit relaxation responses and relief from tension, stress and pain in my clients that has been amazing to witness.
I have every intention of going on to complete the Level 2 and 3 certifications that are offered.
