Accomplishments

I have many accomplishments throughout the years but the one I am very proud of mostly is building my own massage business from the ground up. It continues to grow at a steady pace and im looking forward to the next chapter which is teaching Ashiatsu to other massage therapists to help them prolong their career.

Additional Information

I will be providing students with all the tools, equipment, and supplies they need to learn and perform Ashiatsu which includes a self written manuel, and plenty of practice time to help perfect this modality.
