I began my studies of massage, meditation and integrative healing therapies in 2005 and I received my massage therapy license in April 2008. I managed a massage therapy clinic for 3 1/2 years and have worked hands on full time as a licensed practitioner since July 2011. I have been practicing the ancient pranayama breath meditation for 5 years, and it has helped me focus my energy into effectively creating the positive lifestyle I want to live.
