What inspired you to become a massage therapist?
I became a massage therapist because I have always been interested in working in a profession that allows me to be involved in athletics. I have been carrying back pain as well and this is another reason why I was interested in working with the body.
What is your favorite type of massage to give and receive?
My favorite is therapeutic massage. In terms of modality, I do like the elements of Thai Massage. I like receiving therapeutic work as well since the profession requires me to be feeling good.
What do you love most about being a massage therapist?
I love to see my clients happy and relaxed at the end of the session. That drives me to keep providing the best service I can.
What got you interested in receiving massages initially?
In terms of why I first got interested in receiving massage, I was trying to try a new way to alleviate pain I was having.
What can clients expect from a session with you?
A session with me consists of checking in on how my client is feeling and what needs to be addressed. You can expect some stretches with my background in Thai Massage, and you might enjoy my slow pace too. I can give a good firm pressure, but I can always go as light as needed.
Can you share a memorable moment from your career so far?
Some of my favorite moments so far are helping a client finally go to sleep comfortably after weeks of pinched nerve pain; and working on a client who was initially not aware that I was a male, but after giving me a chance, the client complimented me that I have such soft hands and the massage was better than any she has ever had, even though she frequently receives one at a famous hotel in Colorado Springs!
What are some of your hobbies outside of work?
Watching various soccer (football) games and going on quiet drives.
How do you take care of yourself to prevent injury as a massage therapist?
I have noticed how easily I can get hurt from giving massage. I personally feel that I’m a bit more injury prone than others, so that potential threat of getting hurt motivates me to take care of myself. Every night, I go through a whole body stretching/foam rolling routine. I plan on improving my eating habits and fitness as well. Mentally, I tell myself not to stress about things I have no control over such as other people’s driving habits and traffic.
