With a father in the military, I moved constantly between birth and 3 when he retired. Since then, my entire life has been lived on the west coast, with me finally coming home to Oregon in 1974.

I gave my first massages at the age of 5 to an elderly neighbor while standing on the top of his porch with him sitting several steps down. He was so appreciative, I would rub his shoulders until I thought my little fingers would fall off.

I took my first massage class in 1978 at Lane Community College. Honestly, I did it to get cheap weekly massage with a friend. But, it was like a light bulb went off in that class: I have never flet like I belonged to something like I did in that class, and in doing every massage I have done since.

Having a good paying job at the time, I was reluctant to make a change. So, I took total of 4 massage classes from LCC, and just worked on friends. It took me 11 years to get over my doubts and become a licensed massage therapist. It was the best choice of my life.
