I enrolled in the Tennessee School of Therapeutic Massage to help people in a different way. Since beginning my journey into Massage Therapy, I have learned many things including Swedish, deep tissue, sports massage, and neuromuscular therapy of the cervical spine, and also enjoy incorporating stretching into each session.
