A little about Margaret

We store both emotional and physical stress in our bodies. While massage therapy works out the physical muscle tension, it also releases the emotional tension and stress. Sometimes lifes issues come up and I find it especially fulfilling when I have the opportunity to pray with someone about whatever has been troubling them. The best part about being a massage therapist is helping people release all the emotional and physical stress that often come during hard times.

How and why I became a massage therapist
My 1st experience with massage was many years ago when I was a hairdresser. My boss was literally hunched over with back pain and couldn’t stand up to work. I felt terrible for her so I gave her a foot massage just to make her feel a little better. I had no expectation that it would help her back pain but lo and behold it did. She was up and able to finish the day. That always amazed me and stuck with me.
Many years later I moved on from being a hairdresser and had taken on a new career as a data analyst. After years of sitting over a computer I managed to injure my neck. It was a pinched nerve which caused numbness and pain down my arm. I saw a doctor, chiropractor, physical therapist, and a massage therapist. The massage along with other non-evasive treatments gave me so much relief. It wasn’t much longer after that when I made the final decicion to go to school to become a massage therapist. I know God wanted me to be a massage therapist. I love working in a place that allows me to connect with my clients and openly pray when the opportunity arises.

Hobbies:
If I had the money, I would love to travel all over. But since that’s not an option at the moment, I love spending time outside. My happy place is the beach. I love listening to the waves crash onto the shore, the birds calling out to one another and feeling the sand between my toes.
