We each have a reason, our "it" factor that drew us to a healing profession. Mine was my eldest daughter, who was born with clubfeet and autism. She had a massage at 8 days old. Soon after, I completed my training in order to continue the care that the massage therapist had gifted to her.
Over the course of 15 years, I have opened Angels Service so that the lessons she taught me could be shared and that those with disabilities could receive the same loving care that she did, not just from my own hands but from all of us.
