THERAPEUTIC MASSAGE FOUND ITS WAY INTO MY LIFE IN MY EARLY TWENTIES AS I SEARCHED FOR A PEACEFUL LIFESTYLE AND CAREER TO HELP MANAGE THE SYMPTOMS OF AN ANXIETY CONDITION THAT HAD STARTED TO PUT A STRAIN ON MY EVERYDAY LIFE.
I TOOK A FRONT DESK JOB AT A HIGH-END DAY SPA, WHERE I MET SEVERAL MASSAGE THERAPISTS WHO ENCOURAGED ME TO LOOK INTO MASSAGE SCHOOLS. I AM SO GLAD I DID. MASSAGE SCHOOL WAS THE PERFECT FIT FOR ME, AND I LOVED EVERYTHING ABOUT IT.AS I DUG DEEPER INTO MY STUDIES, I DISCOVERED THAT EASTERN MASSAGE TECHNIQUES AND THEORY PULLED AT MY HEART, AND BEING ABLE TO CARE FOR OTHERS IN SUCH A PRECISE WAY WITHIN THE FRAMEWORK AYURVEDA PROVIDES, INSPIRES THE PITTA IN ME—YOU’LL LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT LATER!
THE BEAUTY IN RITUAL-STYLE BODYWORK AND OTHER OLD-WORLD HEALING SYSTEMS LIKE AYURVEDA IS PROFOUND. WORKING WITH OTHERS TOWARD WELLNESS GIVES ME A SENSE OF “BEING IN THE FLOW.”
I LOVE CREATING A HAVEN AWAY FROM THE BUSY WORLD, AND FOR ME, IT CONTINUES TO BE AN HONOR TO DO THIS TYPE OF WORK.I BELIEVE THAT IT’S HARD TO THRIVE WHEN WE’RE STUCK IN A LIFESTYLE THAT DOESN’T ALLOW FOR REST, A VITAL PART OF STAYING WELL.
BY SHARING AYURVEDIC HEAD MASSAGE WITH YOU IN THIS BOOK, I HOPE TO INSPIRE YOU AND GIVE YOU TOOLS TO CREATE A SENSE OF PEACE IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
