We have two sessions left, and my goal is for you to feel confident and comfortable with everything we’ve covered so far — from your assessment flow to your hands-on technique and communication.

But in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing — someone who’s trained to feel, to listen, and to apply skill with purpose — massage transforms.

It goes from “rubbing muscles” to unlocking patterns of pain. From “relaxing someone” to changing how their body moves.

That’s the power of massage therapy.

It’s not about the technique alone — it’s about the skill behind it.
