A love note for the bodyworkers of the world
It has been a great pleasure to be a bodyworker for the last 20 years. I have managed to do what many colleagues have not, namely create a sustainable business offering deep, therapeutic massage that addresses actual pain and dysfunction and do it day after day, week after week without stressing myself or others out in the process.
