"My parents divorced when I was 5, so growing up it was just my mom and I. She worked a full-time job while going to college full-time, but she never missed one of my choir concerts, band concerts, plays, or games I was cheering at. She was my biggest supporter. When she was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer, a massage therapist was the only person who could help manage her pain.
I went with her twice a week to her appointments 30 miles away, until the therapist told her he would teach me so I could help her at home and save us some money. I was 15, and my passion for bodywork was born.
I started massage school in August of 2001, fresh out of high school and eager to follow my dream. We didn't have much money, but my mom had secretly saved up for 3 years to buy me the best massage table she could afford. Together, we chose my Custom Craftworks Athena Table, and chose the additions we wanted so it would be the perfect table. She passed away before it arrived, but it was the last (and best) thing she ever bought me.
15 years later, it is still my perfect table. Each one of my thousands of clients who have found some comfort on my table have reminded me of the love and support I had in my mother, and helping them helps me to remember why I do what I do. Like the massage therapist who helped her find comfort, I strive to help others find comfort as well."
