Why did I become a therapist?

It all started when a senior colleague gave me some advice. She said, “It’s always good to have a skill you can rely on.” I thought I should study something I was genuinely interested in, so I decided to learn massage. At first, there were times when I thought I wasn’t suited to this work. But as I began working with aromatherapy and massage oils, I discovered that this was my true calling. My journey into Ayurveda began after I experienced the loss of a beloved pet. I traveled to India, and I fell in love with the country and its culture. That experience inspired me to start studying Ayurveda. Since then, I have traveled to India and Sri Lanka many times to deepen my knowledge and experience. Today, I am happy to offer treatments inspired by two beautiful traditions: Hawaiian Lomi Lomi massage and Indian Ayurvedic therapy. For me, this work is more than just massage. It’s about helping people relax, restore their balance, and feel better both physically and emotionally.
