Hello,
Today I’m going to fill you in on how I became a Massage Therapist.
In September 2000,I was teaching music and was in a car accident. During impact, my shoulder crashed up against the side pillar of my car and injured the joint. I was in a great deal of pain and saw a friend who was a massage therapist the following day. He worked on my shoulder and eased a great deal of the pain. I regularly saw a massage therapist after until my shoulder recovered.
Over the next few years, the idea of being a massage therapist was lurking in the back of my mind until in 2003 I decided to take a basic massage course to see if I liked it. I didn’t like it. I loved it.
At the end of the introduction course, I asked for an application to study for the Diploma of Remedial Massage. I chose to study part-time at night, which when I enrolled would take me two years to complete. At some stage during the course, the school decided it would be better if the part timers completed the course in three years. So at the end of 2006 I finished the course.
At that point I had planned on working as a massage therapist part time and working my normal job during the day for a year, returning to study the following year. What I didn’t know was that I was pregnant and the rest is history.
I love my work and my clients and I’m very glad I took the chance on a completely different career.
Em.
