The following provides you with some insight into me as a massage therapist, and as an individual. My intention is not to share every detail, but to bring forth some key points and snapshots of my history. These will give a glimpse into what has brought me here to this point in my life. So for the next 4-5 minutes bare with me as I introduce myself to you and share my brief story.
The first area is probably the hardest to believe..spending 30 years in the warehousing industry. I know, right?? How do you go from all those years of warehousing to massage??; you might ask. Well, back in 1979 is when I received my first warehouse job, and what I really enjoyed about warehousing is that there was a variety of things to do to keep me engaged, as well as, working with my hands and driving anything that had forks on it! But most of all, not being cooped up in an office!
For 8 1/2 years I held this job, and ended up managing the warehouse, and it was my longest employment at one job. For sure the future held a few more driving jobs, lots of forklifting, inside sales and some outside sales. About mid career, I began thinking: “is this really what I want to be doing for the rest of my life”. Fast forward to 2009, I was laid off from my final warehousing gig, and never looked back.
Concerning the next area of “keyhole” events in my life, these are the more personal ones; I do not talk much about martial arts and energy work because sometimes they can be misunderstood. Martial arts has always been an interest since I was a young boy. Becoming a martial artist started back in the late eighties, and then that part of my life ended in the late nineties. My two favorite studies were the Philippine and Indonesian arts because of the style of movement. For 10 years I traveled, trained, co-owned a school, taught seminars and earned multiple black belts, but eventually it became apparent to me that I was becoming burned out and I needed to stop. Even though a number of years have passed since then, the muscle memory still lives on and my love for the arts and energy work will never leave me. All in all, I will just say that I’m a master of nothing, and a student of everything.
These areas in my life carry a lot of weight in my massage practice. Well, maybe not so much the warehousing, but certainly my martial arts and energy work history are used a fair amount. Anywhere from my stance work and leveraging from the table, to sensing areas of tightness and how it effects my client. Also, keeping myself grounded has played a vital role, so there are no energetic side affects when I leave my office.
All of this leads to where I left off with my 2009 layoff from warehousing. At that time, I had never even considered being a massage therapist, but with some encouragement from friends who thought I had the gift, I did a complete 180 and went back to school to prepare for a career in massage therapy, with the anticipation of what I hoped would be a fulfilling new adventure. My graduation with honors from Everest Institute in September 2010 launched me onto my new path. It took me a couple years to fully appreciate my decision, but it has truly been a gift, and I’m very happy the winds of change prevailed.
It’s amazing for me to see what has come from my combined history of martial arts, energy work and massage therapy. It has created a triangle of bodywork experience that has truly been a blessing for me and for others. I never thought in a bazillion (is that how that’s spelled?) years that through my experiences I would be able to touch thousands of people in a way that brings healing to their lives, and it is something I hold sacred.
My ultimate hope is that when you see my picture somewhere, you’ll be able to say: “hey, I know that guy, and he really helped me!”
