                                                         BIO  
 
      I was born and raised in the country in upstate N.Y.  As a teen and while attending college,  I worked summers as a bar tender (the legal age way back then was 18),  a Lifeguard and a swim instructor.  I credit bartending for my superb people skills.  Those under the influence and dependant on you for alcohol are the perfect subjects in which to hone in and perfect these skills.   After graduating high school, I  attended college in New York where I earned an associates degree in the  Medical Laboratory Sciences.  From there, I shuffled off  to Buffalo (yes I actually did shuffle, it was grueling) where I received a Bachelors in Forensics.  
     After working in a Crime Lab and a Cell Culture Media Company in Buffalo, I left for a job in Richmond, Virginia where I worked for a Medical Reference Lab.  I took a transfer to work in the  Florida Keys for a year and then transferred to Orlando, where I worked as a Medical  laboratory  supervisor for 8 years.   Boredom and monotony set in and I  decided Massage School would be a great diversion.   I attended The Orlando Institute in the spring of 1996 and received my Massage license in the fall.  I continued to work at the Lab and do Massage until the summer of 1999  when I left the Lab and focussed on  Massage full time.  Since getting licensed in Massage, I have  received certification in Neuromuscular Therapy and Personal Training and taken courses in Myoskeletal Alignment Techniques, Myofascial release, and aromatherapy to name a few.  

I am a vegetarian    I choose this diet not because of the health benefits (although it is an added perk), but because of the way factory farms (mis)treat the animals we consume.   I personally feel if people were educated about  the neglect, anxiety, torture and mutilation these animals (sentient beings)  go though for our benefit (for a lack of a better word) it would end a lot of needless suffering.  I grew up on a "farm", only my ducks, horses and cows were pets and when given the opportunity, behaved just as many peoples dogs do.
