As a kid, everyone asks you, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” I switched my answer every year I was asked; nothing ever really stood out to me.
Everything changed when my friend told me about a wonderful massage she had received. She had been in a car accident a couple of weeks before and was dealing with whiplash and back pain. She was tired of taking ibuprofen, and to be honest, I was tired of suggesting it.
I remember seeing her the day after her massage, and she seemed lighter and more at ease. It was then that she told me how it made a world of difference. She swore that she hadn’t taken an ibuprofen all day. After seeing her groggy and in pain for weeks, I was skeptical that something as simple as a massage could make that much of a difference. She told me I had to go and see for myself, so I booked an appointment—and I realized how wrong I had been.
Discovering the Power of Massage Therapy
I, like many others, had underestimated the benefits of massage. The experience was amazing, and I was hooked. I went online and began to look up massage schools. I knew this would be my way of helping others in a way where I could see immediate results and satisfaction.
When I did my research, I was shocked to discover that at schools like CalCopa, I could become a licensed massage therapist in as little as 6.5 months. I began the process of enrolling right away.
