#1 Why did you choose massage therapy as your major?

-
The primary reason I choose massage therapy for doing massage therapy was to legally practice shiatsu and have my who practice; as I sit here writing this and I do have other people who can benefit from massage and massage therapy.

My wife and mother both have cancer and are recovering and my father has a lot of health issues.  Also, people keep coming to me for help.

I have a friend who I help deal with alcohol addiction, another friend who has issues with his back and headaches, and another friend who I help her out her minor health issues and treat her son.

I guess because even if not practicing I still find people coming to me, so I guess I should have as many tools as possible to help them.  I never charge money..lol. I sometimes forgot to collect the money for the students for martial arts training.

Over the last year, I have been taking notes on how to use martial arts to healing the body, I have completed my reiki master program; so guess I also wanted to learn as much as I can to help me with my research and creating my martial arts, meditation, and healing center.

I also want to make my own hours and have a little more freedom.

I enjoy it very much.   I lately with trying to reduce my weight and get back into shape so I have a lot of back and leg pain from change and weight and exercising. I really do not usually experience images, or feels, I am usually more focus on relaxing.  I don't get to relax to often, When I leave school I usually have to get to work, I work from home so then cook dinner and then find time to study, so time I need to teach a martial arts class. Any relaxation and rest is much appreciated.

#6 What have you learned so far that has been unexpected? What did not surprise you? How have your ideas about massage therapy and massage school changed since the first day of class?

What I have learned that was unexpected? Is that I enjoy Western-style massage and have a deeper understanding of it. In all honesty, I was going to pay much attention to it.  I started off in Eastern-style Massage I had no interest in learning western methods, I never like the western approach to thought and the body, and nature of the spirit is to remove their ideas unless you're religious. But now understand their needs a balance to have to view the healing work I would like to do. What surprised me is much more western and eastern methods can overlap and give an overall approach to healing the body. My ideas about massage as a therapy have not changed much, I would they expanded more changed, I accept new techniques and ideas. I only I think is maybe I should have waited so long to go massage, I put off for 20 years I study and tried friends and family, but this could a better way to stay independent and continue working my way through school then spend...
