Massage Therapy: A Success Story
“Like many African-American women and girls, I struggled with obesity, leading a lifestyle of physical inactivity and poor nutrition.

It’s an amazing feeling to have someone who comes in with a mobility issue, and after my work they have much more range of motion than what they came in with. It’s a lot of fun, and every time they come see me they’re in a better mood because they’re seeing and feeling the results of the work we’re doing together.”
