How I Became a Massage Therapist and Why I Love It.
Why am I a
massage therapist?
I will limit my introduction to my experiences with healing arts.
The first part of my life, which now feels more like a past life, I lived in the USSR. I earned my Master Degree in Russian Language and Literature and taught at University for a while. Due to political reasons, I had to quit. It was then that I decided to become a massage therapist. I spent a few months at the state hospital as an apprentice. Shortly after, I moved to the United States.
Several years passed while I was busy trying to adjust to my new country. I changed few jobs, trying to climb a corporate ladder, you know, from a dishwasher to a waitress, the typical immigrant path. I went to college, studied programming and web design and became a legal technical consultant.
Yet, something was missing. When I grew closer to my forties my fear of growing old made me I question my life, the usual, how little I achieved, how I wasted my life...
Forward another few years of soul searching, I earned my first
Reiki
Degree from a wonderful traditional Reiki Master, Terry Rogers. Although I had no confidence in myself, I was amazed by the incredible relief this new energy flowing through my hands brought to my loved ones when they were in pain. So I went back and received a second degree
attunement.
More people I got to put my hands on, more wonderful results I saw, some short of miracle. I was hooked. By then I knew, I wasn’t the one doing healing, I let Devine to flow through me. I became a Master Reiki. I also attended a massage school and received my massage therapist national certification.
During my trip to Esalen, CA, I studied Spiritual massage with incredible Brazilian healers, Maria Lucia Bittencourt Sauer and her sister, Aparasita Sauer. In my practice, I found this healing technique amazingly powerful. I continue my study with Maria Lucia. I took a Spiritual Anatomy workshop in Lily Dale, NY with one of the best spiritual healers in the world, Tom Cratsley and was honored to serve in Lily Dale Healing Temple.
I continue to study healing arts, I love it!
Healing is a natural high for me. During the healing session, I feel euphoria and frankly don’t know who benefits more, the person receiving healing or myself.
I thank everyone I’ve ever treated and those who are yet to come for letting me experience the bliss like no other!
