About the Author

With nearly 18 years as a self employed massage therapist I have seen and heard enough to fill a book. So I decided to do just that. I've worked closely with chiropractors, other massage therapists and physical therapists to gain an even broader view of the body. Schools sometimes graduate students without fully preparing them for what the real massage world is like. Clients can offer great fodder for stories. When I think about all the people I have worked on I realize that I want to share those stories and experiences with other therapists to make their job easier. We all need a leg up now and then. So I am sharing what I know anecdotally. I hope that you find the humor in these tips and anecdotes and also in your own experiences with your own clients. Some of my best stories come from volunteering at local relay events in my township and also through working with the high school kids who play football, soccer and are very active in cheerleading. Getting involved has really expanded my clientele. What a great clientele I have too. They have voted for me in the Philly Hot List and I won 2nd and 3rd places in consecutive years.
