I had the rare opportunity to join this world by providing sports massage to the artists and crew backstage at the Kà Theatre inside the MGM Grand.

After graduating from my massage program, I had a two-month waiting period for my massage license to process. I am horrible at sitting still, so instead of pacing in circles I decided to travel to visit a friend in Stavanger, Norway. Of course, I had to book bodywork while I was there. I found Triangle Studio Stavanger and scheduled a 90-minute session with an MFR therapist named Carlynn.

Reflecting on my journey through the massage program at the European Massage Therapy School, I know that I wouldn’t have made it without my tribe. The support from my family, friends, classmates, and instructors has been invaluable.

I'll always remember the milestone of earning my first tip. While it may seem small, this moment is a significant milestone in my professional journey as a licensed massage therapist in Las Vegas.
