Seventeen years ago, I injured my back doing what I thought was a simple task - shoveling the snow. I didn’t feel any pain right away and went on with my day. However, later that evening, the pain became so intense that I literally could not stand. I would crumple to the floor when I tried to stand up and I was absolutely terrified that I injured myself permanently. After an ambulance ride to the ER and spending two weeks in bed I was finally able to hobble around on crutches in extreme pain. I tried over the counter medications and prescriptions from my doctor but no remedy was working, and I couldn’t get better. I knew I had to try something else. I introduced chiropractic, massage therapy and stretching into my routine and within days I started to feel physically (and emotionally) like myself again. I finally started seeing relief from the extreme pain I had been experiencing. Today I can honestly say that I credit the majority of my healing to massage and consistent stretching.
And that experience changed the course of my life.
I was pursuing a Business Degree, but it didn’t seem to be right for me, I actually hated the classes and wasn’t putting in much effort. I soon discovered my school had a Massage Therapy Program, and I knew it was fate. I immediately transferred to the massage program and fell in love! I began achieving “A” grades in every course and graduated Cum Laude. I fell in love with helping others who were experiencing pain that they didn’t know how to fix. Post-graduation, I worked in a variety of massage therapy environments including Chiropractic offices, where I learned the ins and outs of how Chiropractic and Massage work together to solve so many issues. Starting RENEW You 5 years ago has given me the blessing and opportunity to hone my skills, continue my learning, and most importantly, bring healing and health to my beloved clients.
