What she has enjoyed the most about her career, is the ability to help others, especially when they have not been successful in finding other treatments that help the issue they may be having. She also enjoys being able to help someone destress and fully relax from everyday stressors. It’s a career she would highly recommend to anyone who has the desire to help others!
