Hello, my name is Steve Jacobson.
Information about my massage is mentioned below:
How I got into Massage:
Twelve years ago, I lived in Orlando and
had the opportunity to get my first full body massage. It was Awesome!
Little did the therapist know that he had set me on a course to learn this.
Shortly after that, my mom started to become very Ill with Lymphoma
(Cancer). Massaging her hands and feet seemed to provide more benefit
sometimes than the medication she was on for pain. I also had the
opportunity to work on many of my Aunts to help relieve stress. The
power of touch was all too apparent. I just had to get into it!
I've been doing massage for 5 years and
suspect that it will be a part-time or full-time vocation for the rest of my
life. I'll also be dedicated to finding new alternative health
measures to help other individuals whether its is through massage, nutrition
or other health restoration techniques.
My Schooling:
I've been certified in California at the
National Holistic Institute. The
program lasted a year and I completed 720 hours of massage. The school
primarily taught Swedish,
Deep Tissue and Shiatsu
massage. We also had classes in Thai, Lymphatic Drainage and Energy
Massage. While at school I had the opportunity to work with AIDS
patients in a hospice in downtown San Francisco.
In Florida I became Licensed by attending
Palm Beach Academy of Massage in Palm
Beach Gardens. I highly recommend this school to anyone thinking of a
career in massage.
