The moment that started it all! When I was 16 I had a wonderful group of friends, there were seven of us girls that were really close. When seven, sixteen year old girls are all friends, there is bound to be a bit of drama, and perhaps an argument or two. There was one girl and I that were working through something or other (I truly don't remember the what or why of our argument, it was almost 14 years ago!) and we happened to take the same bus home on the afternoon I had a massage booked. We silently gave each other glances and never spoke a word to each other the whole ride. I was mad that this was going to ruin my massage, I was really looking forward to getting one. I had been working at a fast food place at the time and I had gotten a massage every chance I got. I walked to the chiropractor clinic that my massage therapist was housed at, all the while thinking about how mad I was.
And then I had a life changing treatment. The massage I had was amazing, it allowed me to meditate and reconnect with myself; while helping to release tension in my back, neck, and arms. An incredible thing happened afterwards, I walked home with a wonderful smile on my face. I felt no more animosity towards my friend, or anything else for that matter. I realised that if I could help someone else feel that way, no matter what was going on in their life, it would be a dream come true. That was when I knew that this was the path I was meant to take.
Peter Pesek was the massage therapist that I saw, he has, unfortunately for me, moved back to Ontario. He helped to shape the therapist that I am, and the treatments I love to give. To him, I am very grateful!
