About She Got Hands Massage

My journey to massage therapy started with my childhood. I was raised in Florida by a single father alongside my older brother, and I grew up learning that touch could be a simple way to comfort someone who was hurting. My father dealt with back problems, and I would often use massage to help him feel more comfortable. As I got older, my life took me through foster care, family changes, military school, military service, and eventually an overseas deployment at a very young age. I experienced loss, instability, homelessness, and other challenges that forced me to learn how to keep moving forward even when I did not always know what came next. Through those experiences, I continued to find myself naturally using massage to help people around me, including fellow service members. After leaving the military, I worked different jobs and eventually made my way from Florida to North Carolina, where I began rebuilding my life.

For a long time, survival was my focus. Eventually, I realized I wanted to build something that belonged to me and gave me a positive direction. After receiving my VA disability rating, I enrolled in massage school in North Carolina and started building She Got Hands Massage while completing my education. I created my own website, promoted my services independently, and learned how to build a business through experience, mistakes, persistence, and a lot of trial and error. I eventually became a North Carolina Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist. Today, I see massage as more than a career, it is a skill that has been part of my life for many years. I provide professional bodywork within my scope of practice and am now taking She Got Hands Massage into its next chapter by transitioning toward event-based massage services for organizations, communities, workplaces, celebrations, and private events.
