I always wanted to help people since I was young I always tried to give my dad a massage cause his shoulders hurt from his job as a construction worker. Now that im older i want to help my dad and my home town in Alaska called Metlakatla. If anyone wants to get a massage they have to travel of the island to get it which can cause more stress and maybe anxiety in some people. My goal is to open my own practice in my town and make it easier for the people there to get help.
