Message from Linda....

"The reason I started on this path was to learn more about this healing career since I experienced this healing touch first hand continuously after my back surgery in 1984, I have never felt better in my own body since. Going to CCMT not only taught me the skills to give a massage but their school taught us the importance of taking care of our own body, mind and soul in order to properly care for others. It was the best decision of my life to pursue this loving and healing career. Please allow me to teach you to get back in touch with your mind, body and soul too! All that fresh oxygen brought into your body with my healing touch will work wonders for you."
