"When people ask me ‘what was it like massaging on a cruise ship?’ All I think is: where do I start? ‘Galaxy’ is the name of the ship, ‘Celebrity’ is the Cruise Line. Ever see the series ‘The Cruise’? That’s the ship I worked on. In Alaska we’d dog sled or relax at a restaurant and munch on fresh salmon. In the Caribbean we’d shop, rest on the beach or get the adrenaline going by free falling.

I’ve talked to many therapists Internationally and Australia-wide, and the more people I meet, the more grateful I am that I chose such a wonderful and professional massage College to teach me all the fundamentals of massage and how to start out my career as a Massage Therapist."
