Certified Massage Therapist
Previously an investment banker, I often questioned what is the meaning of life. What was the point of what I was doing for living? Who was I really helping? Something just did not feel right. When an opportunity came, I got out of the banking business, and eventually choose to become a massage therapist as I believe it is more fulfilling to help ease the pain of others than to make the riches richer. After graduating from Swedish Institute in Manhattan in December 2006, I proceeded to attain my New York State license in February 2007. I moved to East Bay as instructed by my destiny at the end of the following month.
Through out the last two decades, I learned that there are far, far more to this third dimension that we call reality than how we have perceived it. I have come to realize a few important things in life: 1) Money is not everything, 2) Positive attitude always prevails, 3) Everything happen for reasons, 4) Regardless of what happens, it is what we learned that matters most. I believe we are all here to experience and to learn various lessons. The ultimate goal, I feel, is to achieve the “Unconditional Love”. To do so, we must first be able to “Let Go”, as many aspects of life tend to hold us back. However, in order to be able to let go, we must learn to “Forgive”, not just what troubled us, but more importantly, forgive ourselves that
we have been holding on for so long. The question of, “What have I learned from this?” intertwines, as history bounds to repeat if we did not learned anything, so “Try to do it right the first time by doing our best.”
I do not claim to be a wise old man (still young at heart), though my belief in the reincarnation theory had helped me better understand what partial of our lives is about, thus allows me to step back far enough to see a much bigger picture, that is: “This life is just a tiny field trip throughout a long journey of our soul in various forms across the multi-universe.”
As for this field trip of ours, I offer whatever I can to create a pleasant serenity in your next session for your body, and perhaps gently enlighten you mind to enhance your life experience just a tiny bit! Deep Tissue, Swedish and Sports Massage are on my offer list. Always be positive, because everything happen for reasons.
My warmest wishes to you throughout your field trip.
