Hello Everyone.

I'm Val. I am a massage therapist that loves everything that has to do with nature, especially natural health.

I have been in private practice and also been an instructor for close to 20 years. In that time I have taught just about every subject that has to do with massage therapy.

I am a very curious person and enjoy learning about how our bodies work from a natural perspective.

I have a Master's Degree in Art, as well as extensive education and experience in many natural health practices that include Massage Therapy and Bodywork. I also enjoy many related topics such as: nutrition, meditation, yoga, and martial arts.

My current occupation is teaching anatomy and physiology, as well as pathology, and other topics at a massage therapy school in North Carolina. I also teach continuing education classes for working massage therapist professionals. And, to top it all off, I have my own private practice that specializes in Thai massage and Neuromuscular therapy.

One of the reasons why I enjoy contributing to WikiAnswers is that it helps me practice my teaching skills by answering Massage Therapy and Human Anatomy questions. Of course the real reason is: It's just so much fun!
