Working for myself is by far the best benefit I have received from being a massage Therapist. This means that I take time off when I want to, my schedule is my own. I never have to work another holiday. I can spend time with my family and time doing what I enjoy in life. The second best benefit for me has been feeling that I am actually doing what I was called to do. There is no greater feeling in the world than finding what you like to do and doing it for a living.
