Greetings,
I hope this information gives you a little history as to who I am and why I believe in what I do: I grew up in a family of healthcare practitioners and have been surrounded by healthcare since as far back as I can remember. Naturally, I gravitated towards that field myself. By the age of 17, I knew I wanted to be a Dental Hygienist. So off to school I went! I graduated from Hygiene school in 1990 and I've been practicing ever since. I love the one on one interaction with people and I believe it is my mission in life to promote and provide good health to others. Having received massage treatment myself on a regular basis, I experienced its powerful healing quality and knew it was something I was compelled to do. So I went back to school and in 2000, I graduated from Brenneke School of Massage as a Massage Therapist. As a Hygienist, I have seen so many patients over the years who struggle with TMJ issues (myself included). There really are very few treatment options available for these people. What is available is helpful, but for some it is not enough. I thought to myself "there must be some way to incorporate massage into treating this problem?" I knew if I had the right training I would be able to help people find the relief they've been needing. Washington State only allows a limited number of professionals to preform intra-oral massage so finding appropriate training in this area was a challenge. I found a fabulous program back East where I received my certification in Neuromuscular Therapy specializing in TMJ. I am very pleased and excited to be able to offer this successful therapy to my clients. Knowing that I can provide relief from pain and discomfort for people fulfills my mission in life. To your health, Caroline Brady, LMP, RDH |
