About The Motorcyclist Massage Therapist
Why the motorcyclist massage therapist?
There are definitely two activities that I truly enjoy; being a massage therapist and riding motorcycles. I actually only started riding in spring of 2020. It was my COVID hobby for the year. I fell in love with it. I love touring and camping. I have over 19,000 miles logged on my bike looking for all the fun backroad twisties. Now I am venturing into more off pavement roads and riding dual sport as well. The ride shouldn't end when the road turns to dirt.
I try to participate in multiple motorcycle events where I can set up a booth and share my passion for massage therapy. I have been set up at Giant Loop Rally for the past 2 years and I am looking forward to more years of being there. It is a unique opportunity to introduce new people to massage, as well as, help injured riders get back on the bike after a crash. I am full of helpful tips for riders looking to improve their riding experience by improving their body's health. Massage is a great way for riders to keep their bodies in tune for the next ride.
