My Mom

Massage Therapist, Mom, Grandma, Wife, Business Owner.

A photo of both of us from a photoshoot.

Just to name a few things that I think of when I think of my mom. She & my dad have been married since 1975 & are parents to 3 boys and 1 girl (me). She has been massaging since she was 16. Mom was born & raised in Mexico and we moved to Canada in 1991. As the youngest and only girl we spent a lot of time together when I was little some of my fondest memories growing up are of us working together & we have been partners ever since. We actually worked together at my first job & since then we worked for the same employer a few times, we also took our massage course together. She is without a doubt 1 of my best friends (it a toss-up between her or my sister-in-law) & someone I can always rely on.

She is the one who taught me (by her example) to work hard and pursue your dreams. I have always admired her courage in moving to a country where she didn’t read or speak the language, and to build a life with her husband. When I was younger I definitely didn’t appreciate all the things they (Mom & Dad) taught me like their mother tongue, now my brothers & I make sure to keep up with it.
