About
Teresa Richardson
For a good part of my life I worked in the Graphic Arts field. But when I experienced a personal loss many years ago, I took a good look at my life, decided to change gears, then followed a path that gave me a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment. I left my job, went back to school, and became a licensed massage therapist. I have been practicing in this field for just under a decade, and the thing I like most is helping people reduce the strain and stress in their bodies and mind.
I have a true passion for my chosen career. For me, a great reward is a returning client because a returning client translates into a satisfied customer. To ensure satisfaction, I take great care in listening to my clients and customizing sessions that focus on their particular needs.
I have worn many hats in my life and each experience has played a part in the person I have become. I am a positive person who believes good energy begets more good energy. I am a person who is passionate and compassionate. I am a person who desires knowledge and who strives to continually educate herself. The more I learn, the better I become at helping people reduce the tension and strain in their lives.
