"I'm fortunate to possess two distinctly different qualities that combine to create a unique experience for the client: First, my medical background, the years I spent working as a nurse, gave me grounding and strength in the technical aspects of the profession. Second, I am by nature a motherly, nurturing kind of person, a caretaker with a heartful and empathetic sensitivity. The fact that I'm able to integrate these characteristics and produce a truly healing session for the client is what distinguishes my work as a massage therapist." - Sherry Sanders Galloway
