/\* Personal Background \*/

After graduating from college, Heidi considered pursuing medical school, but her journey led her to live abroad for 15 years, get married, and start a family. While living overseas, Heidi discovered the benefits of regular massage for migraines, backaches, and a high-risk pregnancy. These experiences inspired Heidi to become a massage therapist, wanting to help her family and friends find relief from pain through a holistic approach.
