When I was eight, I decided that when I grew up, I wanted to join the circus. Consequently, I spent many hours in the den attempting to learn to juggle with two balls, mostly throwing them around the room. After attending a very inspiring juggling festival in the San Juan Islands five years ago, I’ve been attempting to learn again. Last year I finally learned to juggle three balls, and am now proficient at it. Now I want to learn to juggle three balls while hula-hooping, and master five balls.

I would like to study herbs, traditional Mexican massage, and midwifery with traditional Mexican midwives and healers. Thus, I am studying Spanish to be able to travel and attend a women’s health internship in Mexico.

I am a massage therapist, and I love massage. It’s better for my work, as well as my body and spirit, to recieve massage regularly. Ideally, I trade massage for bodywork with other practitioners, twice a month, but I would love to get a massage every week! When I was in massage school, I got multiple massages a week, and it was amazing for my body. My body changed during that year because of all the intensive bodywork. I hope to continue to recieve regular massage throughout my entire life.
