About myself the owner, Nancy Nelis LMT 104265

I was born in Alaska in 1963 raised on moose meat and salmon, halibut with lots of veggies and brown rice. I now pride myself in being mainly plant based for well over 14 years now. I lived in Ireland for more that two decades which afforded me to travel the world extensively.  I hold international qualifications as I studied massage in Ireland receiving an ITEC level 3 diploma in Holistic Massage in 2013. I held an  apartment in Sweden where I availed of many a massages myself. traveling to dozens of countries including Thailand twice the first time for six weeks where I had traditional Thai massage daily. All of the travels and massages and even my diet have enhanced my craft. I am planning  another trip to Thailand where I will study massage at Old Medicine Hospital, making a pit stop in India for Ayurvedic Medicine training,  And all the abundance of knowledge gained can now be given back
