Why I Became a Massage Therapist

  1. The idea of becoming a massage therapist came to me at the beginning of 2024. At that time, I had been working full-time for almost a year, and my job was starting to feel repetitive. A massage therapist visited my workplace every week, and employees had the opportunity to enjoy a 30-minute massage session. Through those sessions, I became familiar with the profession and realized how interesting it was.
  2. In August 2024, I began my studies in massage therapy. I graduated in June 2025 and founded my own business shortly afterwards.
  3. I have been physically active my entire life. My sporting journey began at the age of four when I started playing tennis. I continued playing until I was ten, after which football became my main sport. I had actually started playing football at the age of six, and from the age of ten onwards I pursued it competitively until I was nineteen. Today, I still play football purely for the enjoyment of the game.
  4. In addition, I work as a football coach at Pitäjänmäen Tarmo (PiTa), where I coach children born in 2016 and 2020.
  5. Competitive sports allowed me to experience both the capabilities and the limits of the human body—and, unfortunately, several injuries as well. These experiences sparked a genuine interest in human wellbeing, recovery, and body maintenance.
  6. This passion ultimately led me to become a massage therapist. My goal is to help my clients improve their physical function, prevent musculoskeletal problems, and recover as effectively as possible from the physical demands of everyday life or sports.
