What motivates you to come to work everyday?
It’s always an honor to have folks trust me with their bodies, pain and feelings. I don’t have to do this — I get to do this.
What is your favorite part of your job?
About five to 10 minutes into the massage, when the client starts to sink into their happy place and/or you feel that relief that they know you’re paying attention and can find the spot(s) that needs attention.
What is your favorite holiday?
Memorial Day summer begins!!
Tacos or pizza?
Tacos – fish
If you could be any animal, what would you be?
A swan (water, land and air!!) or my own dog (she is spoiled and a hoot)
Amanda Long is a massage therapist and writer, two hands-on pursuits that require lots of listening and paying attention. She left full-time journalism in 2011 to become a massage therapist and has worked in private practice (with other integrative health care providers), at a hospital-based clinic, alongside a chiropractor, in clients’ homes and in workplaces. She’s a big believer in the power of touch, compassion and curiosity.
