Using the experiences from currently-serving massage therapists/related professions, people could have a better way of determining if this career is the right route for them! Alana-Jain Feder Alana is a California-native residing in Los Angeles County. As a child, she had an irrational fear of physical contact, and this trait ended up being a key role in her journey towards emotional empathy. Through years of building up her trust with others, it led her to want to become a massage therapist as a way of paying that kindness forward. Unfortunately, it wasn't always a smooth journey. Alana originally sought information about massage therapy on the internet and non-healthcare professionals; These inaccurate or out-dated stories made her journey feel more convoluted and uncertain. For many years beyond that, she felt that a career in massage therapy simply wasn't possible. As she became invested in other positions - interning for Long Beach Mayor, Rex Richardson, or learning about environmental sustainability with Japanese/Chinese students thanks to the LBYSCA - she always felt as though a part of herself was left unresolved. Alana hopes to close the gap between a massage therapist and those desiring to learn about the profession. Although opportunities given to people can't be directly impacted overnight, this beautiful community has the ability to make information accessible through their stories, passion, and love for inspiring people like me.

She has since spoken to several massage therapists, kinesiology majors, physical therapists, and other related fields in hopes of having a better understanding of this profession through their first-hand experiences. Her primary objective would be to continue developing the public view of massage therapy by giving people the most accurate information possible; she lives up to this by continuing to hear other perspectives, and accepting without assumption.
