An interview with Sharon Potter on Massage Therapy
Q: What's your story (Tell us a little about yourself)?
A: I have a 4 year degree in Exercise Science and a Master’s in Education, and I am a certified Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor. I also teach yoga and Tai Chi. I have always been interested in Massage Therapy and though this would be a great addition to all of my other areas of interests within the Health Fitness and Wellness field
Q: How did you get to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ?
A: I looked at a variety of Massage Schools, and as an employee of Maricopa Community Colleges, I was able to take up to 12 credits/semester at no cost to me other than course fees and books. Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ has a good reputation and they had an evening cohort, so I could work and go to school. I selected Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ based on Reputation, Cost, Night classes and Convenience.
Q: What was your time like at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ?
A: I love learning, so I think I truly enjoyed the classes and the interaction with the other students while I was at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ. I felt that with these skills, I would really be able to make a difference in my small part of the world, and now 8 years later I know I am making a difference in the lives of my clients and I feel very grateful to Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ for that gift.
Q: Any advice you would give to future Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ students?
A: The Therapeutic Massage Program at Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ is excellent if you want a “Hands-on “career (No pun intended). If you feel the need to help people, are compassionate, caring, and understand the power of human touch, then this could be the career for you. Ñî¹óåú´«Ã½ÊÓƵ has a good reputable program, with caring, knowledgeable and professional instructors who will help you attain your career goals.
