Felicia Evans is a licensed massage therapist who trained at Florida Health Academy in Naples, Florida. She loves all types of massage, but is specialized in Pregnancy massage. She came into her career as a massage therapist because, when asked by her fiancée (now husband), Tim, what she wanted to be more than anything, she replied, “a massage therapist”. She realized then that seeing people comforted and healed was her calling in life, and massage therapy is a wonderful vehicle for this. She loves the serene retreat of Illumina Spa and enjoys her work very much.
Spiritual basis for her work:
Jesus says that "my yoke is easy and my burden is light". Matthew 11:30. So why do we often feel weighed down by the weight of the world everyday? One theory is that we don't take time to let things go that we shouldn't be holding onto. Worries buzz in our mind and create tension in our shoulders and backs leading to bad health throughout our bodies, which can lead to problems such as insomnia, high blood pressure, panic attacks, heart attack, ect. A good massage can be a sanctuary from the worries of this world: a place of relief and healing. Rest assured that your muscles will follow as you let your cares simply float away in the quietness of your own heart.
"Cast your cares on him for he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7.
As your body and mind is relieved of stress, you will also positively affect the lives of your friends and families around you in countless ways. Take time to let go of stress and worry today.
"The cure of the part should not be attempted without treatment of the whole." Plato, Chronicles
"The skin is no more separate from the brain than the surface of lake is separate from its depths. They are two different locations in a continuous medium. To touch the surface is to stir the depths." -Deane Juhan
