That stranger turned
to be Mr. Ito-san, a Buddhist monk living in Stockholm, a master
of martial arts and a massage therapist registered by Japanese Ministry
of Health.
Mr. Ito-san offered Michelle a free initial training in his non-commercial
school of AMMA (Japanese Energy Massage) in Stockholm.
Michelle agreed and two years later she successfully passed an examination
procedure and received a diploma of AMMA massage therapist.
May 2000, she left her job on the radio and became a self-employed
AMMA massage therapist offering her services to businesses and individuals
in Stockholm area.
August the 20th, 2002 she moved to Cambridge following her husband’s
job offer.
While settling in UK, Michelle took a job as a housekeeper at Greens
Health and Fitness Club and when she obtained her UK Public Liability
Insurance she was offered a freelance position at the same club,
making her a therapist rather than a housekeeper overnight.
During a promotional campaign on Christmas time 2002, Michelle offered
a 15-minutes free trial for Greens members and 160 slots available
were booked during first 6 hours of offer. |
