Makaylin, is a stay-at-home mom of three adorable little ones with an husband who works hard which keeps him away from home frequently. She deserves a complimentary massage more than anyone I know. Her days are a whirlwind of love, patience, and endless chores, from sunrise to sunset. She devotes herself not only to her husband and children, but also to her extended family and close friends. With the recent storms leaving them without power for several days, she kept her word to host a bachelorette party at her home while running on a generator! This is just one recent example of how she is always putting other’s needs before her own without hesitation. A massage would be a beautiful way to remind her how important her well-being is to us all and give her the relaxation and pampering she so richly deserves.

Congratulations Makaylin. Your commitement to your family and friends is outstanding!
