Graduate of The Soma Institute

Penny began working at one of the most prestigious athletic clubs in Chicago within a year of graduating from Soma.  When asked about her decision to train as a massage therapist she said, “My education at Soma has changed my life.  Aside from giving me the confidence, knowledge and ability to interact with people of all ages and levels of discomfort, Soma’s intensive curriculum left me with an expanded awareness of just how important it is to maintain balance in one’s muscular/structural body and that it will result in a lifetime of minimal body aches and pains.  No matter who the client is I find myself prepared to assist them and develop a plan to treat their specific needs.  The training and knowledge I received at Soma has also allowed me to overcome many personal physical obstacles which used to restrict my range of motion while performing even the most routine daily activities."

Penny had the following comments when asked what she liked best about her new career, “I love the flexibility of my work schedule and being able to make a difference in the lives and physical well-being of my clients.  I also enjoy the fact that while I am working I get a total body workout of my own as I am not confined to a chair or standing at a counter at a job which requires me to be inactive all day.  I constantly receive positive feedback and praise from my clients which only confirms that I made the correct career choice. I feel a sense of professionalism I was never able to feel before in my 25 years of employment.”
