Royce was asked about how his time at Soma helped mold the success he has enjoyed and he stated, “Soma left me with an amazing set of building blocks for my present career in Holistic Healing.  The school gave me the confidence to create my dream business, which now allows me to live the life I had always aspired to.  I look back on my 2002-3 school year with the fondest memories of the educational system but also the memories with my awesome, awesome classmates.  The school allowed for a professional, framework of learning while never forgetting why we are also here on Beautiful Planet Earth-to have Fun”.

When asked about his career Royce said, “I love that my Soma Education gave me the cornerstone for doing great things, not only as a Professional Massage Therapist, but also as the Personal Trainer and Life Coach roles I attained after Soma.  I now have had 5 years within the Luxury Spa Market in Miami Beach and also now endeavor some abroad sojourns with my work as Life Coach and Trainer/Healer (Buenos Aires, Dubai, etc).  Above all, I love the fact that this work more than 100% makes people feel good and you as healer are therefore left intrinsically rewarded in the end.  I truly do feel gratitude to Soma almost daily since 2003 for assisting me in getting going in this field I truly, truly do love (Thank you again!)”.

Finally, he had the following to say when asked about career obstacles, “In working for the Hotel Spa Market, it is structured and there is guidance with your work.  As an entrepreneur and sole proprietor, there are times that the obstacle of procrastination set in.  When this has occurred, I try to always stay motivated to the utmost (even by means of my own amazing Life Coach I utilize for direction, etc) and to realize that daily ‘I create my magic in this wonderful lifetime’ and that I can do as much or as little in making differences in my clients.  Of course the more I put in and give in this field, I realize it is in helping others and creating healing for clients, I feel so alive.  And, I also feel overwhelmingly motivated.  Lastly, I try to keep short-term goals and long-term goals in mind with my work as Clinical Massage Therapist and Bodycare Professional.”
