#123 Massage therapist Joan Gennarini reveals her spiritual journey

Joan Gennarini was born in Colorado and raised in Indiana. Her parents were music teachers, and her mother later became a massage therapist. Joan's career in massage therapy started after a 15-year stint in Corporate America. During that time she moved across the country from California to Texas to Maryland working for companies like Shell Oil, Enron North America, and Pacific Gas and Electric. After enduring years of long hours sitting in meetings, working with various personalities of co-workers, meeting stressful deadlines, and staring at the computer screen for many hours on end, Joan decided it was time to begin her healing journey. Inspired by her mother's skill in massage therapy, Joan broke away from the busy corporate lifestyle in September 2003 and attended massage school full time at the Cayce/Reilly School of Massotherapy in Virginia Beach, Virginia. After graduation in 2004, she began working for a popular Day Spa in Newark, Delaware, and in 2006 opened her own private clientele massage business, Rekindled Spirits Therapeutic Massage.
