MONICA FOUTY Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist NC#17508 Originally from southern California, my family and I moved to North Carolina in 2001. I attended Forsyth Tech and received a degree in Early Childhood education, specializing in Infants, Toddlers, and Twos. I worked in the early childhood field for 10 years. During this time, my mother received her certification and license in Massage Therapy, thus, exposing me to the benefits of massage on not only the human body, but also on the overall health of a person. Learning this is what drove me to pursue my certification in therapeutic massage. I attended the Therapeutic Massage program at Forsyth Tech, where I received my certificate I & II in therapeutic massage. I am certified in Deep tissue, Swedish, Sports, Prenatal, post postpartum, and infant massage. I am excited to be a part of the MAMAW team and share the wonderful benefits of massage with clients and aid them on their journey to wholeness and healing. |
