Lovely book! I had a great time reading it!

I learned a lot about massage, the author proposed to discuss this subject and she didn’t disappoint! But this book is about her life, she shared personnel’s feelings! I laughed, got angry, mad, sad .. I also admire the way she faced the big changes in her life, always improving her profession. Moving on like a adult! 5 stars book!

Didn’t want it to end!

Hard to put down. Mandy takes you on an adventure around the world. Entertaining, funny and real, she does a great job at telling her story.

Great Memoir!!!

I loved this book. As a massage therapist as well I connected with so many things and even learned some new things!

Not just for massage therapists, anyone will enjoy!

I just got back from Paris and finished the audio version of this book on the plane. I became a new LMT last year at age 48 so I thought it would be an informative read about this new life I’m in and I love supporting people trying new things & getting out of their comfort zone. So when I saw it mentioned in a LMT group, I downloaded it thinking even if it’s bad, it would only cost me an Audible credit to support someone in a goal.

I have to say- I really loved it! ❤️

She did a really great job telling the stories. It flowed well and kept my interest. I could relate to the LMT parts, but this is a book that anyone would enjoy reading, not just LMTs! Well done! The author is an adventurer, a traveler and a risk taker and that is something for anyone to be excited to read about!
Travel lovers will enjoy, too! It was interesting hearing about the various countries and experiences there.

She also did a really great job narrating the audio version. I listen to a lot of podcasts and audio books and had a podcast of my own for a couple years. Very professional sounding- the accent & tone was pleasing to the ear. Her emotion and inflection was really good! I am very impressed for a first time author. Fun read!

Amazing!

I loved this book! I wish she would write more. Her style of story telling invites you along on her journey as a massage therapist and oh what a journey it is!!
