In this episode of The Radical Massage Therapist Podcast, I’m joined by Julie Romero, a massage therapist redefining mobile massage in Wilmington, North Carolina. Julie shares her inspiring journey from public school teacher to massage therapist and how a personal tragedy led her to a bold new chapter of her career. After frustrations owning a brick and mortar practice she had the bold idea to convert an old shuttle bus into a fully functional mobile massage studio "Hands in the Sands".
