Rolando and I love our profession and want to share our knowledge with others.  The goals of our podcast are to:

• Give you a real world perspective about massage: Who we are… What we do… and most importantly, how massage can benefit you!
• To dispel myths and misconceptions the public may have about massage and make it accessible to everyone
• To answer any other questions you may have regarding massage, bodywork, or the business itself. 
• And hopefully try to entertain you along the way!

If you do have questions, please send them to kahaleolamassage@gmail.com.
