I would very much like more info on this also. I am at the point of my life where I am through with the high stress and long hours on my feet. My back can't take the abuse anymore either! The "spa" like environment sounds like my "cup of tea"! I also dabble in herbal supplimentation.

I was about to go into massage therapy, but wanted to help people at a "deeper level'. Besides, unless I was in business for myself, I might not have the business, and being a single person, I couldn't totally rely on having customers every day.
