| GET TO KNOW OUR STAFF | | Kathy Trichell, Massage Therapist,Esthetician, Nail Tech
Originally from Bastrop, LA, Kathy's career path to being a Massage Therapist is quite an interesting story. The story begins with Kathy relocating to Dallas, TX. When she moved there she was able to get a job at a country club. One evening, the entertainer for the country club had a terrible migraine. Kathy told the entertainer that she thought she might be able to help her get rid of her migraine by giving her a head massage. The entertainer's migraine quickly subsided after receiving the head massage and she soon told everyone in the country club of the relaxing treatment that Kathy had given her. The entertainer then took Kathy out to dinner to thank her but really took her to a massage therapy school where Kathy could become a licensed massage therapist. Kathy received her license in 1986 and obtained a position with Signature Athletic Club in Dallas, TX. It was at Signature Athletic Club that Kathy was privileged to perform massage therapy work for the Dallas Cowboys. She holds a license for massage therapy in MS, LA, and TX.
In 2002, Kathy went to esthetic school and received her license and through Signature Athletic Club met a doctor who wanted Kathy to work with his plastic surgery patients, teaching them how to properly take care of their skin and apply makeup. In 2008, Kathy moved to Mississippi and started at the Fairview Inn in October of 2009. This past year she received her license to become a Nail Tech.
In her spare time, Kathy loves spending time with her family; she has one son and three grandchildren in Baton Rouge, LA. She also enjoys going to flea markets, collecting antiques and refinishing them, collecting stained glass, doing cross-stitch and needle point, and building things (with power tools).
Kathy's favorite part about being a Massage Therapist is seeing her clients leave feeling relaxed and relieved of stress after receiving a therapeutic massage treatment. |
