Meet Eva Grayzel

{The following information is provided with consent of our client and otherwise would have remained confidential}

Back a few years ago, when I was still a massage student, I had the opportunity to volunteer some time at the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Easton, PA. While doing massages that afternoon I encountered an anamoly that few massage therapists, let alone students, will come upon. I met a very energetic, outgoing, and very appreciate survivor named Eva. Eva approached my table for a massage and completed a very brief intake. While speaking with Eva I learned that she had previously had oral cancer. The cancer was at an advanced stage when diagnosed and she had to undergo radical surgery to remove the cancer and affected tissue. What was most remarkable from a massage student perpective was that the sternocleidomastoid muscle had be removed from the left side of Eva's neck, leaving a void where the muscle should be. Having returned to school and anatomy class after that weekend I shared the experience with my classmates.

Fast forward a few years. Eva, unbeknownst to either of us, calls and makes an appointment in our office for massage. Half-way through the massage I realize who is on my table, after some discussion, Eva remembers me too!

I would encourage everyone to learn more about Eva. She is a motivational speaker, performance artisit, and oral cancer lecturer. I am sure she is an inspiration to all she meets!
