Yes
About my Business:
My mission is to offer a relaxing and therapeutic massage, to help your muscles to relax and to release tension, and to facilitate any healing that your body may want to do once it is in a relaxed state. My intention is that after a massage session, you will feel great!
I customize each session to the particular needs that you may have, and therefore, during a massage session I use different techniques, such as from the relaxing Swedish Massage, the restorative Deep Tissue Massage and the subtle but powerful energetic modalities of Reiki and basic Shiatsu.
A massage session is a wonderful opportunity for me to be in a mindfulness meditation, in which I pay attention, on purpose, in the present moment and without any judgement. My hope is that you may want to take advantage of the relaxation response produced by the massage, and to meditate too, or simply, to let your mind wander.
About Me:
My name is Angel Rivera. In June 2007, I became a Licensed Massage and Bodywork Therapist in North Carolina (LMBT, NC #7517).
I am a 21 year "thrivor" of malignant melanoma, a type of skin cancer, and after the last encounter, I decided to fulfill one of my purposes in life, which is to facilitate the healing of others and to help navigate those affected by cancer thru their recovery and wellness journey. For me, becoming a massage therapist was one way to have the tools, the skills, and the knowledge to server others.
Hey Angel, Wanted to take a minute and personally share the Local Coffee Break networking opportunity we're trying to foster to connect members and to let you know I'll be posting info on the 2009 Christmas party soon - please keep a look out.

Hey Angel, hope you can make it to the End of Summer "Social Hour" Trying to get a bunch of inSiders to meet each other offline. It's what I do :)
Hi Angel, I see you are a massage therapist and would like input from you of what has helped you on inside 919 to develop your business and also connection with other massage therapist. Do you have a business website? I read your bio and see you are a cancer survivor and went into massage to help others heal. Wonderful, do you have any recommendations how to connect on inside 919 that would be helpful?

Thank you for sharing a bit of your experience at Duke. You may end up with some clients as a result! You provided a most valuable service and I appreciate you. My week in New Orleans was full of wonderful experiences, connecting with some amazing people and accomplishing a lot. I spent 4 1/2 days re-building a home devastated by hurricaine Katrina. We also played at night in the city. So much to take in!
Hi Angel-
It was a pleasure meeting you. You we the perfect addition for the Diva Event. Thanks for the massage - it made the rest of my day! Many happy wishes to you.
