The trained touch Page 11 amta South Dakota Chapter Membership Spotlight Name: Brittney Priebe City: Huron, SD Family: Todd & Connie (parents, Nitto & Nova (pets), Randy (significant other) How long have you been doing massage? Since September 2017 How long have you been an AMTA Member? (please list any volunteer positions you may have held and/or currently hold) November 2016 What has been/is your favorite memory as an AMTA Member? Making so many new friends, massage therapists aren’t overly competitive and they all encourage each other. What got you interested/started in Massage Therapy? Always interested in healthcare but wanted to be more proactive and give people an alternative to try before going to a doctor for medicine. What is your favorite technique? I like combining techniques into one massage. I enjoy customizing each massage for the client. What is your biggest challenge as a therapist? Waiting to see the results with clients. Sometimes there is no quick fix to a problem and it just takes multiple sessions which can discourage the client. What is your best memory of being a massage therapist? I had a rancher come in because his wife made him and I helped his sciatica. He was surprised that I helped so much. He now refers others to me! What would you tell new people coming into massage therapy? Always take care of yourself too. You cannot help or take care of others when you are drained. What are your hobbies and other interests? We are always out with our pups playing in the yard and going for motorcycle rides around town. Is there anything else you would like to share? (Something nobody knows about you or would be surprised to know about you): I always considered massage but didn’t commit to school until my grandmother got sick and touch was a huge comfort and at times was a way of communication with her.
