Dustin T. Fox, CMT commented on Rosemary Oliver's group 'Massage for Abuse/Trauma Survivors'

Well, Lisa most of the massages I get are trades and I get one about every two weeks, but many times I get and give during a house call in the with those who have little one responsibilities. If we do it in my office there is a 2.5 hour block of tim…
