About Rose Amen Pillars



After sitting behind an office desk for 20 years and experiencing lower-back and elbow tension, I decided that I wanted to do something healthier. Something good for me and good for humanity. So, I did some journaling and felt called to go to massage therapy school. I wanted to help others who have issues with their bodies due to their daily work routine.

I graduated from Boulder College of Massage Therapy in 2001, and now I get to help people feel better each and every day!
