This new interest led to more massage classes and finally an accreditation for massage therapy at the Swedish Institute in NYC. While practicing massage in NY, Virginia began to miss the West and decided a move out to Seattle would give her the best of both worlds, a city large enough for cultural activities yet accessible to the outdoors.
