By working with a wide range of clients, she has developed a more thorough insight into the varied service needs of patients, and creating tailored treatment plans based on those needs has become one of her key strengths. Through ongoing learning on the job and advancing her practical skills with continued education, she has refined her techniques and grown more flexible in meeting the diverse demands of her clients. All of these experiences have deepened her passion for and satisfaction with her career.

In 2023, Anthea also assumed the position of supervisor for a student massage clinic at a school. In this new capacity, she has recognized that clearly understanding and responding to the needs—wh ether of students or patients—is neither simple nor straightforward.
