Power of Touch Massage, Tucson

Raymond Ramirez felt an inner calling every time he witnessed another human being in pain. Despite success in the entrepreneurship and management arenas, Power of Touch Massage's owner cites his decision to enroll in the Cortiva Institute and pursue a career in massage therapy as his proudest moment.

Today, the licensed massage therapist uses a well-earned toolbox of therapeutic techniques to visit homes and welcome clients into the company's studio for traditional and customized bodywork. Before the massage, the therapists listen to their clients' physical concerns, and afterward they share professional pain-management advice so clients can continue healing long after they've peeled themselves off of the table.
