Nationally Certified Massage Therapist/Burn Survivor
Augusta, Georgia
all about me
My name is Jen Hartley and I am from Augusta, Georgia. I am a Nationally Certified Massage Therapist and I specialize in Burn Scar Massage Therapy. This is a passion of mine and was drawn to it because I, too, am a burn survivor. I was scalded by hot water as a child and I wanted to be able to encourage and help other burn survivors. I try to se my life to break old barriers that try to hold burn survivors back. People who judge by appearance and make young burn survivors think that they are not beautiful ot talented just because they have scars.
I am also a musician and a Praise Team Leader at a local church.
