Hello fellow Steemers! Allow me to introduce myself...

Hey Steemit friends! I’m Khang. I’m 24, Vietnamese living in California, and am a certified massage therapist.

I dabble, study and practice various massage and bodywork modalities and view it as both a job and as a hobby! I got into massage therapy about four years ago, since my dad passed away. I wanted to provide the most convenient form of wellness for my mom to help her live a long time, so I researched and studied many different methods on my own and practiced it on her. In due time, the interest and skill grew enough to look into it as a career. I’m really blessed to have found my passion through a positive coping mechanism through tough times.

I’m really obsessed in exploring ways to systemize a method in improving the human condition in many aspects. I’m also huge into energy healing. However any culture conceptualizes it, I try to find some resonance with their teachings without being completely dismissive. I truly believe in the combination of the mind, body, and breath for overall wellness.

Speaking of mind and body, I’m also huge into exploring different realms of fitness. While the whole barbell scene is for some people, I’ve always been interested in functional strength and the components of anatomy and physiology related to it. I practice mix in various calisthenics and plyometric movements as well as isometric postures. I try to infuse teachings from various sources of inspiration, such as yoga, martial arts, and other movement based practices.

Singing is also a funy hobby of mine! I was a bass who dreamed to be a tenor in high school, and I’ve always been singing since! I always find ways to remix or harmonize with hold school and mainstream songs. My favorite genre is R&B, specifically from the 90s. There’s something a about those soulful runs and impossible notes, plus the era was smooth as hell!

I also love writing! Poetry, short stories, script outlines, etc. Whatever helps stimulate the creative juices, I’ll dabble into it. Lately I’ve been scribbling ideas down for short stories and free versing poetry. It helps keep me sane after working at such a physically demanding job.

I want to explore Steem’s great community by posting content that will resonate with other people with similar interests, as well as spark interest in things from my world! Not in any order, I’d like to post poetry, blogs regarding both bodywork and health, random blogs, covers of songs, original songs, and hopefully host contests to reach out to more people in the future.

Looking forward to being part of a great, growing community!
