Why the name Val's Vital Touch?
Val's Vital Touch is named after the owners mother, Valree. Valree passed in 1999 from complications due to the disease Lupus. At the time, Shannon was not a massage therapist nor was she aware of the benefits of massage. Once she became a massage therapist she often thought of the days her mother spent in pain and how massage would have been vital during her illness. Hence, the name Val's Vital Touch!
