Ms. Reid graduated with a bachelor of Physical Education Degree from the University of Calgary, Alberta, Canada in 1989. In 1990 Ms. Reid traveled to several islands in the Caribbean - Antigua, Bonaire, Curacao, and since 1995 - Hawaii, Dominica, and the US Virgin Islands as a PADI Dive Instructor and boat captain and experienced some of the most incredible dive destinations and resorts in the world. She managed a fitness center in a new 5 Star Hotel  in Curacao, and also worked on a cruise ship as a dive instructor supervising snorkeling excursions that cruised from Florida to Mexico and the Bahamas for 6 months.
Returning to Canada after 5 years in the Caribbean, Ms. Reid attended and graduated from the Alberta Institute of Massage in Red Deer, Alberta in 1995 as a Certified Massage Therapist and was awarded a certificate for the Director’s Practical Honor Roll. A strong desire for the warmer climates, Ms. Reid moved to Vancouver, BC where she worked as a Dive Instructor on a live aboard dive boat and at a fitness center while awaiting her approval for resident alien status for the USA.
Once approved, Ms. Reid moved to Honolulu, HI and worked as a dive instructor and became licensed as a massage therapist, working in the many spas in Waikiki. Ms. Reid also worked as a Recreation Therapist with developmentally disabled adults for 3 years with the focus in community integration and coaching Special Olympics. Ms. Reid then formed a massage practice co partnering with physicians and their patients for rehabilitation from injuries.
A passion for the ocean, Ms. Reid became an avid yachtsman participating in several yacht races around the Hawaiian islands including the 1998 Kenwood Cup. Ms. Reid also desired to see the islands from the air and obtained her private pilots license with an instrument rating logging 280 hours of flight time in Hawaii and 10 hours at North Perry airport in Hollywood, Florida. 
After 7 years in Honolulu, Ms. Reid moved to the Caribbean for 2 years and then to Florida in 2004 where she  fulfilled her requirements for massage licensing. Ms. Reid obtained her license in June 2006 and opened her practice in September.
