History
The Massage Therapy Foundation was founded by AMTA in 1990 with the mission of bringing the benefits of massage therapy to the broadest spectrum of society through the generation, dissemination, and application of knowledge in this field. We do this by receiving donations and granting funds for research, community service, educational initiatives, and conferences. We also do this by providing direct consultation to the medical and research communities, and by educating massage therapists about the world of research.

Her interest in the Foundation's mission stems from her respect for scientific inquiry and her determination to help further the profession through academic credibility and public education. She loves to travel, cycle, and teach scuba. She lives in Colorado with her husband Rick Giase, a Pulitzer Prize-winning photojournalist, and their yellow Lab, Sundance.
