This role marked a significant milestone, as she led the spa's therapeutic team and set high standards for service excellence.

Ms. Moon's path into massage therapy was shaped by an early interest in music. She initially planned to become a musician after attending music school while working as a waitress at a hotel in Milwaukee alongside her twin sister.

This decision ultimately led Ms. Moon to join Thunderhead Lodge at the Sheraton Steamboat Hotel as the director of massage therapy.

In addition to her work in massage therapy, Ms. Moon has an extensive background as a teacher. She has taught both locally and nationally, with her most significant accomplishment being earning certification to teach Touch for Health kinesiology.

Ms. Moon's career has also encompassed creative pursuits as a musician, jazz and blues singer, percussionist and classical guitarist since 1978. Additionally, she spent over a decade in hospitality working as a waitress and bartender after beginning her public life as a model. Ms. Moon fondly recalls appearing in a book in her early 20s and collaborating on classic black-and-white photography projects.

Ms. Moon's educational background is marked by continuous learning and achievement. She is trained in craniosacral therapy and orthopedic massage and has pursued additional studies in pregnancy and infant massage. She also completed coursework in massage therapy, health management, anatomy, physiology and hydrotherapy at Western Suburban YMCA of Metropolitan Milwaukee. Moreover, Ms. Moon earned a master's certification in spinal reflex therapy from Spinal Reflex Institute International LLC in Durango, Colorado.

In addition to her academics, Ms. Moon's professional journey is further distinguished by her longstanding involvement with the American Massage Therapy Association.

She attributes her success to continuing education and an unwavering commitment to self-improvement.

Throughout her life and career, Ms. Moon has exemplified determination, adaptability and lifelong learning, qualities that have defined her journey from humble beginnings to industry leadership and national recognition.
