Blanca was a labour lawyer in her native Spain but had done courses on massage, reiki and natural therapies in general - as a hobby. She found their physicality a welcome change from the law.
A holiday in Australia spurred her to radical change. She moved to Sydney, did the appropriate studies and opened The Balmain Massage Centre.
"I enjoy every day I spend at the Centre", says Blanca who admits she can get impatient with the management side of things. "I just love what I do, I'd do it for free if I could afford to. I've got such a lovely bunch of clients, we talk, swap stories... many of them have become friends. I get a real buzz out of fixing people."
