Margaret Tiller
Massage Therapy Graduate from Southeastern Institute
For the bulk of her early professional career, Margaret bounced between part-time retail and hospitality jobs. When she moved to Charlotte, North Carolina, she discovered the Massage Therapy Program at Southeastern Institute. Throughout her life she had a passion for healing others, and now she was finding a way to bring that passion to her professional career.
Thanks to the flexible schedule, Margaret was able to maintain a part-time job while going to school. A few months into her program, she left school to manage a mental health diagnosis, determine the right medication and focus on her mental well-being. Despite it all, she decided to return to Southeastern to complete her massage therapy program. The support of her instructors and classmates enabled her to tackle new challenges and find her new passion in life.
Since completing her program, she has worked as a certified massage therapist for three different studios in greater Charlotte. As she looks ahead to the future, she dreams of owning her own studio where she can incorporate massage therapy with art and music therapy for her clients.
