As a professional I have always separated my personal FAITH from my job duties to ensure fair, neutral and respectful services for everyone. Neutrality builds a safe and professional environment where everyone feels welcome.
But today I feel the need to share my FAITH in Jesus Christ ✝️ I am so proud to share my love for him.
My personal journey with Jesus has helped me survive in the darkest moments. Years ago I turned to him when I was going through a personal hard time. Jesus saved me. Without his love and guidance I would not be alive today. He gave me breath when I couldn't breathe on my own. He brought me back to life when I was dying in a hospital bed. I just wanted to share this in case anyone else is going through some hard times and feel like giving up. Please don't 🤍 Open a Bible and start reading. Start with one page at a time. God loves us ALL and wants a relationship with us.
We lead others to Christ not by tearing down their beliefs or insisting we are right, but by radiating a LIGHT so full of GRACE and LOVE that they can't help but be drawn to its source, yearning them to experience themselves.
Thank you for letting me share some of my testimony with you. Love you ALL. GOD BLESS 🙏

As of August 10, 2026, my diagnosis has been changed to Hypersensivity Pneumonitis to rat exposure, or more specifically Rodent-Handler's Lung. I finally got in to see a Allergy Specialists and with thorough testing I don't have asthma. I am completely off all asthma meds for a month now and am fine. I needed to see an allergist not just a pulmonologist. I am not going to stop telling the TRUTH of what happened to me and hopefully this will spread awareness of the seriousness of working in an rodent infested building.

I am speaking up to prevent anyone else from getting sick! It is only a matter of time until someone else does! I hope all of those air purifiers help inside that Barbershop.

This is MY truth.

Unfortunately, I was unsuccessful in my workers' compensation case against Anchorage Barbershop because my pulmonologist would not confirm that my illness was caused from rodents. My attorney had evidence that I never had asthma before this incident, but the pulmonologist's office refused to have any contact with my legal representation. They shut down all communication and wouldn't even send my medical records.

My main concern was the potential health risks to others, especially if they hired another Licensed Massage Therapist to go in that room. I never lied and I wasn't trying to get a paycheck. I have only told the TRUTH. It was and still is the right thing to do.

I have accepted this outcome as God's will. My faith in God and my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ has not wavered despite this experience. It has only GROWN STRONGER with yet another obstacle in my life. However, I was disappointed by the medical and justice systems.

My heart is grateful for the people who have reached out to me and was there for me during all of this. It has been so hard for everyone. Not just me. ❤️ I have faith I will be able to work again one day. I have a gift and want to still continue to help as many people as I can. To all of my clients, I still miss you all and I hope you are all doing well.

Isaiah 41:10
Even on the hardest days, take a deep breath and remember; you are upheld by a power greater than yourself.

I do want to add a huge Thank You to my P*P for getting me into to see my pulmonologist as soon a she did. He spent 3 hours with me on my first visit. They both honestly saved my life. They really did. 🙏

Tom P. Haney - Licensed Massage Therapy - Class of 1999! ✌️❤️🙏
Found some OLD photos when I was in Massage School in Panama City, Florida.
So many amazing memories with this class. I was so excited to start a new career and become a LMT. For the state of Florida, Massage Therapy just started getting regulated by the board of nursing and we officially moved to the health field. Massage Therapy was being introduced in chiropractor offices, gyms, PT clinics and therapists were opening their own practices throughout Panama City and all over the panhandle. My first job I had right out of massage school was at Advanced Medical Physicians Group/ PrimeCare for almost 5 years. I had dreams of moving to Tampa to join a sports Massage practice. Tampa was the hot spot in early 2000's for medical/sports Massage Therapy. My life took a different turn and I moved away with my ex who was military. I put my massage table away and became a stay at home Mom to both of my girls. It wasn't until 2019 I reactivated my license and transfered my Florida license to Virginia. Thank you for letting me share a little bit of my history with you. I have always enjoyed being a LMT and all the people I have got to meet and work on throughout my journey. ❤️

Good Morning. I hope everyone is feeling good and ready for the new year. I just wanted to share an update after my doctor appointment this morning. I am still unable to work. I was told I should reevaluate my career. My lungs are just not doing good and pulmonary rehab maybe my next step to get my lungs better. I am sorry to have to post this but I wanted to give everyone here an update.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of my beautiful mom Wanna Tass. She passed away peacefully surrounded by my sisters and I this morning.
It is a very challenging time for my family but part of us is happy that mom can finally rest without pain and be reunited with her late husband William "Bill" Tass.
I am unfortunately going to be absent from work for an unknown amount of time to deal with everything here in Florida. I am hoping to be back as soon as 3 weeks.
Thank you for understanding this sensitive time for my family.

I will be back to work next week with my regular schedule! My Mom is doing good and recovering. Thank you all for your prayers. 💗
