Before becoming a Massage Therapist, Athena achieved a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology from George Mason University. During this time in college, she worked as a Preschool Teacher and then as a Nanny. In this child and family caregiver role, she gained a special appreciation for what many people experience during pregnancy and the postpartum period.
