Since graduating from massage therapy school in December 2018, Davey has been working at Tuscan Sun Spa & Salon's Morgantown location, which he describes as the "perfect place to start a career." Davey says that helping his clients reach their goals and enriching their day with a Tuscan Sun massage is one of the most rewarding things he has ever experienced, especially when it comes to expecting mothers. Out of all of the services, he enjoys giving prenatal massages because of their ability to transform the way women feel and de-stress their bodies, which have often become tired and worn from carrying another "little person." As for his favorite product? Davey loves working with Mary's Nutritionals' Muscle Freeze, a plant-based topical cream that is infused with full-spectrum hemp extract containing naturally occurring CBD, wholesome mango butter, and cooling menthol to deeply soothe muscle aches and pains.
