She received a six hundred and fifty hour certification for instructing Massage from Massage Therapy School, in Center Line Michigan, October of 2003.

After completing a six hundred and fifty hour year long program in Center Line Michigan, for instructors in October of 2003, DeAnna purchased Massage Therapy School in Center Line Michigan and became involved in the curriculum development, course scheduling, marketing, promotion, on-line program development and design, business applications and instructing the programs. 

In 2004 DeAnna became overwhelmed with the operations of the school and her own needs, she realised she wasn't taking enough time for herself when she began experiencing headaches, stiffness in her neck and dizzy spells. These dizzy spells got so intense that she could not lift her head. The medical community suggested Valium, anti depressants and muscle relaxers. Because DeAnna worked with massage she new massage would be the road for her. She chose an establishment where she would know no one.

DeAnna's  new therapist worked on her for one hour and she felt a little better. This therapist suggested she come back in three days, so DeAnna returned. The therapist suggested Thai massage DeAnna was wiling to try anything at this point so she agreed.

After this one and half hour session of Thai bodywork DeAnna could not believe how good she felt she actually went to work for eight hours for the first time in two weeks before the symptoms started to return. This gave DeAnna hope and a conformation this was stress related. DeAnna began receiving two Thai massages a week. She began to feel better after two weeks she had a complete recovery and a new lease on life after eight sessions. 

Because of these amazing results DeAnna decided to learn more about the Thai traditional art of  massage.  DeAnna received one on one training from her new Thai friend for two years and began working on people immediately the results have been amazing ever sense the story's of renewed health and recovered injury's are the most rewarding part of  her practice.

In 2007 DeAnna changed the name of her school to Trinity School of Therapeutic Massage to better suit the FlexibleLiving three level curriculum's she created and became recognized as a nationally certified school. Curriculum includes Level I - the Foundation for students with emphasis on Swedish massage, body mechanics, ethics and standards.
