Alys Cavanagh graduated in 2009 from the Melbourne Institute of Massage Therapy. Since then she has embarked upon a journey that is an inspiration to us all and just goes to show how much can be achieved when hard work and determination are applied to turn a dream into reality. And that is where it started – Alys had a dream – in her words “To shine a light in dark places. See potential. Enable change”. The dark place within the community that she found was the place of homelessness and marginalization, and a light she could shine for them was with her hands.
