Since massage school in 2010, I have always loved the concept of being mindful of your body! That is what the essence of my whole business and work is all about. Being aware of your body. I have LOVED helping those who take time for themselves and understand that we work together as a team to find that beautiful awareness of your body and what you need to further your journey in wellness.
It's been said, that a plumber's sink always has the leak. Meaning, whatever job/career you're in, you put everyone else first before taking care of yourself! I remember thinking I was NOT going to be put into that category when I first heard that. I did not want to be one of those massage therapists that told people getting a monthly massage was good for them, and then not taking my own advice. I feel like I have done a pretty good job when it comes to that. I receive massages regularly as I know the benefits and I do my best at stretching, drinking water, taking note of what I put in my body, lowering my stress, and all the other things I tell my clients. Never at a time am I MORE in tune with my body as I am when pregnant. Each pregnancy for me, brings me closer to alignment with myself. I take even more precautions and strive a little extra to make sure I'm doing all that I can. I feel VERY grateful for my body's ability to do so as I have struggled with infertility and have worked with many who struggle with it also. As I enter into the 2nd trimester with baby number FOUR (that still is a bit of a shock but we're excited) I can't help but to think of how much is on my plate. Being a mom of 3, trying to keep the house functioning, taking time for massage clients, all while still holding onto my dear motto of being body aware, is just a lot! Throughout all of my pregnancies, I've chosen to continue to provide massage to my wonderful clients. It's a bit more difficult (with belly in the way) but has been manageable. This time around, I have chosen to take a step back from doing massages while I focus on growing our little family. I LOVE contributing to helping those help themselves and connecting with clients is one of my favorite things to do, so making this decision was not easy! I am so grateful for the understanding and supportive group of dear clients, friends and family. Thank you for your thoughts and prayers as I focus on my wellness journey. PLEASE keep in touch and know that I am sending prayers for you as well.
