Uprooted

I thought this would feel like a simple transition.

Pack up my things, move into a new space, set everything back up… and fall right back into my massage flow.

But instead, it has felt more like something in my soul was pulled up from where it had grown comfortable and shaken loose,
my roots cringing when exposed to the open air.
I had outgrown where I was at in life and am now trying to take root somewhere with more room to expand.
But I didn’t expect to feel so unsteady in this new soil.
Some things in my life felt like they had to break apart to make room for whats to come.
I know I’m not quite who I was…
but I’m not fully settled into who I’m meant to become, either.
I’m learning to let that excite me instead of terrify me.

I’ve been massaging for 15 years now.
8 years specializing in medical massage.
5 years running my independent practice.
4 years studying herbalism.
A few years going to college for psychology sprinkled in there…

And still, there is always more to learn.
I’ve been feeling the pull to dig deeper
to keep refining my skills,
to take new classes,
to bring in new tools,
to weave in more herbalism,
to create something that feels more authentically me.
So that I can show up to the massage table with purpose, and be fully prepared to help each client in whatever way I’m called to.

My suite, just like me, is a work in progress. Not much has gone according to plan.
The suite I originally tried to move into wasn’t big enough for the dream I have been envisioning
So, I switched to a bigger suite last minute and started working on clients again within an hour of moving in, didn’t skip a beat.
My schedule has changed a couple times trying to figure out life with and an 11 year old and a 1 year old.
Decorating has gone awry here and there, but its turning into a space I love going to.
I’m so grateful my clients have rolled with the punches.

What I’m creating is more than just a place to get a massage.
It’s a space where you can step away from the noise of the world.
Be still…Tune in.. and focus on your own healing.

To my past, present, and future clients:
Thank you.

It is truly an honor to be trusted with your bodies, your stories, and your healing.
To witness you through different stages of your life…
and to be accepted as I grow and evolve right alongside you.
