Called to Massage

massageblogpos2People often ask why I decided to become a massage therapist.

The truth is I felt called.

Prior to this decision I had never received a professional massage. But that feeling and voice inside of me called to me, telling me that this was the direction my path should go. It would be another year before I could take the steps to attend massage school. I have been told on many occasions that I have a gift for massage. I know that this is one of my many talents. Following my inner voice has brought me joy, fulfillment, and success beyond what I thought I could have achieved.

There was a time when I was first out of school that the thought of working for or with a chiropractor doing any kind of treatment massage was very intimidating. Since then I have rented rooms from two separate chiropractors. A large percentage of my clientele seek me out for treatment. I am by nature a curious person and love learning. It is my goal to be a perpetual student and lifelong learner. No matter how much talent, skill, and knowledge a person has, they can always improve. I had some clients come to me with major issues in their tissues. I received the education and skill to help them. I yearned to continue on this path. I have knowledge and skill. This is where my intuition comes into play. I “listen” to what the tissues need and follow through with treatment. I love helping people feel better.

I was taught in massage school that “Pain is a part of life but suffering is optional.”

We all have gifts and talents that can bless and lift the lives of others.
