I did not start this business to win awards. I just wanted to do what I loved on my own terms.

However, it does feel good to get your flowers when you are still able to smell them. Thank you so much Motiqua Ewing-Forde for this nomination and recognizing me in this way. 💕

‼️Update‼️

The response to yesterday’s post has been overwhelming. Thank you to all who shared. I am not able to take any additional requests at this time and I will be in touch with everyone who has inquired. Please be sure to reply back ASAP to ensure your spot. I will continue to go through my list until the spaces are filled. I wish I had space to take care of all who asked.

It is clear there is a need.

Massage therapy is now being recognized as a vital part of healthcare instead of just a luxury service. Unfortunately, not everyone has the means to access this modality.

Thanks to the support of Nova Scotia Association of Black Social Workers , I am able to offer free massage therapy appointments to community members of the Preston Township. Specifically, those without, or with limited, extended healthcare coverage.

Appointment slots are available to a limited number of participants to ensure quality and quantity of care provided. These appointments will be offered on select evening and Saturday time slots throughout February and March at my office in Cole Harbour.

If you, or a family member, would like care for an acute injury, chronic pain, or a general boost to your/their overall health and well-being, please send me a DM or email kneadtostretch@gmail.com.

With gratitude,
Ashley
