I have been sitting on two huge announcements and I'm ready to announce the first!
Before October 2023, the world of state, national, and world massage championships was not on my radar at all. I had no idea they existed! I signed up on a whim, just being led by intuition (or head first Aries fire power lol) and competed in my first state championship. Thanks to schwantes organizing the first SD Tri/Quad State Championships back in March (South Dakota, Iowa, Nebraska, and North Dakota)!
It was nerve-wracking, eye-opening, and especially confidence boosting! These past few years, I've been on a journey of coming back to life and saying yes to living again. It was difficult to do at first and is still very uncomfortable at times, but opening myself up to the world again has been exciting, insightful, and full of copious adventures and wonderful opportunities.
☀️After that little novel, are you ready for the announcement? My kiddos have known, my clients have known, now I'm “publicly” sharing that in 10 days, I'll be making the 15ish hour drive to North Carolina to participate in the American Massage Championships and World Massage Festival! It will be my first time ever at both events! For AMC, I'm competing in Thai (placed first at State Championships back in March, currently ranked 5th) and I'll also be competing in Eastern Freestyle. The second season USAMC rankings have me at 57th out of 229 participants! AMC is July 12-14th and WMF is July 15th -18th.☀️
I'm so ready to continue challenging myself, learning a plethora of information to bring back to my Massage studio and elsewhere, and this time to network with so many Massage therapists traveling from all over the country and the world!
I'll try to update more as it gets a little closer, but now you know :)
Happy 1st day of July! Be safe, aware, hydrated, and have fun during this holiday week!
