Summer classes are officially over! Half way through my program now!! 🤩 Now get to enjoy 4 full weeks off from school. Need to rest and reset during this time because once fall semester starts it is going to get crazy! I'll be in class Monday-Thursday every week taking on 7 classes! I'll also have my first clinics where anyone from the community can come in and get an hour massage with us students. Kind of nervous about that but I got it!

I can not believe we are half way through July already! That means summer is half way over! 😢 I would love to hear what you have already done this summer or any up coming plans you may have! I have a 3 day trip planned to the UP. Where we will be ignoring TLC and chasing waterfalls! What are your summer plans?

The power to touch. Such a simple thing but has so much power.

Last week for my Wednesday night class, we visited an assisted living home. There were 6 residents of varying needs. We gave them massages in which ever capacity we could. Whether that was in their motorized chair, in their bed, in a Lay-Z-boy type chair we meet their needs and gave them massages. Some only wanted their upper body done. Others were ok with whole body.

My point is again, massage is for EVERY BODY. Every person, every body type, every physical limitation. A massage therapist will always find ways to accommodate to YOU!

Proof that hard work pays off. Made President's list last semester and pulled a 4.0 as well! This is my goal every semester!

We all need self care. Remember, you can't care for others until you care for yourself. Like they say on airplanes, put YOUR oxygen on first then help others. What will be your hour of self care this week?

This is a great explanation of that 'drunk' feeling! And also why I always ask if you need any assistance getting off the table.

Did you know massage benefits almost everyone?! There are only a few contraindications (things we MUST avoid) when it comes to massaging clients. Most of the time we can just avoid an area.

A long standing belief was massage was not ok for cancer patients. The thought was, since massage helps move blood and other fluids around, it would spread cancer. This has since been debunked.

Massage for cancer patients is actually very beneficial. Some of the benefits of massage for cancer patients are:

*Helps control discomfort and pain
*Reduces isolation and fear
*Eases insomnia
*Improves digestion and elimination
*Can improve one's outlook on life

There are MANY other benefits to receiving massage while battling cancer.
