Happy Monday, friends

Whether you’re scrolling on your phone or sitting at a desk, this is your weekly reminder to:

• sit up straight
• soften your shoulders
• unclench your jaw
• unfurrow your brow
• and take a deep breath

Have a great week, everyone!

Got an unfortunate reminder today of why my privacy, safety, and referral policies are as strict as they are! Unfortunately, there are people who view massage therapy as an opportunity to purchase sexual activity. It shouldn’t be that way, but it is. Today, my vetting policies saved me from some trouble.

If you’re a mobile therapist especially, practice phrases like “I won’t be able to take you on as a client.” It’s extremely cringey when you have to say it, so it helps to practice in advance. Being able to say difficult things when you feel unsure or unsafe is incredibly hard to do.

To feel safe, I believe it’s necessary to really honestly listen to yourself. Listen to what your body is telling you to experience. Experiencing sensations of fear, danger, dislike, or even just mild discomfort, warrants your attention. When in doubt, listen to your tummy. It’s not worried about finances or rebooking rates, it’s got YOUR best interests in mind. Losing a client is unquestionably worth respecting your boundaries and protecting your practice.

The moral of the story: Respect yourselves, your clients, and your therapists. There is no room for predatory behavior in a healing space.

MASSAGE SHOULDN'T HURT! Yes, even deep tissue massage! There is a world of difference between therapeutic discomfort and pain. If you're regularly spending time and money to endure pain, you're not receiving massage therapy. Even chronic issues can be worked on in noninvasive ways!
