Dear friends,
I’m writing this with a very full heart.
After a lot of reflection, I’ve decided to take a break from massage therapy. This choice hasn’t come easily — this work, and each of you, have meant so much to me. It has been an honor to care for your bodies, witness your healing, and build the kind of trust that only grows over time.
My last day in practice will be April 20, and I won’t be scheduling sessions beyond that point. If you currently have a gift card, please reach out to me so we can arrange a time to ensure it’s honored before that date. It’s important to me to take care of that thoughtfully.
At this stage in my life, I’m choosing to step into a new chapter by working as a CNA and pursuing my ASN. I’m feeling genuinely optimistic about this path — not only in how it can better support my family, but in the way a more well-rounded medical education may one day deepen and inform the way I show up in healing work, including massage.
While this transition is bittersweet, it allows me to grow in ways that feel aligned with both my values and my long-term vision.
Please know this: choosing to pause massage is not a reflection of how deeply I value you. I will truly miss our sessions, our conversations, and the connection we’ve shared. This chapter has shaped me in ways I’ll carry forward always.
Thank you for trusting me, for allowing me into your healing space, and for being part of my journey. I hope our paths cross again — whether through massage in the future or simply as kindred humans walking parallel roads.
Please take good care of yourselves, and trust that this pause comes from deep intention.
With deep gratitude and love,�Ashley Silva, LMT
