Typical me when it comes to my calling, always reinventing the wheel when I feel like a 🐬 in stagnant water.
As seemingly nice as my office was at glacial hills, I felt like my clients weren't getting the quiet peaceful atmosphere they deserve with so many businesses in the same building. When clients and I can hear the people beside me on the phone or construction being done outside the window of my treatment room, fire drills, doors locked so they have to wait for me to find the door they're at to let them while they wait out in the cold... I noticed the difference in my clients being able to relax while receiving bodywork, and a hesitancy to talk freely about the discomfort/issues/medical history and current conditions that as a therapist I need to know to better help them achieve their wellness goals.
With my reputation as a great massage therapist that truly cares about my clients through word of mouth and Google reviews, people come from Omaha, Falls City & Lincoln Nebraska, Lawrence, Lansing, Leavenworth, Powhattan, in Kansas Kickapoo & Sac & Fox reservation, Hiawatha, Horton, Seneca, Gardener and Olathe, St Joseph, etc...clear to this cute little hole in the corner of 4 states to experience the skills I learned through years of apprenticeship under Brian Lay of Golden Tiger Wellness.
He let me go because as a sensei, he said I needed to prove to myself I could do it on my own and to go to massage school to expand my knowledge in this beautiful and amazing unconventional industry that I can tell you can help your body resort to its natural state of homeostasis. And I know the trigger points on the body you won't even realize I'm doing to quiet the mind, allowing one to go within and let the sedation begin!
I've witnessed increased mobility in clients that could hardly walk.
After an accident or chronic pain; serious medical conditions or mental health struggles, clients break my empathetic heart when they confide in me that a modern medicine doctor has given them 5 years to live, or they they would never be able to go back to work again, or other than pain pills or invasive surgery, there's nothing else that can be done.
✔️ Pain is Pain is Pain. Who spends their time and money to seek out a solution only to be labeled as a drug seeker and told their going to die or not be able to do the hobbies they enjoy anymore unless they pay to play? Most proceeds go to to their bank accounts courtesy of big pharma while the sick get sicker. Only quacks can sleep at night getting people hooked on drugs with side effects worse than the chief complaint. Not to mention, most are too wooed by pharmaceutical industry vacation bribes to look up drug interactions.
Pain is real. Trauma is real. But experimental drugs and surgeries? Society as a whole are realizing just temporarily mask the problem. I have not once thought that someone coming in for a treatment was faking pain. To even admit pain or trauma or mental health struggles is extremely difficult because the hurting individual has sadly been made to feel small, weak, or hopeless if they speak their truth about their symptoms. But the paradigm is beginning to shift.
I have had people break down and cry simply because I say "you are in pain or you wouldn't be here." Simply by validating someone's pain experience, it is so rare that the practitioner will not only believe them, but offer ideas for solutions even after their time is up. Stretches, nutrition, hydration, chiropractic care or acupuncture, qi gong or tai chi-
Even something as simple as trying different footwear or ditching the bra as often as possible can help tremendously. Working on sleep hygeine, hot bath or foot soak with eposm salt...none of these require a prescription pad. I Do Not disgnose illness or disease. And as I'm forced to say, always check with your doctor.
I'm just A CRUNCHY HIPPIE with common sense that gets fulfillment noticing the difference in someone's face from the time they walk in to the time they leave. The smile I see in their eyes as they thank me and rebook their next self-care treat is really a treat for me too! Such a satisfying career choice, but really, God put me up to it since age 5 I've known that this is my life's purpose. One of the major one's anyway♡
And after hearing the neighbor Tennant screaming at her husband on the phone or going off on the phone to whoever saying I'm not a real massage therapist I have $ #× for money...I'm like WOW. I spent 33 grand to put myself through college 2 hours away as a single mom!
To learn, improve my knowledge of anatony, kinesiology, pathology, and to explore the different techniques that can be used to correct painful holding patterns in the musculature and fascia, to identify where trauma is in the body, and be able to successfully help someone release a negative emotion or energy they didn't even know they were holding onto since childhood or an abusive relationship. To rebuild their connection to their inner self and the body's innate ability to heal itself? So. Very Rewarding.
GOD gave me the gift of being an instrument of healing to those that are ready to help me help themselves. I close my eyes pretty much the entire time after asking what's going on in their body and asking their stress level on a scale of one to ten. My pre-session interview can get the nervous chatter out of the way and build rapport, to put client at ease. Then I tell them to undress to their comfort level after I leave the room but that they would be properly draped and i'll be back in 3-5 minutes & after I tap on the door and verbally ask if they are ready to begin, I take both of us to our happy place. It helps me to help others both in my physical and emotional body!
Then I come in and it's odd but the most commonly asked question asked? How do you immediately know where to start
to release the discomfort that I I forgot to mention? I SAY "the a deep breathe: or "welcome back to your body!" My hands and forearms know right where to begin working to provide relief. And it's because I nerd out on the science & secrets behind this ancient touch therapy thing via energy meridians, Traditional Chinese Medicine, Shiatsu, acupressure, cupping, Reflexology, Energy work etc. These are just a few of the modalities I specialize in that I acquired from teachors, mentors, and of couse WellSpring School of Allied Health—Lawrence
These things have been helping people find relief for approximately 6 thousand years, when The Yellow Emporer and other pioneers began to record the case studies and even real science and studies behind the mind-body-spirit connection.
No, it's not witchctaft. Am accredited colllege helped me legitimize what I do & to dispel that stigma that Regular clients and new clients all read and sign the same policies and procedures and as a whole, respect me and what I do.
I used to have to say to unknown internet people that you get one joke about a happy ending, and it better be funny and a joke because the second time that term is mentioned results in me telling the very few that have not respected me and my written and spoken boundaries, that they won't be able to return for my services.
So when people don't want me in their space, they are either intimidated by my work ethic, or really need a massage but to afraid to admit it. My energetic boundaries don't allow me to work in a hostile environment that's more like a high school than a place where authentic breakthroughs in health are possible.
DM me for my new location(s)... This diamond in the rough must go somewhat incognito because I won't allow clouds to dim my sunshine!
The main location is in Sabetha.
