I guess we're winning the game (the one I totally knew about ๐Ÿ˜…) since I keep hearing "WOOO!" while Rocky Top plays every so often at the pub down the street from my massage studio. So... Go Vols, I guess! ๐Ÿ˜‚ WOOO! ๐Ÿ“ฃ ๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿงก And these zinnias outside in the garden are celebratory too! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿงก๐Ÿค๐Ÿฅฐ

๐ŸŒง๏ธ I'm always a little jealous of clients getting a therapeutic massage on a rainy day. ๐Ÿ˜… Especially with some light thunder rolling in the background. (sound on - it's good stuff! โ›ˆ๏ธ ๐Ÿฉถ)

I'm fully booked this weekend and next week, but don't worry - rainy days at home are great too! ๐Ÿ˜‰ Still some availability the last week of March! (Already! ๐Ÿ˜ฎ)

Wishing all the best for all y'all today. ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ’™

My Mama gifted me this Christmas ornament ๐ŸŽ„ when I had only been a massage therapist for two years. ๐ŸŒŸ It's something I continue to treasure in my heart. ๐Ÿ’ This prayer rang especially true this year as I continue my calling to grow my small business.๐Ÿ™

Celebrating 1 Year in Business!

543 hours of massage & bodywork performed,
388 therapeutic services provided (over half are 90-min sessions),
456 followers,
117 signups,
77 clients,
37 monthly subscribers,
and 37 continuing education hours,

Plus...

100s of hours developing a business plan, setting up software systems, building and maintaining a website, marketing the work I'm passionate about, managing payment processing, scheduling appointments, learning and implementing all of these entrepreneurial and business management skills...

Plus all the time and energy it takes in the background to even create and grow a business at all. Daydreaming, planning, creatively thinking, finding new ways to improve...

Phew! Yeah, it's a lot. ๐Ÿ˜… Exhausting and challenging, yet infinitely and immensely rewarding and fulfilling.

And to top it all off, I'm in a yoga teacher training program, too! (Stay tuned for some exciting offerings in the New Year! ๐Ÿ˜)

As it turns out, being an entrepreneur is never ending. There's not really a "clocking out" anymore, not in the traditional sense. It's different now. This has become a significant and constant part of my life. In fact, I sometimes find it challenging to not think about or do work during my time off.

I've already been a licensed massage therapist for 10 whole years now, and it's always been more than just a job for me.

It's been my profession, my passion, and my vocation for a decade. I'm always striving to learn more, grow my skillsets, and become more competent and intentional in my craft.

Everything is so intertwined that "work" is something I am finding difficult to define now that I am fully immersed in my Life's Work. ๐Ÿ™

I just want to help people feel better. This is who I am, this is what I do.

As I celebrate this first year, please know I am infinitely grateful for your support, whatever that looks like.

If you're cheerleading me from the sidelines, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™
If you're praying for my wellbeing and success, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™
If you're sending good and loving energy and vibes my way, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™
If you're telling people about me and my business, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™
If you've scheduled a massage service with me, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™
If you're buying Gift Cards, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™
(Christmas specials on the way!๐ŸŽ„๐ŸŒŸโ„๏ธโ›„)
If you subscribe to my monthly massage service package, THANK YOU! ๐Ÿ™

However you're supporting me, THANK YOU!! ๐Ÿ™

Even by simply liking and following this page and liking/reacting to my Appalachia Wellness posts you're helping me so much! ๐Ÿ’ฏ Visibility matters and allows me the opportunity to keep doing the work I truly love.

This is just the beginning for Appalachia Wellness. Thank you for being a part of Chapter One. ๐Ÿ˜Š

The only real downside to my career over the years has been the lack of windows. I need sunlight to thrive! โ˜€๏ธ So when I was searching for a studio space this time last year and gearing up to open Appalachia Wellness, windows were a necessity. ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Now I get to do the work I love doing AND I get to experience the day! ๐Ÿฅฐ Being able to open the blinds between clients and work in a consciously crafted therapeutic space with windows has genuinely been such an immense blessing in my life.

Wishing all y'all a blessed and beautiful day. ๐Ÿ™ Remember to get some sunshine! โ˜€๏ธ

Yesterday marked my 10 year anniversary as a Licensed Massage Therapist, and I can't help but feel humbled and deeply grateful for this opportunity to do work I love that leaves a positive impact on people's lives. Last week two clients told me that God has truly given me a gift with massage, and another commented that I'm definitely doing what I'm meant to be doing. Those are significant statements.

People regularly tell me how much I help them feel better, and being a part of that is absolutely incredible. My goals in this life are to spread kindness and to help people feel better as best I can, and I'm thankful to be accomplishing that in my own ways despite my shortcomings.

This past year has been filled with faith and doubt, triumphs and struggles. The road has been clear as day and clear as mud just as much. Working for myself is oftentimes hard. Opening and growing a new business is regularly exhausting. Nothing about this has been easy, and I know what lies ahead includes more challenges and more learning opportunities. But this is what I'm called to do.

And I know there will be more wins along the way, too. I already get a win every day I walk into my massage studio Appalachia Wellness and get to do work I love how I believe it should be done with truly client-centered care and elevated experiences.

This journey has been laid on my heart, and what I'm growing is something bigger than me. I forge forward on my path with faith.

Yesterday I commemorated the special occasion surrounded by the majesty of autumn at Cade's Cove in the Great Smoky Mountains. There's nothing quite like the beauty of Appalachia.

I'm blessed to have been planted here, and I'm looking forward to another decade of providing massage therapy services with humble gratitude. ๐Ÿ™ Thank you for supporting me, and thank you for being a part of this journey.
