I’ve been a Licensed Massage Therapist for 3 years now and for all 3 years I’ve dedicated my studying hours to pre- and perinatal massage. Little did I know that getting to be a part of the journey in motherhood would carry so much meaning.
Peri•na•tal: occurring in, concerned with, or being in the period around the time of birth.
25 spots - $10/spot - 2 winners. 45 minute massage - can be prenatal or relaxation.
This will raise $250 and East Texas Massage Therapy is going to match it making the donation from our community $500.
In honor of our beautiful daughter Kya June, these funds will be donated to a nonprofit organization called Parents Left Behind. They help with grieving parents in multiple ways but most recently I had the privilege of attending a weekend retreat offered completely free of charge for grieving mothers through donations and generosity from others. I could go on and on about all that it did for me and how amazing it all was but this post is already long. 😅 just know that every second I was there I could tell how much intention, love, and care went into this retreat. To TOP IT ALL OFF there was a very sweet Licensed Massage Therapist who graciously volunteered her entire weekend to us. I think one night I was on her table at 1 in the morning.🥹 truly a superwoman. Praying that this retreat keeps growing and they’ll need a second LMT! 🤭😆
I feel more thankful than ever that I get the greatest opportunity of holding space for women in this journey. Motherhood looks so different for every mama - all walking through different seasons and stages. Mothers praying for 2 pink lines, Mothers carrying rainbow babies, mothers so excited to finally be expecting their first, mothers battling postpartum depression, mothers who need a break, mothers who are grieving.. I am only this strong because I know I have so many mothers on this journey with me. No matter what season you’re in this year on Mother’s Day weekend we want you to know you are seen and valued as a mama as well as one freaking amazing individual.
Thank you for taking the time to read this post - it means so much to me.. see my next post to get a spot!! Share with your friends!
All my love, Emily 🤍🤍🤍🤍
