highlights "the living" because the other awareness day is dedicated to honoring the memory of individuals whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence - shockingly high statistics for 2024 in the US:⁠

I am showing my from face in this photo because it kills me that living and adults are already being denied medical care despite laws that are in place to protect access ... but on the inside I am so tender and despairing that it's so hard for folks just to get to live and be who they are! 💣️⁠

It's national business day!⁠
⁠
While we are only a business, it's still a good moment to reflect on the ways we make history every day with the work we do as massage therapists in this in !⁠
⁠
our owner/founder Kiera Nagle has a mission - supported by her talented and caring team, we provide inclusive, evidence based therapy, education, and services from a trauma informed perspective.⁠
⁠
As a small team we are really able to support our clients in an individualized manner. We love to follow up after a session, check in about how folks are feeling, and make manageable suggestions or provide appropriate referrals to other practitioners when needed.⁠
⁠
We get to provide massage in a beautiful, calm and specially curated boutique studio space where we provide customized massage sessions and we ourselves feel relaxed while we work. ⁠
⁠
Is it a stretch to say we are making history? We don't think so. The and education we do with clients has an impact on the ways they move through the world, their - and in some cases, their babies. The work we do with and folks does have an impact beyond any one person or moment. It may not be the kind of history that is written about, but it is work that is felt on a level and we recognize the profoundness of that!⁠
⁠
And yes, this photo of our owner/founder Kiera Nagle isn't totally current but it's such a good one, taken by and hadn't been posted yet!

Today is - a day to honor women’s achievements socially, economically, culturally, and politically.⁠
⁠
In a time where are being taken away, it’s important to celebrate and stand in solidarity with our communities. ⁠
⁠
are at the heart of ⁠
We are a company started and owned by a ***r woman and specializing in for and from a perspective.⁠
⁠
Today we want to celebrate how women paved the way for and care as we practice it now.⁠
⁠
There is a long across many cultures of women as healers. They used touch and massage to help their community, particularly as / practitioners. They used massage to treat things like positioning or as support during labor. In the west, during the 1700s women could not be doctors, but they assisted doctors as medical rubbers. As they worked with patients for rehab and treated conditions. ⁠
⁠
If you haven't already read "Witches, Nurses & Midwives" it's a super important text to understand the context of the pivotal role of women in and how our power has been usurped, resulting in the current state of today. ⁠
⁠
As with much of women’s work, the women who laid these foundations for us are anonymous. But here in the US we do have one woman to thank by name: Agnes Bridget Forbes became the first female licensed in 1916. Today 81% of massage therapists in the US identify as female.⁠
⁠
At MaMassage we are proud to follow in these women’s footsteps, and love the women we get to work with, both clients and coworkers!
