This was beautifully written years ago by another massage therapist, Cambie Jean Ford Stoffer. I can relate. How about you? 💖

“One of the most heartbreaking things about my job is the number of women that apologize to me about their bodies. And as a woman, I understand that feeling. There is a ridiculous standard set for every single inch of my physical being. I feel that self consciousness when I’m on a massage table, too. But as a therapist, I don’t look for flaws in my clients. I don’t see flaws in my clients. I see stories. I see trials. I see triumphs. I see strength. Sometimes we just need a quiet hour. Sometimes we need to talk and vent. Sometimes we need to laugh and share. All of these things are fine. My room, my table, is a safe space. Please don’t feel the need to apologize about ANYTHING, especially your body”💖
