How I Found GooDTherapY!

Being in my mid 40's has found me at a cross roads in my life.  Until I started as a massage student I seemed perfectly fine to just exist in my daily life, putting up with daily stress, and in general thinking that my pain would be just that a daily occurance...Several years ago I worked for a company that provided several times a year massage therapy for its employees.  This was my first exposure to massage and its many benefits.  I remember telling the therapist that her services were the best therapy that i had ever received for the physical pain that I was in.  After I left that job I did not see her again nor did i receive any more massage,...and until last year I had gone on living in a lot of pain without any kind of help or relief.  For years now I have been suffering from lower back pain, joint pain, and emotional pain...In 2008 I married a wonderful man, and low and behold I became a mom for the first time at 41!!  With the birth of my son, and the realization that he had cerebal palsy I found myself tending to his needs as an infant and then as a toddler.  He goes to his own therapy for physical and occupation therapies.  As a result i learned to tend to his needs as mother and as his therapist.  Being a massage therapist for a two year old now three year old is interesting but i have learned the value of massage at its very best.  So when I started as a student for massage at Bellus Academy I originally wanted to specialize in rehabilatative massage.  But after being exposed to the many modalities of massage and how each benefits anyone and everyone I now know that it does not matter what you say you specialize in massage is massage; and if your purpose is clear, and your intentions pure, and your heart humble, and mind in the right mindset not only will you help your clients find the GoodTherapY that they deserve; you will find GooDTherapY for yourself as well.  Remember GooDTherapY is all around you!  With a little creativity, and some inspiration, GooDTherapY can be found!  As a massage therapist it is my job to encourage you the client in finding the GooDTheraY that will work for you. 
PEACE!  HARMONY!  BALANCE!
until next time
