๐ฟ 1st Anniversary - Healing Heart Massage
One year ago, I opened my own massage shop. Excitingโฆ but also a little scary. Owning my own shop had always been my dream, and finally, that dream came true. Yet, I felt so anxiousโwondering if I could manage everything, make the right decisions, reach out to new clientsโฆ everything was new to me. I know every business owner goes through this, and now I truly understand why.
Over the past year, Iโve learned so much. Of course, I still have many things to improve and ways to grow my business. But what has touched my heart the most is meeting so many wonderful clients. Your support, trust, and kindness have been incredibly heartwarming. Connecting with you reminds me why I love what I do.
I truly believe massage is not just about relaxing your bodyโitโs about caring for your mind and heart, too. If the mind is busy or stressed, the body cannot fully relax. But when your mind can rest, your body can truly let go, and deep relaxation can happen. I feel honored to be part of your moments of rest and renewal. Seeing your smiles and hearing your stories over this past year has been my greatest reward.
Sometimes I still ask myself: Why did I want my own shop? Am I doing enough? But every time, my heart simply whispers: I wanted to do this. And I am proud of myself for taking the leap.
I will continue learning, growing, and improving my skills. I look forward to seeing you, supporting your body, and being part of your journey in life.
Thank you for being part of my first year ๐
With love,
Akiko
