Finishing up my 11+year career like.... ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
That's a wrap!!
So this is it. 11.5yr and I put an end to the title, RMT. Am I sad? A bit. I put my everything in this career, after all. Regretful? Most definitely not. I have my reasons and the nature of my work really requires myself to feel resonated and believe in what I do. Without it, my profession becomes meaningless and it's just too hard physically and emotionally. I could not let that happen because I love what I do.
So, here is to an end, and also to a beginning of a new phase as you may put it. A forever learning soul will start her new journey as she ends one. The only thing is that I feel slightly guilty towards my parents because they worked really hard to put me in school and support me until I was ready to be financially independent throughout the school years.
But, such is life!! As they've never disapproved my decision, I'm sure they would have supported this one, too. ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜
Anyhow, Happy Tuesday๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŒฎ And thank you for all your support while I was an Rmt. And well, I'm still here as a therapist so if you need a treatment, Holla at me!! ๐Ÿ˜†
P. S. thank you, Haley for your generous words and the gift. I sipped my gin as I resigned myself tonight ๐Ÿ˜‚๐ŸŽ. Your kind words really helped me get through the ending. Thank you and I truly hope that our paths cross pass one day ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ™

Half triathlon ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ
The best part was to have a goal and more palpable purpose again in my exercise routine.
Very unpleasant first solid OW swim ๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ is in the book (I wanted to quit at each and every stroke. too many sighting attempts and breast strokes out of the fear of going off the course. I still managed to come out of the water with the head of the category group), and riding ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ on a highway was quite cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž(though the wind ๐ŸŒ€was against us constantly and it was clear I didn't train enough๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ... Got lapped by all the people and some more that I passed in the swimโ˜ ๏ธ). My least favorite discipline ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ turned out to be the most pleasant part of this race, surprisingly โ˜ ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ฒ (or maybe because my legs and feet felt numb ish by then).
My asthma has been at its worst peak this past week, and I was really scared I might end up on a stretcher so I'm proud of myself for doing the race and completing it๐Ÿ™โค๏ธ.
Also, the Beer fest after was just perfect way to end the day.
The adventure continues โค๏ธ (๐ŸŠโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿšดโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿป)

Consistency is the hardest part to achieve ๐Ÿ˜ฐ. As much as I love being active, I often lack in motivation to keep going, and I'm sure many of you can relate!
So, here's to a beautiful weekend that made it easier to stay motivated and being active๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ˜Š. Movement is a medicine. Keep your body moving, appreciate what it can do, and there is no such thing as too late/too slow/too weak to start. ๐Ÿ‘
My asthma got in the way of getting up this morning for a scheduled ride + swim but thank goodness I felt well enough to go for a jog in the evening ๐Ÿ™. Health is a wealth. ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ๐Ÿ‘Œ And I cannot thank my body enough for enabling me to do what I do. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ™

TMJ intraoral treatment ๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ‘
Ever since covid, needless to say I have been careful assessing the risks vs benefits especially when it comes to Intraoral treatment for TMJ dysfunction๐Ÿ‘„. However, when the pain is so crippling to my clients, I offer the treatment while taking all the precautions possible๐Ÿ™. And guys, I can't tell you how much difference TMJ intraoral treatment makes. Combined with medical acupuncture, intraoral takes so much pain and tension away, making an undeniable, instant release๐Ÿ™Œ!
Today, not only was my client so appreciative of the treatment knowing the risks we are both taking, she also said it was really worth it and felt the difference immediately ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ™.
Although things can be challenging at times these days (as for many others) , this made my day and made my work so much more rewarding โ˜บ๏ธโœŒ๏ธ.
Of course, I do offer TMJ treatment without intraoral session for those who prefer that way!
Any questions about TMJ dysfunction/jaw pain, or treatment options?
I gotchu! DM or email: Mugi.a.rmt@gmail.com

Happy new year!! ๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽŠโค๏ธ
I hope everyone had safe, restful, and fun (as fun as it could be under the current circumstances) holidays!ย 

In the light of our latest restrictions, I wanted to reassure you that I amย OPEN and OPERATING,ย as RMTs are still deemed mandatory.ย  I am ready to take care of you for the year 2022!!
However, please be reminded that this comes with enhanced restrictions and protocols, and I need everyone's cooporation in this matter so that you can all continue to safely receive the service with as little risk as possible.ย  Here are a few things I need you to keep in mind when booking/coming in for your appointment;
1) Make sure to complete and BE HONEST with your prescreening process.ย  This is for everyone's safety.ย 
2)ย WASHROOM is OFF-LIMIT at my place.ย  This is because I cannot possibly manage to clean/sanitize everything in the washroom before and after every client in the short prep time I have in between each appointment.ย 
3) PLEASE, PLEASEย be mindful when canceling/changing your appointment.ย  I have 24hr cancellation policy and this is for reasons.ย  I have a small, private practice with no foot traffic, therefore it is almost impossible to replace a last-minute canceled appointment (or most times with 24hr-notice).ย  Please give me as much notice as possible.ย  As all businesses are affected by our current situation, my practice is also no exception.ย  While I understand that emergencies do happen, please be considerate in other situations so I can keep my business sustainable.
4) Pleaseย sanitize your handsย at the time of arrival.ย  You may use your own hand sanitizer or please ask for mine. It is ready for everyone's use in the treatment room!
5) Last but not least...,ย MASKS are mandatory.ย  You must KEEP YOUR MASK ON AT ALL TIMES.ย  Yes, this meansย while you are facing down during treatment, too.ย  We are in a secluded, small space for 60 + minutes together with little to no ventilation.ย  It is to protect yourself, other clients after you, and ME!
Let's keep each other safe, and continue to take care of our health, mind, and body!
