How I look after myself as a massage therapist ⬇️
Boundaries 💗
I limit massages to a maximum of four per day. Over the years of practicing therapy, I’ve learned that my energy and strength are just as important as my technique. By doing fewer treatments, I can stay fully present for each client and give my absolute best without running on empty. Knowing my limits is part of how I honour both my body and my work.
Recovery 💗
Between clients and on my days off, I give my body the rest it needs. Time to unwind, stretch, and simply be helps my muscles recover and my nervous system reset. A good sleep routine is my best friend 😴
Movement 💗
Outside the treatment room, keeping mobile through exercise is so important. Running more recently has been an incredible mood booster and head clearer.
Nourishment 💗
I make sure to feed my body with good, wholesome food. Hydration, fresh and (mostly) balanced meals help fuel me from the inside out. I love cooking ☺️
Massages 💗
(I’m strict with this one!), every month without fail, I will get a massage - sometimes more often! It’s my favourite thing to do and so important for me to reminded how powerful touch is for healing. Practice what you preach!
Self care is nothing short of essential 🫶🏻
