REQUESTED, APPROVED & HIRED!! Massage & Bodywork services given to Elton John: Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour!!
The back story as to how this happened is why I give all praise in Long story but to keep it short, this is the second time his tour came to Columbia, and I could’ve provided services the first time but it didn’t happen which I was very upset about however no one can block what God has planned for you. So for this to come full circle, I’ll tell anyone to never give up and trust the process.
I am the first massage therapist to provide services for them since this tour began in January. Myself and everyone involved with the tour was surprised this was approved by the tour manger (pictured in next slide) for Elton John due to Covid protocols. EVERY person that entered the building to work had to take a rapid test and wear mask all day so the chances of close contact with massage was VERY slim but because everyone on the tour was in bad shape and I was already on site, my services were in high demand and the tour felt comfortable (tested me twice with a private nurse lol) in letting me work on everyone because I had the skill, experience, I carried myself very well but more so someone remembered me from 2 years ago and wanted MY services.
16hr day, but 5 1/2hrs of which I was massaging non-stop… SO MUCH RESPECT was given to me by the tour when they found out I was working as a stagehand and a therapist in pulling double duty with only a 45 minute break to myself the entire day, that being said they took very good care of me for an undisclosed amount in paying for my time and what I am worth. I’m a very grateful and appreciative the tour manager gave me this opportunity🙏🏾
As I said before, let your work speak for you and always be the hardest worker in the room.
SN: If you have a business or service, KEEP POSTING even if you don’t get support, likes or views. People see it and all it takes is for the right person to give you your break. “Likes” don’t give you validation, your talent does.
I am proud of myself ❤️
