Some of the best gifts are the ones we give to ourselves, the ones only our bodies know. The only kind of gifts we get to leave the physical and visit the ethereal. Go to the place we get to unzip and let go. Breathe in, followed by a loud exhale. Those are the gifts that keep giving to us, long after we've left the table.
I got to spend the last full moon cycle with the ones I've worked on since I was at UCMT. The bodies that have known my touch since before discovering I even had one; before I ever knew how to blend strokes, or consciously work energy. These are the bodies who've helped me hone and harness my work throughout the years, always willing to be the first to experience a new technique I'm working on and give me honest feedback. The whole family really, is my right hand woman.
I remember working on my two, now teenage, nieces, when they were 2 and 4, with two fingertips and a 4.5 pressure; to now giving their maturing bodies deeper and more methodical, even a layer of, spiritual work. Watching bodies grow through the course of lifetime massage is a gift that will forever nourish me and keep me reflective in gratitude and awe.
This will always be my love language to share.
The gift of watching all of you grow throughout the years, from family to friends to clients, is a gift I am ever touched by. I can't get sappy enough honestly... I could get way sappier.
Thank you EVERYONE who has allowed me to witness the growth of you, your babies, and your families. You're my home.
