I didn’t imagine when I was a kid that I would own and run a thriving massage therapy practice. I believed I was destined to work in business. In fact, for over ten years, I was employed as an office manager and bookkeeper for a small company located in Silver Spring, Maryland. But massage therapy chose me.
My days ran one into another as I put in over fifty hours a week in the office. Tack on a hellish commute both ways and I lived in perpetual exhaustion. I knew I had to make a change in my life and leap off the hamster wheel.
My hands spoke for me
One particularly stressful day when our office was busier than usual, I gave a co-worker a neck and shoulder massage. She declared she felt fantastic afterward. “You should become a massage therapist!”
I reflected on her words, letting them settle into my heart. It wasn’t the first time someone mentioned to me that I was gifted in this way. I decided to jump way outside my comfort zone and, at age forty-five, changed careers.
First position
My first paid massage therapist position was at a day spa in Elkridge. Over the year I spent there, I witnessed first-hand healing.
I soon had a full client load of wonderful people who booked to see me week after week or month after month. They and I noticed how their bodies and stress levels really changed! It felt like I was delivering miracle healing through my hands and I feel deeply in love with my craft.
Miracles everywhere
It didn’t take me long to figure I could start and operate my own healing business. Using my prior business and administrative skills, I created Miracles Massage.
I love my business and my work. Making real connections with my clients and being a conduit of healing is everything to me.
I enjoy listening to any of my client’s stories about their families, careers, and their happy or challenging times. Part of my holistic approach is to deeply connect with my clients, letting them decompress before we begin their massage. I follow my intuition, knowing on what areas I need to focus to give my clients the best therapeutic massage they’ve ever had (even if they’re regulars!).
I end each session by saying, “Thank you.” It’s an honor to serve my clients.
I’d love to serve you, too. Contact me and let’s get you scheduled!
