For the love of Massage

At the Bloor/Jane Diner (A family favourite!) 

I'm officially back at work and have been doing massage treatments for almost 3 weeks now. It feels great to get back into the thick of things so to speak and I'm feeling stronger every day. I've really missed being able to massage and the magic that it brings. Being able to help people really is something I excel at, am inspired by and is a huge part of who I am. Not being able to work has taken a toll on me physically, mentally and emotionally. All it took was treating one client and I felt like myself again, I literally walked out of the room with a huge grin on my face, practically skipping with joy at how wonderful it is to make people feel better. It made me realize I'll never be able to stop massaging entirely, at least not for any length of time.

Being an RMT and being able to make a difference in people's lives, even a little bit, is something I'm very proud of. Big or small, every time I help someone I feel a little bit better about myself. Even though my job is physical, it fills me with energy and inspiration every day. I've learned so much over the years from my clients, grown so much as a person and continued to expand my skills as an RMT. The learning is never over and that's what I love the most about this profession. You can always learn something new and will never get bored of your work, especially when you love what you do.

My problem is being able to share that knowledge with my fellow RMT's, because I really only have so many hours in the day and so many clients I can treat. All of my new knowledge is useful of course in my own treatments, but I want to help so many more people and in order to do that I have to teach. Its a new role for me, one that has happened naturally and one that I hope to nurture and expand upon. Designing and teaching courses is a whole new ball game but one I want, need and very much hope to explore. It's a challenge for me and unexplored territory but it's challenges like this that help me to grow as a person.

Every time I reach a bridge in life where I want to do something but don't yet necessarily have the skills or means to do so, I find a way, or work my way towards that goal until it happens. Again and again I've surprised myself. Many of my goals are too large to ever happen in a week, month or even years but as long as I continue to dream, work towards my goal even in a small way all the time, eventually I will get there. This, I know and have proven to myself to be true. I try to remember that when my dreams seem so far away and so hard to make true. I've already accomplished almost every goal I've set for myself in life, so what is stopping me?
