#Massage Therapist

[youngchronicpain]

I had a massage yesterday and the masseuse would not stop talking about her son's personal medical information. (Which I will not detail here because I don't think I should have the information in the first place, but she told me extremely detailed information about his experiences, including how he and his wife feel about him becoming disabled.) She then went on to talk about her own surgeries and health.

It was really inappropriate. And she asked me really personal questions about my life that were not relevant to the massage. This was a fancy relaxing massage place, not a massage therapy place. But she said that her dream job was to work with people who "really needed it" rather than the "fufu fancy ladies" and she wasn't into doing the relaxing types of massage. (Funnily enough, I could only afford to be there because of my hard-working "fufu fancy lady" mama who kindly paid for me to get a massage.)

And every time I tried to shut down the conversation, she asked another question. Because of how vulnerable I am when someone massages me, I didn't feel comfortable telling her outright that I wasn't comfortable with the conversation. Especially because my mom purchased future massages for me there.

The masseur I had in the past didn't talk much besides remarking on areas that needed more work and asking questions about how comfortable I was with the level of pressure. I could focus on deep breathing to get through the discomfort because my muscles were so tight. This woman did not ask me one time about the level of pressure.

Please, if you are a masseuse do not do this! I am there to enjoy my massage just like anyone else. I don't want to hear about your whole family's medical history just because I am disabled. I do not want to detail my entire medical history, and tell you where I live, and if I live with my parents. It is weird!

♡ Taking Myself There ♡

The past few days had me wanting to gain overview over my life; specifically to look at where I am, where I desire to be, who I desire to become, all of it!

In short, for a moment I had lost track of what I wanted to do in life. I quit University 3.5 semesters in because I didn’t belive it could get me there the why I wanted & it was overall just the wrong time in my life. I lost friends, making me doubt everything even further. Covid hit, and life just sunk into more chaos. I left many people, including the person I was. With most of my family cut off, being homeless for months & staying places I wasn’t welcomed or felt entirely safe in — I’ve managed to turn my life around in such a short time. Physically, emotionally and mentally I am now ready again to fully commit to myself & the goals I’ve had since I could remember

I’ve managed to move into a place that feels like home.

I’ve managed to pass an exam I’ve been battling for 3 years.

I’ve made new friends, and met Incredible people

And most importantly, I’ve become the person I needed all those years ago. But she’s here now and now I feel ready to jump in with both feet.

My Goals have always fluctuated as I’ve never been a very ‘one goal’ orientated person. I’ve been a full time artist, worked in the receptionist world, retail & sales advisor. But all of those always felt like they lacked something or were more so a means to gain the financial stability that was needed for me to to what I truly wanted to do—

I’ve never been one that desired working, but when the work didn’t feel like work I was all on board! This goes for all things astrology, tarot readings, drawing & painting whatever I felt like creating. And most importantly, writing.

I have two main goals in this life

♡ Becoming A Publish Author

Ever since I could remember, I loved reading. I loved hearing stories and telling them! I’ve always been a very imaginative person, very creative, and I’m always told I’m great with words — and I believe it. I have tales I wish to share, tales I know will inspire more then I already have & tales to inspire myself to keep going. Nothing brings me mroe joy then when I am typing away, lost in my little worlds.

♡ Becoming Financially Secure

I do not need bilions but I know I’ll make more money then I’ll ever need. It’ll be enough money to never worry about unexpected expenses or those around me struggling. I’ll have more then enough to leave my future generations with financial security. I have known luxury, and I’ll know it again.

So now what? It’s simple really, I just need to do what I’ve always done — persist, and go after what I know is already mine. It’ll take determination, discipline, persistency, but also it’ll take for me to rest when rest needs to be had. Asking for help when help is needed.

Soon I’ll graduate and become a certified massage therapist — a job I already know is very fulfilling, and despite the physical and emotional taxation, it’s something I see myself doing while I write my stories & get closer to financial stability.

The idea of doing all of this brings me such internal peace and warmth.

The rest of the year will be a time of…

♡ Saving, living within my means and reminding myself that this is a sacrifice for a better tomorrow

♡ Making writing my all, just how it used to be. The stories are in my mind already, and many are created weekly, but focus and determination will get me there

♡ Knowing when to rest, because my sleep, sanity or overall health should not be compromised for something that can be resumed tomorrow.

♡ Continue to be my own peace, saying no more and focusing on this endeavor

I’ll be Enjoy the journey. It’ll take a while, and I know because I’ve inspired others to write. Friends, and my cousins have written and published their work (some are still not there but aren’t giving up) and seeing how long it took them, but their determination got them there, is inspirational. I planted a seed and now they all have trees and I’m so proud. Now it’s my turn to plant my seeds and watch them grow. I’m ready!

And I start today —

My head hasn’t been doing great today, I’m in and out of feeling pre seizurey. I ate ice cream for breakfast just because.. I don’t know that I’m proud of that one? But it’s hot and humid and I just wanted ice cream.

But look what I did! I jumped rope for 35 minutes before I had to leave for my appointment! Yay!

I’m feeling so good about getting a lot of movement in so early in the day, I might try to switch things up for awhile and workout earlier in the day rather then before dinner.

Yesterday was a stressful dentist appointment and today was a calming but extremely important (and still takes a lot for my brain)massage therapist appointment.

I feel absolutely exhausted and feel like I could sleep for two days, but I think the jump rope helped get me going and feeling more motivated and confident today and I like that.

If you hold your back in "good posture" all day it just gives you more back pain, just like if you clench your jaw. You are not SUPPOSED to be upright all the time, you are supposed to use the full range of motion of your muscles and not hold them in one position all day.

So slouch, crouch, sit on the floor, stim, just make sure you change it up and move. It's better for your body in the long run.

Listen to your body.

as a massage therapist clients say so many things to me, one thing stands out and continues to vex me. I think about It every single day.

As much as I love my job, I wish people would listen to me when I tell them to move more, stretch, change their footwear, get more massages or alternatives (massage machines, sticks, rollers etc) and k really just take care of themselves.

I came into the field to help people, and I can only do so much. The rest is up to everybody but it does make me sad when they in, tell me they have been in pain for months or even years for something that is preventable :/ like damn, you’re not suppose to be in pain 24/7, especially not at young ages like 18-35. I had a client who was just 17 and she has neck problems because of her phone (looking down for prolonged time), that’s too young to start having neck problems!

So yeah, please take care of yourselves. There are many free ways to do so that won’t take more then a few minutes of your time. And the reward is a less painfull body / better quality of life 🫶🏾

What is a Relaxing massage in London?

A relaxing massage in London is a therapeutic massage technique that aims to provide relaxation and stress relief to the recipient. It typically involves long, smooth strokes, gentle kneading, and circular movements applied to the soft tissues of the body. The massage therapist may use various techniques such as Swedish massage, hot stone massage, aromatherapy, and deep tissue massage to promote relaxation and release muscle tension. The massage may be performed on a massage table, with the recipient undressed or clothed, depending on their comfort level. A relaxing massage in London can help reduce stress, ease muscle tension, improve circulation, and promote overall well-being. It is an excellent way to unwind and relieve the physical and mental stresses of everyday life, making it a popular choice for those seeking to relax and rejuvenate in London.

Let me know…

[amanita-muscaria-lover]

Can I talk for a minute about how much I, as a massage therapist, hate the insert character x masseuse fics with everything in me? It's so gross. Massage therapists who have graduated from an accredited school and are licensed do not offer services that are inappropriate (and illegal). And if one does, you report that individual immediately because they give all LMT's a bad name.

Also, don't call any massage therapist a masseuse!
