One of my clients had been dealing with some pretty serious pain for more than 9 years. She had transformed her life to become stronger and healthier in an effort to reduce the pain, and still no relief. While I worked on her she became very emotional and explained to me that this was the first time she was able to get relief and that moment on the table meant more to her than I would ever know.
I will admit, there are days where it's "just another client" and I do watch the clock for my free time, but today's experience reminded me of why I massage. Knowing that I can help people in such a profound way has helped me to be a stronger person. I've become more confident and proud with what I do. No, it's not the most glamorous job and yes, some days I just want a break, but most days....I smile because I'm happy to be helping others.
As exhausting and hectic as my day was, it was worth showing up for.
