    2020-01-14T17:09:35-08:00December 14th, 2019|

    For most therapists, earning a massage certificate or license means they are finally ready to provide excellent care to others. However, the truth is that therapists must take good care of themselves if they wish to heal others effectively. You can maximize the sustainability of your massage career though self-awareness and self-care.

    Too often, 鈥渟elf-care鈥� is equated with yet more work. It鈥檚 not unusual to feel frustrated when self-care is just another item on your to-do list. But even a moment or two of sincere self-awareness and compassion can turn a day around. As you become more practiced in self-care, you will 摆鈥

    Even if you鈥檝e never been to Hawaii, you鈥檝e probably heard the word 鈥淎loha,鈥� meaning both hello and goodbye.

    Therapists are healers at heart; anyone who chooses to become a massage therapist is inspired to help others. Yet through lack of awareness around body size, therapists may unwittingly make clients feel uncomfortable. And while massage schools in Oregon and elsewhere train budding therapists in body mechanics and client care, massage therapy classes do not always account for bigger bodies. Today we鈥檙e taking a look at how to help clients feel at ease, no matter their body size.
