Thankful Thursday
Hope Corkran
Hello from the inside…
I hope you are staying healthy during this time of distancing.
This has definitely been a learning process.
One thing that has emerged for me in this time of introspection is realizing how much I truly love being a massage therapist. I only had one professional massage before I signed up for massage school ten years ago and within the first week, I knew I was in the right place.
Massage has opened countless doors for me over the years. I’ve been able to teach at two different amazing massage schools and worked on elite athletes and Hollywood stars. I’ve worked at stunning Arizona resorts and on many different types of retreats.
What I love, more than anything, is working with you.
As you know, I’m not much of a talker during massage. I like to give you the space to go inward, to process or to empty your mind.
However, I always love catching up and hearing your stories. Stories of joy and heartbreak, new job opportunities and retirement. I’ve had the privilege of working with some of you through high school and seeing you on your college breaks. I’ve had the opportunity to work with you while you trained for major races and went through the police academy and military training. We’ve talked about books and podcasts and Broadway shows. There have been marriages and divorces, family illness and death and SO MANY BABIES! I absolutely love working on all the sweet mamas to be.
Whether you came in to see me once a week or once a year, I have loved seeing your face walk through the door. And I look forward to the day I can open the doors and see you walk in, again.
Until then, stay safe, wash your hands and don’t forget your chest and psoas stretches!
I’ll see you soon.
