I DID IT Y'ALL! I truly don't even remember what I thought Massage Therapy was when I first walked into the lab at TCC. This program gave me more...taught me more than I ever imagined. Massage Therapy is ancient, powerful, & vast. I have been completely humbled & utterly inspired.
This was the first time I ever felt like I could be myself really openly & unapologetically - that's a testiment to the caliber of the folks I got to share this experience with. I was very fortunate to be alongside kind, nurturing, intelligent, & passionate people with unique perspectives...and open minds. I was also blessed to have instructors that gave their whole hearts to us, even when they had their own businesses, jobs, & families to tend to.
I poured my heart & soul into being the best student I could be. This program was so much more intensive than I expected & I'm really proud of all that I accomplished. None of it came easy & I sacrificed a lot, but I excelled. And I could not have done any of that without the enduring support of my sweet Bradley, who made me eggs & coffee every morning...then dinner every night just so I could work & focus on my studies...and the laundry ๐
Bradley helped me through every crash out & fit of self doubt I had. Not to mention how he held me tenderly through every crazy hurdle that came throughout this season. My cup runs over; my heart is yours.
I also couldn't have done this without my girl Bryce, who has been my cheerleader from day one. She has encouraged & inspired me to never let up. To keep dreaming & making it happen. She continues to put her faith in me & because of that, I've been able to work & provide for myself while I persue my other passions. I'm forever grateful for our friendship & journey together ๐
I am filled with so much emotion...and there is so much I could say about this experience but I'm low key still processing it all. One of the most deeply challenging & rewarding experiences of my life. What perfect timing for me to start discovering my purpose...when I thought I never would. I understand that I wasn't ready for all this...until now โจ
