To my amazing clients at Bee-Healed Massage & Stretch Therapy!
I wanted to share something personal with you because I believe the people who trust me with their care deserve honesty and vulnerability.
I am 26 years old, and recently diagnosed with Complex Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (CPTSD). While having an answer has brought some clarity, it's also come with a lot of grief. I've been learning that healing isn't just about understanding what happened, it's about rebuilding the way I care for myself, show up in the world, and allow myself to slow down and be present in the moment.
Over the past several months, many of you may have noticed that I've been quieter, slower to respond, or not as present as I normally am. The truth is, CPTSD has made even simple things feel incredibly difficult at times. It has affected my ability to consistently show up for myself, others & my career, not because I don't care, but because I've been struggling more than I've let on. If my absence, delays, or mistakes have impacted you in any way, I am truly so sorry.
I'm currently with an amazing therapist and psychiatrist full-time and continuing school part-time, and for the first time, I'm choosing to prioritize my own healing for myself. I know that this will ultimately fill my cup to help give back the way I want too. This means I'll be reducing my appointment hours to a more manageable amount for the foreseeable future so I can create the space I need to heal, grieve, and learn how to truly take care of myself.
As part of that decision, I will also be pausing new gift card sales for the time being. I am always open to exceptions, I want to make sure I can fully care for the clients who already have gift cards and continue serving my existing clientele before taking on additional commitments.
Massage therapy has always been so much more than a job to me. It has been my purpose, my soul and a true gift to my place. Being trusted with your care is something I never take for granted. I love this work and still want to build a beautiful future in massage therapy. This isn't goodbye at all, it's simply me choosing to build a healthier foundation so I can continue doing this work for years to come!
Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and for supporting my small business through every season. Your kindness has meant more than you'll ever know!
With love,
Natalie at Bee-Healed Massage & Stretch Therapy
