I got my first One Star review on Google recently. 😬 let’s talk about it ⬇️
I love my job. Like, so much. I look forward to seeing clients, answering their questions, and doing my best to support them and meet them exactly where they are at each time they come in for a session with me. It truly brings me joy, peace, and it helps me along my own healing journey to hold such sacred space for others, especially as our external world becomes increasingly chaotic and uncertain.
I’ve been working for myself for 1.5 years now (!) and the past six months of that has been full-time, 100% independently working as a Licensed Massage Therapist with my own practice.
I’ve had to block a handful of people reaching out to me for “services”. Is blocking someone the most professional thing to do? Maybe not. But one thing about me and my work is I don’t play. I will do anything I can to protect myself, my work, and my clients. Sometimes that means turning people away. Sometimes it’s having to block someone that is making me uncomfortable.
When you’re reaching out to female therapists at odd hours, this particular person wanted to reach out at 1AM to ask about my “availability”… mind you, this is a man I don’t know, and I was already getting red flags from the vagueness and timeframe of the inquiry.
I shouldn’t have replied at all. Instead, I did, and I gave this person a referral to a colleague with their permission.
Please. For the love of Mother Nature and her beautiful green Earth.
Do not speak to therapists like this. Period.
There is nothing “professional” about reaching out to a female therapist in the middle of the night asking their “availability”.
Mutual respect, safety and transparency is a core value that I lead with in my practice. My practice is inclusive and is a safe space for anyone that needs it! The only way I can safely do this work is with firm boundaries and integrity. So please, if you need something from me, don’t message me at 1AM. You’re gonna creep me out and I’m gonna block you and then nobody’s happy. 😆
