Get your Worksheet here: Reliable Self-Care for Massage Therapists
This is a take on self-care as a massage practitioner that you may not have heard before. With the right kind of reliable self-care, you can keep your entire business strong.
As massage therapists, we are actively working to help others thrive. And it is very difficult and unpleasant to put so much energy into that work when we are not also helping ourselves thrive.
Self-care is usually one of the first things to get neglected when running a business. And, I can say from first-hand experience, over and over again, that letting yourself get run down will stall your business.
Please don’t let this happen to you.
We MUST take good care of ourselves in this process of building and running our business.
I hope this expanded way of thinking about self-care (way beyond “filling the tank”) is useful to you. And, as always, I look forward to hearing your thoughts on this!

Thank you for reminding me that there are different levels of self-care. I work out but it is not the same level as when I sit quietly or go for a walk for fun. I need to do high quality self-care because I am worth it!
Oh my! I just saw this comment . . . very belated. 🙂 It’s so great that you know how to do that deeper care for yourself. Go girl!
