Yesterday I gave my first massage session since returning to Berkeley after an extended stay in Boston. After my the session ended and my client left, I felt an awesome wave of gratitude flood through me until I found myself sitting on my table, my arms folded across my chest hugging my heart, in front of my altar saying "thank you thank you thank you" over and over.
Going back to my old practice space and seeing my Boston clients was exactly what I needed to reignite my passion and excitement for this work. I missed doing massage so much. I missed wanting to do massage. I immediately felt confident and happy seeing my old clients, and the response was totally overwhelming. It felt nice to know that I was missed and that people were still happy to see me even after a few months of being gone. I missed everyone too and it was wonderful to see photos of babies born to my prenatal clients and newly pregnant clients and catch up on all the details. I even got to shovel some snow while I was back east. :)
Berkeley seemed to miss me too though. I found the most amazing space to plant my massage practice in the East Bay. It's right off of trendy and convenient Solano Ave in Albany, nestled in the garden of a nice mission style home, two large fragrant redwoods in the front yard, and I can walk there! In fact the walk is probably the same number of footsteps as the walk from my apt in Boston to my old practice. I start working in the space on January 15th, Sunday, Monday & Friday afternoons from 3-8pm.
It feels good to be back.
