I’m making some changes…
I’m making some changes. I recently let go of my massage practice for the final goodbye. I’ve been a therapist for the last 10 years of my life and was on the fence about my profession for the last 5 years of it. Wow, what a journey it has been. Deep down I always knew that this wasn’t my forever field. Holistic medicine will always be a priority in my life and I’ll continue to pursue other modalities of it, but I know it’s time for me to integrate this wisdom and return back in a whole new expression. You see, there are sides of me that have felt watered down by being a therapist. I’ve always had a caretaker role in my life. Growing up, I gravitated toward taking care of pets, friends, and loved ones. I helped my mom with baby sitting and often pick up baby sitting roles of my own as I aged. It became natural instincts to take on the responsibilities of others wellbeing. That is why this profession integrated so easily into my life, I’m so glad it did. I learned VALUABLE proof about how holistic medicine was the first form of medicine, and how it actually works for the human body. Holistic medicine, or also known as “alternative medicine” has been saturated down by man-made pharmaceuticals and hardly ever credited for it’s properties and value. The more I study homeopathic medicine and the ways we can heal our own bodies, the more I turn away from man-made medication and the more of an advocate I become for the sovereignty of our own well beings. Don’t get me wrong, doctors and surgeons are very important, but so is the knowledge that we have the tools already. Just because they make a pill for everything, doesn’t mean everything needs a pill. But anyway, I digress. I am making life changes and instead of spending my time in dark rooms trying to improve the lives of one client at a time, I recognize that I have many other forms of expression that I’d like to share with the world. Massage Therapy was an amazing career, one I’d never shy someone away from if they have the interest, but it’s no longer the career for me. You can still find me teaching yoga, and facilitating informative workshops, but I am not taking personal clients for now.
Has there ever been a side of yourself you’ve desired to express, but there’s something in your life that blocks that true expression? Is it something you’re able to let go of? What would your life be like if you went after the career you actually wanted, or took that traveling adventure you’ve always dreamed of? Do you actually need to let something go to fulfill it or is this something you can make space for? Hmm? I honestly didn’t need to let go of my massage practice to fulfill the dreams I’m trying to fulfill, I just knew that I no longer wanted to do it anymore. However, to make space for what I’m actually trying to do I needed to spend less time on other people and more time focusing on myself. I also needed to let go of some couch time, some TV time, some poor sleeping habits and some sloppy eating habits to really make space for what I’m calling in. I also needed to let go of the belief that I needed to do X,Y, and Z before I could start A, B, and C. Truthfully, if there’s something you’re heart is longing for then right now is as good as a time than later. You are already good enough, smart enough, prepared enough to start right now. No change needed, and growth evolves along the way. Growth is inevitable so you don’t need to spend your time worrying about when it’s going to happen, it’s just going to. Set your direction and focus on the little steps to get there, you’ll see. It all aligns. Trust the process. You’ve got this. Stay tuned to see what I’ll be bringing to this website next! Thank you for reading.
Love,
Kala
