I won a Shiatsu course !



I won a free Shiatsu course !

September 25th / 2022

I am very excited to say that I won a free Shiatsu course! I entered a draw at the Canadian Massage Conference and was notified I won. 

Shiatsu originates from Japan. It uses a lot of eastern medical theory and has different techniques to apply pressure to areas of the body. 

I have been thinking about Shiatsu ever since I first learned about it years ago. I had always been humming and hawing about signing up for a class. No real reason for not taking it other than I was always doing something else. But I am glad that I will finally be taking the leap and diving into it.

The two instructors are also RMT’s and they have modified the course to be performed on tables instead of on a mat on the floor like traditional Shiatsu. This is really good because I will be able to incorporate these techniques into my every day regular massage.

Classes start in October and end in November. Which means I will be fully finished by December. So exciting to gain new knowledge. I am always excited to be learning new things.

                         Guest on Podcast 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone November 30th / 2022 I have been listening to 2 Massage Therapists and a Microphone for years now.  Let's do a little introduction to the podcast: Amanda and Mark are the hosts of the show ( they are also married ). They are two RMT's as well as kinesiologists that interview soft tissue workers from all over, but mostly North America. They are based here in Toronto, Canada. But with the beautiful internet, they have people on the show from the US and sometimes other parts of the world. They have had the podcast now for about 5 years. They have over 400 podcasts and they are continue to grow every day. They also own ConEd Institute but that is a completely separate business. If you want to know more, you really should just listen to their podcast. I prefer Spotify to listen to them with. I met Mark first in a cupping class t...

Going for massage often?

  Going for massages often? October 27th / 2022 Why has it been so long since I went for massage?! I really love getting a massage. I feel it's just me get swept away by working and doing activities and just not making the time to get one. It wasn't until my husband offered to massage my shoulders the other day. He was massaging them for maybe a couple minutes and I wanted to cry. Because it hurt? No. Because it felt so good. He isn't an RMT and yet even his massage felt like it was sent from the gods. Obviously I had to book myself a treatment ASAP. Yesterday I had my first massage in 2 months and it was heaven. I can't lie, there was definitely some tender and sore areas that required a much lighter touch haha. My shoulders really needed some work and some love. But it felt so so good. When I got off the table I felt wobbly. A good wobbly. A " I just got all of my tissue worked on in the best way possible " wobbly. My body just wanted to continue laying on t...

RMT Goals for myself

    My goals in my RMT career December 05th / 2022 I have a lot of things I want to do for my massage career and I wanted to write them all down. So what's a better place than my blog, to share with all of you. 1) Teach something massage related 2) Organise an RMT socialising event 3) Sponsor a kids sports / arts team, yearly 4)  Full time only at my home practice 5) Take part in some kind of RMT event once a year 1) Teach something massage related -   Explained: I would like to teach something to do with massage. I love teaching. When I was more dedicated to art I was teaching adults and children art. It was a ton of fun and it taught myself things as well. I would love to be able to share in the education and knowledge of future RMT's. I know a lot of people jumped from graduating massage school right into teaching. I personally didn't feel like I had enough real world experience though to be teaching yet. I was and still am fresh and new. A greenhorn. I...
