If it was not for Elizabeth Miller of Reden Yoga in Columbus, Ohio, I would have never even known what Thai Yoga massage was all about. I have had many teachers along the way but my teachers through Thai Yoga massage have given me lessons and endless encouragement along the way. If it wasn’t for my amazing clients, I would not be in business! Their repeat business and dedication to their health and wellness is the reason I do what I do and I am grateful that they speak highly of me within their communities and send more clients my way. “It takes a village” couldn’t be a more true statement. I have taken several Thai Yoga Massage training and even had the opportunity to travel to Thailand for extensive training in 2018!Īny shoutouts? Who else deserves credit in this story – who has played a meaningful role? Thai Yoga Massage is relaxing with the benefits of deep tissue massage along the way. During Thai sessions, the body is compressed, stretched, pulled, and rocked with the use of the therapist’s hands and feet. The client remains fully dressed in comfortable, flexible clothing. Thai Yoga Massage is a more interactive form of massage that is done on a floor mat. One modality I love is Thai Yoga Massage and I offer this type of massage at my studio. Please tell us about Collective Bliss – what should we know?įor as long as I can remember, I have been involved in some kind of sports team or group that is based around fitness, so my business has gravitated toward those involved in an active lifestyle or trying to focus more on overall health and wellness. I had to reestablish myself in the community and build new relationships. I had called Columbus home for most of my life so uprooting and setting my sites on Atlanta and Decatur was a challenge. Massage is so beneficial to your overall well-being – it reduces stress, allows your blood to circulate better, eases muscle tension, and so much more.Īnother struggle was moving to a new city. People often see massage a luxury so it takes relationship building and constant education to shift from something that happens on occasion to a regular part of a wellness routine. In Columbus and Decatur, I have had my own spot with Salon Lofts – but being self-employed in the bodywork business takes time to develop connections with clients and constantly working to spread the word. Heck no! All good things take time, energy, and dedication to get into that sweet spot. Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way? I always cater each massage to the needs of my client, and while doing so, educate them on the benefits of regular massage and understand the role of the mind/body connection. I offer traditional Swedish massage, deep tissue, prenatal, Thai Yoga, and sports massage. As they say, the rest is history! I have been a licensed massage therapist for ten years – first in Columbus, Ohio and now, in Decatur, GA.
The relaxation I felt and the experience of massage was so healing and beneficial for me, I set out to learn more about becoming a massage therapist when I returned home. Who knew a trip to Costa Rica in my late teens would set me on a path to health and wellness! It was in Costa Rica that I experienced my first massage. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
