I was so inspired by this interview. Thank you!
Inspiration for the journey
I so hope for more of these pod casts. I needed that little piece of inspiration today as I lean into a full day of sessions. I love my work as a massage therapist and have been blessed by this journey for 6 years. Have been in the fence about coming for a continuing education class and I do believe this sealed the deal. Bless you in all the work you are doing.
