Phase 1 đź–¤
After years of an unfulfilling career in Healthcare made up of unrealistic deadlines and expectations, back breaking stress, regulation after regulation, and the debilitating COVID, I finally chose me. I pivoted and I walked away. After all, a balance in mental and physical health are necessary for survival and a happy life. It’s not the best feeling to wake up one day and realize you’ve wasted most of your adult life being miserable.
Phase 2 đź–¤
Tragedy to the worse degree struck me to my knees when my 16 year old son died by suicide. He chose to leave and it changed me in what I believe is forever. In the journey of grief I had to find a way to continue to live through the pain. It’s a process and it’s work I always have to complete, for myself. I created Burt and Company. Burt is the son I lost and Company is everyone he left behind. I started to share my story and be an advocate for suicide awareness. And while this journey isn’t complete, I branched one more time into finding some happiness. Massage chose me. I was meant to touch people with my hands, providing the same comfort to others that has helped me throughout so many months and years of my life.
Phase 3 đź–¤
Burt and Company Massage was born. After a year of hands-on training, pure love for the modality and a lot of in the present work, I passed the licensing exam to become a Licensed Massage Therapist. Exhilarating, scary, sadness and yearning for my son, happiness for what I achieved and the realization that I arrived. I’ve arrived. Thank you thank you thank you to the universe and to the blond angel who guides me.
Phase 4 đź–¤
As I finish out my last school semester and wait patiently for my Massage Therapy License to arrive, Burt and Company Massage is unfolding step by step, day by day, and is morphing into a small little piece of the experience. A life experience. Let me introduce you to my table.
Love and Lightđź’ˇ;
