Welcome to Minding Body’s first blog post.
My About section already offers a little bit of insight about why I started this blog, but I don’t think that a formal overview entirely portrays who I am.
Who am I and what makes me a reliable guide?
Well, to fully cover the most significant aspects of my life I’d need to make myself a large cup of strongly caffeinated tea and have a few hundred extra hours on my hands. I don’t have a few hundred hours at my immediate disposal, but I do have a blog, an indefinite future, and a few spare hours here and there. I’m excited that, in time, I’ll have the chance to let my personality and some credibility shine through these virtual pages.
For now, let me make it clear that I don’t think of myself as a massage therapy guru of any sort. I’m still very new to the field, but massage therapy as it is currently known is also somewhat new. I’m proud to be a licensed massage therapist in a time when more and more research is being dedicated to understanding therapeutic massage therapy as a medicine in its own right. (Did you know that massage therapy is the most commonly used form of complementary and alternative medicine in U.S. hospitals?)
I’m excited and honored that you’ve chosen to join me as I also educate myself about the endless healing potential of human touch.
