So happy you are here. This has been a long time coming, and I couldn't be more excited that you are here with me to celebrate.
For the past several years I have been trying to figure out what it was that was getting in my way of creating something like this. For me, I felt there was a piece missing--like there was a void or something incomplete.
To give you some background, I had been teaching yoga for years, was a health coach, traveled abroad to teach and learn, became a matchmaker and many other titles along the way. Although many parts of these roles were satisfying to say I was fully sated on what I was offering just didn't feel right.
Have you ever felt this?
Like there is a piece missing or blocked in some way?
What I knew was that I felt deeply connected with the body and supporting others to feel alive in theirs. I knew I felt most alive when teaching a class, offering a yoga tough session, and after receiving bodywork.
In the first year of the pandemic, I felt the call to shift. My call usually turns into depression coupled with crippling anxiety, if I ignore it long enough, When this arrives I know I have to make changes, and for me, pursuing myself and the field of bodywork, made the MOST sense and FELT so right.
When I decided, I was in 'sky country'--Bozeman, Montana. I went out there to visit my sister and to get some space from the claustrophobia of the city and maybe my boyfriend (I love him dearly). The message to go to massage school was almost instantaneous.
I could hardly sleep because I was filled with this knowing that THIS is what I was destined to do and become. It was like relief washed over me and the depression started to lift.
I enrolled in school barely a month later and began my studies soon after.
I walked away with a 4.0 gpa, a few awards, and the confidence that I was taking charge of my life.
Now, I am here, 7 months post graduation starting my own thing and praying each day that I've got what it takes.
As far as I can tell, I do.
Look out for more here about bodywork, yoga, self-care and the joys of feeling alive. .
Xx,
Annie
