The Science & Soul of Touch: A Massage Therapist’s Perspective with Megan MacDonald

This week I sat down with Megan, my massage therapist and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to the human body, energy, and healing. We went way beyond the typical “back rub” conversation and got into the real stuff—how massage therapy is actual therapeutic work, what our muscles are holding onto (physically and emotionally), and why stress shows up in the body whether we realize it or not.We talked about everything from posture and chronic pain to that weird but real moment when a massage triggers a memory you didn’t even know was buried. Megan also explained Reiki in a way that made it make sense—how energy, spirituality, and healing all overlap, even if we don’t always have the language to describe it. Plus, she just finished a course in lymphatic drainage (which I had so many questions about), and it blew my mind how something so gentle can do so much.If you've ever been curious about what your body might be trying to tell you—or you’ve brushed off massage therapy as just a feel-good luxury—this convo might change your mind. Or at the very least, it’ll get you thinking a little differently about tension, touch, and the deeper work of healing.Leave a Like and Subscribe if you enjoyed!
