The Haven Within: For the healers, the humans, and the in-between

Last week, we kept things light and real with a day in the life of a solo massage therapist—what it looks like behind the scenes, the flow of sessions, and the heart that goes into the work.This week, we’re shifting into something heavier—but incredibly important.Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussion of sexual assault, inappropriate client behavior, and experiences that may be upsetting or triggering to some listeners. Please take care of yourself and listen at your own pace.In this episode, I’m opening up about the darker side of the massage industry—the parts that don’t get talked about enough. We’re diving into the uncomfortable realities that some therapists face, the harmful expectations certain clients bring into the room, and why boundaries, safety, and respect are non-negotiable in this work.This is an honest, unfiltered conversation meant to bring awareness, support fellow therapists, and help create a deeper understanding of what it truly means to hold space in a profession that is so often misunderstood.As always, I’m so glad you’re here. Take what resonates, and take care of yourself as you listen.
