Where It All Began… More Than 10 Years Ago
Sometimes an old photo pops up and makes you realise just how far you've come.
My journey with the lymphatic system actually began more than 10 years ago, and it started with my own health.
At the time, I was working a full-time admin job when I became unwell and began experiencing problems with my own lymphatic system. I chose to explore a more natural approach to supporting my body, but I quickly learnt there was no simple quick fix.
It meant making a massive lifestyle change.
Looking after my lymphatic system became part of my everyday routine. There were daily things I needed to do, changes I needed to make and a whole new understanding of my body that I needed to develop.
And that experience sparked something much bigger 📚 The Training Never Stopped
While still working full-time, I began studying the lymphatic system more deeply and retraining and expanding everything I thought I knew about lymphatic massage and wellness.
Over the years, I have continued to invest in specialised education and techniques, learning from trainers and methods from Australia, the USA and the UK.
And even after all these years, I still continue to study and learn. The lymphatic system is an incredible part of the body, and there is always more knowledge to bring back into my treatment room.
Then, 7 Years Ago, I Took The Leap…
I started treating clients mobile, packing up my equipment and travelling to wherever I was needed, while also travelling back to Brisbane for treatments.
I volunteered my time at women's community workshops, sharing what I had learnt about lymphatic health.
This photo was taken at one of my very first public talks, standing in front of more than 50 women talking about caring for the lymphatic system and demonstrating Normatec Compression Therapy.
I remember how big that moment felt!
Little did I know where it would lead.
I eventually found my permanent treatment room, and 5 years ago I moved into Blush Skin Solutions.
One treatment room became two rooms…
And now, incredibly, I'm at the point where Balance With Blends & Massage needs a THIRD room. 🥰
When I look at this old photo, I don't just see my first public talk.
I see the beginning of taking everything I'd experienced personally, everything I'd studied and everything I'd learnt and turning it into the business and treatments I offer today.
More than 10 years of my own journey.
7 years since starting mobile.
5 years at Blush Skin Solutions.
From one treatment room, to two… I'm incredibly grateful to every client who has trusted me along the way.
And I'm certainly not finished learning yet.
Sometimes the hardest chapters of our own lives lead us somewhere we never expected.
