🌿 The truth is...
Fourteen years ago, I enrolled on a Clinical Reflexology course.
I had absolutely no idea I was beginning a completely different life...
(That’s a story for another day!)
What I didn’t expect was everything else that would come with it.
A new career.
A business.
The Green Room.
And some wonderful friendships along the way.
Fourteen years ago, I started learning Reflexology.
Thirteen years ago, Green Room Therapies was born.
Which means I now have another teenager in my life...
And, like my actual teenagers, it’s grown, changed, occasionally kept me awake at night and cost me rather more than I expected.
In those early years, I met one particular friend who became an important part of my journey.
Someone whose wisdom I valued enormously and whose perspective I trusted.
We shared ideas, worries, successes and plenty of “What do you think?” conversations.
There were regular treatment swaps too...
Although, if I’m honest, there was probably more chatting than treating.
I sadly lost her earlier this year, and I still find myself wishing I could pick up the phone and ask her,
“What do you think?”
Today feels like a celebration...
But also a reminder that we rarely get where we’re going entirely on our own.
Some people walk alongside us for years.
Others for a chapter.
But some leave a mark on our story that stays forever.
She was part of my beginning.
And she’ll always be part of my story.
And, rather fittingly, I’m celebrating thirteen years of GRT on the final day of a holiday rather than working! ☀️
I don’t think the woman who enrolled on that course fourteen years ago could possibly have imagined where it would lead.
I’m incredibly grateful that she did.
For every client.
Every friendship.
Every lesson.
Every wobble.
And every person — past and present — who has been part of the journey.
Here’s to thirteen years of GRT...
And whatever comes next.
Thank you for being part of it.
💚 Esther
