Your body, your trail?

After 20+ years at the massage table, I’m lucky to spend most of my days with people I’ve gotten to know well—some for months, some for years, and a few for over a decade. This Monday was a highlight: I got to reconnect with a longtime client and welcome someone brand new. Both new and returning clients keep my work fresh and exciting.

I often compare massage to going on a hike. This comes from a favorite book from my study days—A Trail Guide to the Body—which I still use today. Every session, whether with a new face or a familiar one, is an adventure. Working with someone new is exploring uncharted terrain, never quite sure what’s around the next bend. Even with regulars, no two sessions are the same. Trails can change overnight—a new tree, a rock, a washed-out path. Massage is like that: every visit brings something new, and staying curious makes the journey rewarding for both of us.

So, if you’re an old friend, I’d love to see you on the table again. And if you’re thinking about booking your first session with BRLMT, I can’t wait to meet you and start the adventure!
