After wrapping up May on a high note, I had the chance to assist in a medical massage class in Portland, Oregon. Unfortunately, due to low enrollment, the class was canceled. But is that going to stop me from visiting one of the most beautiful places on Earth? Absolutely not!

In May 3rd-5th 2026, I had the privilege of attending an incredible retreat focused on learning and self-care. For three days, my classmates and I immersed ourselves through the beauty of Wimberley, Texas, practicing sound bathing therapy, a lot of meditating, and Equine Gestalt Coaching.  While also gaining valuable insights into how to support our clients, whether they are just beginning their cancer treatment or transitioning back into their everyday lives after finishing treatment. Before this trip I told myself to really be open minded and don't feel the need to do anything that doesn't serve you well. Live life and be in the present. This experience has changed my life in the best way. While we were learning, I am so grateful for the opportunity to continue to learn, grow, and meet other hungry-learning therapist, I always say every class I take is another discovery for a opportunity to become not only the best massage therapist I can be, but a better person as well. I can't wait to see what where life takes me with my new knowledge!!!
