Hello.
I’m Emma. I’m Hand Print Massage.
Today I decided it was a day of action. I decided it was time to actually get organised and start blogging my musings about my world, not just massage.
What you will not read on here is who my clients are or their medical conditions. I might discuss what I’ve seen come through my clinic regularly but nothing specific. (This is to protect my clients personal and health information and to protect me as well.)
Anyway. Here’s some info on me.
I started Hand Print Massage in it’s first incantation in 2004 when I was still studying. I was giving very basic relaxation massages to friends and family. This was the case until I graduated with a diploma of remedial massage at the end of 2006. I had just landed a job with a footy team and was about to set up in business when I discovered I was pregnant. Oops. That wasn’t planned. So I had to turn down the job with the footballers and put my business on hold for a bit. Ah well. Then one day whilst in the shower (all the best ideas seem to come there) I realised there weren’t many massage therapists in my area who specialised in pregnancy, post natal or infant massage. Infact whilst I was pregnant, I drove an hour for massages. Later that same day, I decided to take a walk through the local shopping centre. Every third woman who walked past me was pregnant or had just had a baby. So Hand Print Massage for Mums was born.
A year later I’m still in business (YAY!!!) and I’ve met some wonderful women and babies. Looking forward to meeting more.
Other info. I have a little girl who is 2. I have two dogs. I’m a PND survivor. I’m passionate about learning cultural influences around pregnancy and motherhood. I love chocolate and I don’t drink.
I’ll write more again soon.
EM.
