So here it goes........I'VE MY TEACHING QUALIFICATION!

10 years of massage and now I’m taking a step that honestly scares the life out of me. ❤️

My ever growing qualifications in massage, sports massage, injuries, rehab, lymphatics, post operative treatments etc I’m now starting to teach what I do.

If you had told me years ago that I would one day stand in front of a room and teach other people, I genuinely would have laughed 😅

Because of past trauma, I have a stammer. It’s nowhere near as bad as it used to be but it’s still something I’m conscious of.

Years ago, when I was practising in Antrim, a known massage therapist told some of her clients:

"Kylie will never get anywhere in massage because of her stammer."

I’m not going to name the therapist. That isn't who I am and I know how hard it is to build a business. So I'll keep that to myself. She doesn't know that I know😉

But I’ll be honest..…those words stayed with me and still to this day, it plays in my head:

Will new clients laugh at me?
Will they doubt my knowledge?
Will they complain because I don't speak perfectly?

But there was also another side to me that thought:
"I'll prove you wrong (insert therapist name here 😅) just watch."

And in a strange way, those words became fuel.
(I know you'll read this, so thank you!)

I also got turned down from a massage job from a place in Belfast because of it too. She asked me the name of a muscle, I couldn't answer - I knew it but I just could not say it. It was just because it was an interview.

So I started my own business, helped thousands of clients, grew a team and built something that I'm incredibly proud of. I just wish my late parents would still be here to see everything I have achieved.

Following my back fracture a couple of years ago....I’ve had to accept that I can’t physically carry out the same volume of treatments that I used to and I cannot afford no shows/last minute cancellations that their space could have been filled 10times over with me.

I will absolutely CONTINUE TREATING clients because I love what I do, but teaching will allow me to take some of the physical pressure off my body by not doing all of the same thing.

Maybe teaching isn't about being the person who speaks perfectly (I keep trying to tell myself 😅) Maybe it's about being the person who has the knowledge, mistakes, successes and hands on experience to pass on to someone else & the next generation to come.

🍾🍾🍾
Here's to the next chapter and proving that sometimes the things people think will hold you back become the very things that make you stronger.

Nothing avaliable with Kylie & Sophie

BEFORE & AFTER INJURY TREATMENT 🏃‍♂️

Runner presenting with pain on the right hip.

During the assessment, I noticed a rotation through the left leg.

For me, effective treatment isn’t simply about treating the area where someone feels pain. It’s about assessing how the body is moving, understanding the mechanics and working towards the underlying issue rather than simply managing the symptoms.

Every client is different and that’s exactly why assessment matters. 👌
