Farting? Let’s talk about it 💨😂

First of all it’s nothing to be ashamed of. We’re all human, and sometimes it just can’t be helped… especially when you’re deeply relaxed or even asleep during a massage 😴

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not encouraging anyone to start purposely pushing them out 😂 but if one naturally wants to escape… oh well 🤷🏻‍♀️

I would never bring it up or embarrass you over it either. If you decide to laugh about it, then absolutely I’ll laugh with you 😂

So yes it’s natural, it happens, and you really don’t need to stress about it. If anything, I take it as a compliment that your body is relaxed enough to fully let go during your massage 🫶🏼

Also, side note: the farting motion at the end is me using my hand to act it out not my bum, if any of you were wondering 😂

Here’s a few confessions for you, remember no judgement and just love here😂

People think massage therapy is just working on muscles.

But sometimes clients bring much more than physical tension to the table. They bring stress, grief, anxiety, heartbreak, burnout, and years of carrying the weight of life on their shoulders.

For an hour, you’re not just working on a body. You’re holding space for a person.

The biggest part of this job isn’t always the physical work. It’s caring. It’s being fully present, session after session. It’s listening. It’s noticing the things that aren’t being said. It’s helping someone finally let go and relax when they haven’t felt safe enough to do so for months.

Some days I finish work feeling energised and grateful for what I do. Other days I get home and need complete silence. Not because the treatments were physically demanding, but because of the emotions, stories, and stress I’ve carried alongside people throughout the day.

Whether you call it energy transfer, empathy, or simply the emotional weight of caring for others, it’s something every therapist learns to navigate.

But that’s also what makes this work so beautiful.

To be trusted enough that someone can put their worries down for a while. To know they don’t have to hold everything together for that hour. To create a space where they can switch off, feel safe, and simply be looked after.

If carrying a little of that weight means they leave feeling lighter, then it’s a privilege I’ll never take for granted🩷

The massage lasts an hour. The impact can last much longer.
