10 Years in Hastings. 15 Years in Practice. A Whole Lot to Be Thankful For.

Before anything else—I’m thankful for my husband, Dusty. His steady support, patience, and handyman magic have been behind every step of this journey. From building out spaces to building me up when I needed it most, he’s been my quiet champion and my favorite teammate.

I’m also deeply thankful to God, who gave me this passion and talent—and continues to guide me in using it to bring healing, connection, and joy to others.

This month marks 10 years of practicing massage therapy in Hastings, NE—and 15 years since I first became licensed. It’s wild to look back and see how far this path has taken me, and how many people have walked it with me.

I’m deeply thankful for:

- My parents, who supported me from the very beginning and never stopped cheering me on. Daryl Kniep Angela Kniep Tami Willmes Perry Kurt Perry RobandRebecca Allotta

- My clients, who’ve shown grace and understanding when life as a mom intersects with work—whether it’s sports seasons, school schedules, or maternity leave for two of my three beautiful babies.

- Those who respect my time, knowing this isn’t just a job—it’s my livelihood. Every hour matters.

- The flexibility this career gives me to show up for my kids’ events and milestones.

- My safety in this field. I’ve never had a scary experience, and I don’t take that for granted. And I’ll say this clearly: jokes about inappropriate services are never funny. They’re disrespectful to the profession and to the people who do this work with integrity. They also open the door for others to think those kinds of requests are acceptable—and they’re not.

- Healthcare professionals who see massage as more than pampering—who recognize its healing potential and treat me as a peer.

- Jason Hester, who nudged me out of temp jobs and into building something real. You were right.

- David Shuck and Curtis Iliff , whose conversation led me to Melody Vader-Iliff at Vibes—and to Angie Lukasiewicz and Brenna LaBreche , who gave me the gentlest, kindest entry into this industry.

- Abby Bob Collins , who had the vision and drive to start a new salon—and invited me to be part of it. Her courage and leadership opened the door to a new chapter I’m so grateful for.

- Jamie, who came on board this year and brought a fresh energy to our space.

- Mecala Gerloff-Poppe and the network of therapists I’ve met along the way. There’s no competition here—just community. It takes confidence to refer someone elsewhere, and I’ve seen that generosity firsthand.

And most of all, I’m thankful for the relationships built in the quiet of the massage room. I’ve gotten to know your stories—your highs and lows, your families, your leaps of faith, your weddings, graduations, and losses. I love the laughter that bubbles up mid-session, when we have to pause because we’re both cracking up. That joy is healing too.

But I also love the silence. The moment when tension finally lets go. When a body that’s been carrying too much finally feels light again. When pain gives way to peace.

Thank you for trusting me with your care. For letting me be part of your journey. Here’s to the next chapter—whatever it holds.

Jeremiah 29:11 NLT
For I know the plans I have for you,” says the Lord. “They are plans for good and not for disaster, to give you a future and a hope."
