First Month In

When I arrived in Vancouver, for the first time ever it didn't feel like home. Perhaps because i knew i wasn't staying and that i had no "home" anymore. Got to see my loverly brother right away and then started making the rounds. So missed you peeps. I knew i had made the right decision, even if it was influenced a bit by my bank account, to go back to Bella Coola, take some time out and then set up shop.



It's been 1 month since my first official massage! Taken place in the room set up in mom's place here in beautiful Bella Coola.



Spent the first part of the month, just relaxing, sleeping, playing with the dogs, deciding on wall colours and making dinners for mom. I was an enjoyable break and great to not be rushed into setting up work. We did lots of painting in the house and the room, did flyers,brochures and additional business cards from the gift of Aprils ( Moo for your own photo business cards), and finished the website www.lotuseffectmassage.com




I also was contacted to do massages for the heli skiing groups at the Coast Mountain Lodge, it is on a sign up basis but its a great gig for starting out.



Though I have the time to be busier and could use more moola I am pretty impressed with my first month. I've already learned so much from each client that makes me feel its hard to grow tired of this job, there is always something new or someone new to keep you on your toes.

I was asked to work my first "spa" party. Set up the table in one of their kids rooms, and massaged from 630-1030. had a blast. never bored, but a little tired once I actually sat down at the end. Had that endorphin rush to still enjoy it afterwards.

Sometimes I second guess that I should be so happy in doing this work, or the pay I get , or just being happy with a few massages. But quickly getting out of that train of thought.

That's the update for now. Still growing and learning. Next plan to get back to Vancouver and set up shop there. Keep ya posted.
