Meraki Massage & Reiki

Wellness culture loves to talk about boundaries, but practising them as a practitioner is a whole different ballgame. When I was first starting out in my business, I used to sometimes agree to things I didn’t feel entirely comfortable with. Looking back, I can see how much I needed to learn what feels right in my gut. As a massage and reiki therapist, I have had my boundaries tested more times than I care to admit. Swipe through to see four real things people have actually said to me that made me pause, breathe, and re-evaluate how I show up. These moments used to drain me, but they taught me a vital lesson. If something doesn’t feel equal, you have to call it out and believe your instinct. I stopped chasing collaborators who view what I do as a casual “add-on” service, which in turn opened up space for the individuals who truly respect the depth of this craft. Fellow practitioners, which slide resonated with you the most? 🧡
