For 22 years I ran my own massage practice - I built it myself, I worked hard, I showed up, I respected appointments and treated my work with integrity; it was meaningful work and I’m grateful for the many incredible clients who became friends, who respected me, valued me, and are still supporting me now - I truly appreciate you
The other side of that was dark and difficult: I was also constantly sexualized and had to protect my boundaries when I was repeatedly asked for “happy endings,” “Nuru Massage” and other blatant propositions on calls, in texts, and at the end of sessions - I lost a lot of clients because I refused to be a prostitute; add to that my time was disrespected with no-shows and outcalls where I’d be given fake addresses; that meant money straight out of my pocket - and, yes, all of that and more really happened.
I respected people’s time and was professional but mine was often disrespected as if it wasn’t my job and affected my livelihood.
In the last week of my massage practice, I was pushed past my limit by multiple no-show appts, a fake address outcall, and the most egregious of all - a prospective client offered me $25,000 to attend a private party as sexual entertainment, under a “milking table” to give hand jobs and BJs for the night; I immediately said NO - my dignity and integrity are not for sale.
That week did something to me, after years of: holding my boundaries, handling it all, pushing through it, staying strong and professional - the physical, mental and emotional toll reached a breaking point and I had a full on panic attack.
I’ve only had two panic attacks in my life before that, both were because my son was in dangerous situations, being a reckless kid - panic attacks are not a normal thing for me; it was traumatizing but it forced me to face the truth - I can’t do this anymore, I realized I couldn’t keep sacrificing my body, my energy, my mental health and absorbing disrespect just so I could earn a living.
I’ve always been deeply spiritual and intuitive - while all of this other stuff with my massage business was happening, I felt something stronger calling me and I knew it was time to build something different: tarot readings, guided meditations, manifestation work, energy-based healing and transformational content that helps people grow and heal all while maintaining my dignity, well being and peace.
So, I made a bold decision to close my massage business for good, chose my peace and give to the world in a more positive way.
Now I’m building my next chapter of spiritual and energy-based healing, guidance, storytelling and content through YouTube, Instagram, and my online store - this path allows me to keep helping people without compromising my body, my boundaries or my peace of mind.
This new venture is close to my heart and allows me to share positivity and healing with others through creative, intuitive, and energetic guidance rather than physical strain - I truly do love helping people; this has been calling to me for a long time - I'm very excited to finally put it all in motion.
I am in the middle of this transition - building something new from the ground up takes time to grow and stabilize; it requires my consistent, focused time, energy and effort to establish - I’m building something long term and expansive that I’m very passionate about.
Please support me through this transition - anything you contribute helps me to stay fully committed to building this next chapter of my life, expanding my spiritual/energetic work and share my passion, light and energy with the world; I truly appreciate your support as I continue on my new path
To the good clients and friends who respected me all those years, thank you - you were the light in that chapter and you’re a big part of why I stayed as long as I did.
Thank you for being part of my journey forward,
Karla
