"I had my second session with Blush in December of 2021. Every time I read another client’s rave reviews about their session, I think to myself, “I want (and need) to do this!” but it’s hard to put into words everything that I got out of that session and rediscovered within myself. So, bare with me, long post ahead.
"December 2021. A year and a half plus since my ex-husband had moved out. A year plus since the divorce was finalized. I told myself that first year, I’d spend focusing on myself: finding myself again, falling in love with myself again, being happy with the amazing woman who slowly lost herself in 4 years of a relationship and bad marriage.
"Reclaiming something you didn’t realize you’d lost is hard. It started with acceptance, therapy, and forgiving myself. I’m your typical Type A nurse, perfectionist, everything must be perfect woman, and divorce was the biggest failure I’d encountered at this point in my life. Ironically, now my divorce is one of my biggest successes. My husband was abusive; mentally, physically, emotionally. And I knew it, but he fit the T of an abuser: making me think it was my fault, I was the cause for his behavior and actions, and only if I’d be better, I wouldn’t be treated this way, I deserved this, etc. Him cheating on me on top of it was the straw that finally broke me or enlightened me, whichever way you care to look at it. It was the final tipping point of disrespect that gave me the teeniest bit of strength back to fight for myself.
Needless to say, there was a lot of healing that needed to happen. A lot of self-reflection, self-work, and me time ensued. Falling in love with yourself is beautiful but it’s work if you want to do it right. It took looking at parts of myself that I’ve hidden from myself and others for 30+ years and questioning myself and giving myself honest answers. I’m a believer that everything in life happens for a reason, and I do know that I had to go through this part of my life to be where I am now, and boy, I’m rocking it! But enough of slightly baring my soul…
"… fast forward to my session with Blush: Talk about feeling like one badass, empowered, gorgeous woman. If I could figure out how to bottle up the feeling you have as you walk out of their doors after finishing your session, I’d spritz it on myself every day. And every woman I know. EVERY woman deserves to feel the way that the women at Blush make you feel. Whatever your reason for thinking about doing a session with them is, don’t second guess it. Just book it. You’ll never regret it. My session with Blush was the culmination of so many things. But it was most definitely the cherry on top of everything I’d been working for and towards: myself.
"I can’t wait to go back… I feel like that courtyard is calling my name…
