Why am I doing this?

Why am I doing massage?

It primarily started as something to stop me going mad during a period of sick leave. My own massage therapist, who has been amazing with respect to my migraines and chronic pain, invited me to his course, so I thought it better than lazing around the house.

It's a side hustle, alongside a busy academic job, but I want to ensure that my day off, Fridays, is not taken up with more desk work, but a slow thoughtful movement to keep me fit, and help other people. I charge to help pay for the training costs and materials.
