About Massagic Therapy the business
Evolve and be inclusive
Massagic Therapy has a strong desire to be an inclusive business.
What this means is there is the intention to can be accessible and inclusive: accessible to those who may not have considered complimentary therapies before due to physical, financial or social issues. The business model hopes to incorporate as many aspects as possible that can be inclusive of those who may not have previously felt they could pursue to to societal ignorance or muddy ethics. Which is why Massagic Therapies wants to be as transparent as possible in these areas. [//Page coming soon//]
Never stop learning. Gotta get more qualifications! Next, Jo wants to learn fascia Bowen, which is a fantastic and more inclusive technique for those who may not be able to have classical massage due to various health or physical reasons. Having pain chronic problems and receiving this form of therapy, Jo knows it would be an invaluable tool to learn.
Jo identifies an non-binary
What this means – Jo prefers to be called “Jo” or to use the pronouns “They/Them”.
While it’s a common slip to say “She” because of the physical way they present and also because of the way in which we’ve been conditioned, you won’t be scolded as they too also slip-up, especially with common slang and sayings!
Pronouns are a personal choice and should be respected.
Jo feels they are not a gender and are something outside of the feminine masculine binary – read ‘Beyond The Gender Binary‘ ‘by Alok V Menon, it is a short book and a great read and Menon’s skills at communicating this topic is brilliant!
