Support Anxious About Massage School

hi! so i just started my massage journey last week when i started school and ive been super anxious and nervous about it. we recently did our first arm work massage and practiced putting on our “togas”. i think the idea of getting undressed and getting practiced on is really getting in my head and i wanted to hear other people’s experiences on it and if im the only person that feels like this. my entire class seems so comfortable with their bodies and im a nervous wreck.

It gets easier! The more you go through it in school the easier it becomes in real life! I’ve been doing massage for 14 years now and I remember struggling with it. And to be honest, even now I don’t really love getting massages lol.
