We believe that massage therapists, yoginis, reiki practitioners, pilates and tai chi instructors, acupuncturists, and all those involved in bodywork are in a very unique position in life- we are seen as caring, compassionate professionals who strive for wellness. We work to help people find balance in their lives, whether it be physically, mentally, emotionally or spiritually. We provide valuable services, classes and workshops, and most of us try to be reasonable and understanding when it comes to rates, and this unfavorable economic climate. Many times we may offer donation-based classes, free workshops for the community, and discounted rates for those who need what we offer, but may not be able to afford it.
It is with this mindset that the MBCG was formed. Our belief is that it doesn't take much effort, time or money to make a difference in the world- if everyone does just a little something, collectively we can make change.The MBCG is intentionally simple- become a part of an incredible network of like-minded professionals and collect donations of non-perishable food and pet food and supplies in whatever way you choose. The spirit of giving is contagious and the example you set by catching it is stellar. Giving is not only admirable but INSPIRING!
We find that when you give, you not only are doing a very charitable thing indeed, but also experience a deep wave of gratitude. By giving what we have to those who have not, we can't help but feel a great thankfulness for the people in our lives and the moments we are lucky enough to experience.
The point of all of this is for every massage and bodywork professional to raise the bar for their business, and to make giving back simply a part of their business model. No matter how, where, or what is done- it will be valuable.
