The Owner of Satori Day Spa, Savannah, understands what it feels like to simply survive. In 2021, she set out to find her true self, that spark, her purpose. With no easy road ahead unraveling mounds of conditioning and trauma, she utilized talk therapy, nature, meditation and more. She refused to accept that how she was living was all that life had to offer.
It wasn't until 2023 while immersing herself in a warm bath within her pitch-black bathroom, that she realized she was afraid of touch. An innate human need. The fear was so strong that she couldn't help but feel it was actually what she needed most. Touch.
After much contemplation, she decided to enroll in Massage Therapy School at Lansing Community College. If nothing more than to learn how to receive and give safe touch. Within her first month, she knew Massage Therapy was IT. This was what she was meant to do; help others. Something she said in the 2016 Lansing Community College newspaper before starting a ten-year career in what would have been Law Enforcement, "I just want to help others.". Her purpose was right in front of her the whole time, but her conditioning made her believe she needed to carry a protective shield.
Now nearly four years since she started her journey, Savannah found her true self, that spark, her purpose. Working full time as a Massage Therapist at a Spa, lugging around her newest book obsession with a State Park map as the bookmark, looking to give encouragement, acceptance, and open the door for others to have their own "one moment in the bathtub" experience.
If she can, you can. Beat all odds with her, pause with her, be you with her. We carry no shame, we carry no judgment; after all, we are just human trying to figure out this thing called life, right?
