Today we’d like to introduce you to ME Ramcke.
ME, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
My passion and commitment to massage therapy blossomed from my initial introduction to yoga sixteen years ago. Yoga so positively enhanced my life in both body and spirit that I was inspired to professionally share the benefits that it provides. Fulfilled for over a decade as a yoga instructor, I decided it was time to dedicate myself to a full-time career enriching the lives of others through enhanced physical function, relaxation, emotional restoration, and pain alleviation.
With a leap of faith and a commitment to succeed, I said “goodbye” to the corporate world, sold my belongings, and relocated from Dallas to Fort Lauderdale to attend the Florida College of Natural Health for massage therapy. This intimidating but determined decision has resulted in over 800 hours of massage therapy, my national certification, and the ability to confidently and effectively provide trusted, holistic healing through massage.
I have found myself specifically drawn to the well-being of women in a comfortable, safe, and relaxing environment. I began making my personal massage therapy available in 2012 with the opening of Body Balance Massage for Women. My massage background and services include prenatal, postpartum, deep tissue, Swedish, as well as mental & physical healing available via one-on-one yoga sessions. I chose to receive specialized, additional training focused on pregnancy and prenatal massage which I was drawn to because of the unique and beautiful energy that pregnancy emits and that calls for nurturing.
My natural progression from yoga student to yoga teacher to massage therapist is one that I have fully embraced as part of my life’s purpose. It is both a passion and an honor to provide and pass on the benefits of holistic healing and wellness.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
As anyone who runs their own business is aware it takes a while to find that “smooth road.” While I am very skilled, confident and blessed in what I do, the marketing required for a successful business has been a difficult but necessary hurdle & learning experience. Fortunately, most of our business comes from repeats and referrals, the best form of marketing there is!
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Body Balance Massage for Women – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Body Balance Massage for Women welcomes any and all women seeking relief from pain and/or stress or who wish to enjoy the positive change that we can help accomplish in regards to overall physical, emotional & mental well-being. Our clients benefit from our extensive education, experience, and skill that is practiced with respect & understanding regarding the fluctuating needs of each client. Occasionally we recommend and, if desired, include yoga stretches as part of a session if deemed appropriate and helpful to specific physical issues.
“Proud” is not a word that feels appropriate in regards to what we offer. If rephrased as “What is most rewarding as a company?” it would be the noticeable “all in one” mental, physical, and emotional relaxation apparent when a client walks away after a session combined with their conveyed appreciation for the safe, caring, and respectful environment & demeanor we provide that contributes to their overall experience and satisfaction.
What makes Body Balance Massage for Women unique, and what keeps our clients returning, is our knowledge, dedication, and ability to relieve and comfort the needs unique to the female form & infrastructure. We additionally include complimentary consultation “off the clock” at each client’s first session to make sure we are providing exactly what they need and so they are only charged for the physical process of customized relief & relaxation. For postpartum services, we even welcome newborns/infants and provide a baby swing located within the same, soothing environment where we provide our services.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
Currently, my focus is to continue serving the Dallas-Fort Worth community. My long-term plans for the future include expanding my business to other cities so I can share the benefits of treatment with as many women as possible.
