October 1, 2001, ten years ago and just a couple weeks after the terrorist strikes of 9 -11, Dr. Peter Atwell DC, allowed me to open my massage therapy practice in his Chiropractic office setting. I thought it was probably the worst time in the world to be opening a new business, BUT, …… with the support and dedicated prayers of many, the Town of Holly Springs has been incredibly welcoming & gracious to Bodywork Connections and Massage Therapy.
We took the leap of faith and have been blessed by each and every person that has come across our tables. Holly Springs dedication to their health & well-being has caused us to add wonderfully talented therapists to our team to provide for the growth of our Town, the referrals and the increased demand of massage therapy. Many thanks to Mayor Sears and his council whom have ‘proclaimed’ ’National Massage Therapy Awareness Week‘ more times than any other mayor in the State of North Carolina. (NMTAW happens to coincide with our delightful Holly Fest Event; the last week in October and yes!!! We will be requesting his proclamation again this year. ) Our profession is honored to have such mayoral & Town support. THANK YOU!!!
