Interviewee:
Mandy Coutts (She/Her)
In your words… Tell us about your organization, business, initiative.
In a nutshell, I provide kind intentional human touch through therapeutic massage and Reiki.
Tell us a bit about you and why you do what you do? Share your passions for your business, initiative, organization.
I have been on the massage table as a client for physical and emotional pain management, stress and anxiety relief, and general well being needs. There is nothing that makes me feel more present in my body and more at peace in my mind than massage and Reiki and I strive to create that for my clients as well.
What role do you think your business plays in supporting a more creative community? OR your community in general. (Bonus! Why do you think a more creative community is important?)
I absolutely view my work as creative. I believe that when people feel good in their bodies and minds, they become more of themselves and more in tune with the creative side of themselves. When I help people feel good, they in turn can do good for others and the chain keeps growing. Paying it forward and taking care of each other. A more creative community is vital to keep pushing, questioning, and exploring what is possible for the good of earth and everything and everyone here.
What was the last book you read OR What was the last video you watched that made an impact on you?
Not a book or a video but a podcast. It’s called Terrible, Thanks for Asking. This podcast has helped me feel connected. I love it because it’s all about being honest about how you’re feeling when life is difficult.
What’s the one thing people would be surprised to learn about you or your business?
All things paranormal are of great interest to me. I have a feeling that in a prior life, I died at sea. I feel called to be with people as they are dying. I will always have a black feline companion.
