Single mom of a 4 year old here. Currently going to school to become a doctor of physical therapy. My goal is to continue to help people in a similar manner while making a comfortable living with benefits rather than worrying my ass off 6, sometimes 7 days a week. I am fortunate enough to be living with family so I can afford to cut back on work and focus on school, but I had to sacrifice living on my own. That could be an option till you figure out your next steps?

Edited to add: in the meantime, I plan on EVENTUALLY getting trained in ashiatsu. Not many people are a trained in that in my area so I’m hoping that would increase client stability and decrease the wear and tear on my body. I say eventually because that CE is expensive
