Meet Heather Whitworth, LMT

Hi, I’m Heather Whitworth, and I want to share my story with you—the journey that led me to create Dreaming Lotus Massage right here in Platte City, Missouri.

​

My path began in a world that might seem worlds apart from massage therapy: as a hairstylist. I loved the creativity and the connections I built with my clients, but I soon realized that the chaotic salon environment wasn’t where my heart truly belonged. I craved something deeper—an avenue where I could provide peace and relaxation instead of the hustle and bustle of a busy salon.

​

That longing pushed me to pursue massage therapy. The moment I stepped into massage school, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging. It was in that nurturing environment that I discovered my true calling. There’s something profoundly fulfilling about helping others feel better, both physically and emotionally. For me, massage therapy became a spiritual journey, allowing me to connect deeply with my clients and nurture their well-being.

 

After completing my training, I gained invaluable experience working for various companies. Each role honed my skills and deepened my understanding of the body’s needs. Yet, I felt a persistent urge to create something of my own—a space where I could truly make a difference in people’s lives. So, I took a leap of faith and launched my own massage practice in the heart of Platte City.

​

Starting a small business is no small feat, especially as a single mom rebuilding my life after a divorce. The road was filled with challenges, but my passion for massage and my commitment to my clients fueled my determination. I poured my heart and soul into making Dreaming Lotus Massage a sanctuary for healing and relaxation.

 

Today, I’m thrilled to see my practice flourish. The glowing reviews from my clients warm my heart and reaffirm that I’m on the right path. Knowing that I’m making a positive impact on their lives is the most rewarding part of my journey.

​

As I look ahead to 2025, I’m filled with optimism and excitement. I can’t wait to continue sharing the transformative power of massage and bodywork with my clients, helping them improve their quality of life. This journey has been nothing short of transformative for me, and I’m eager to see where it takes me next.

 

Thank you for being a part of my story. I invite you to join me at Dreaming Lotus Massage, where together we can embark on a journey toward wellness and rejuvenation.
