Hello Friends! Sooner or later we will refer to each other as Best Friends. Welcome to “Reflect with Fit”, Fit2Stretch own personal blog, where you can find a wide range of valuable information that is relatable, educational and easy to consume. Growing up, I always surrounded myself with smart people in my circle of friends. But I knew that I wasn’t the smartest friend. I just knew that I was the hardest working one. This learned behavior as a young girl manifested into something great in my adulthood.
My name is Margaret Owusu, and I am the founder of Fit 2 Stretch Massage & Stretch Therapy, and creator of, The Owusu Stretch technique You can read my official bio here. I started this company in ____2015____without a blueprint, just hard work on my side and passion in my heart. While my former track coach and athletic trainer played a major instrument in getting me started in massage therapy, but what really propelled me to start my own business was nothing more than heartbreak. Yup, that’s right, my former crush, crushed me (figuratively speaking, of course, you can read more about that here). That moment drove me to level-up and turn just a few clients into over 2,000, with an array of testimonies on how their lives have changed while experiencing our services based around The Owusu Stretch Technique. The “crush” that I experienced was also one of the hardest, most clarifying, life-altering events I could have ever been blessed with. I took a personal situation that could’ve dimmed my spirit and created a successful business. The reward from that cannot be measured.
“Reflect with Fit” was started from the sheer desire to give more. I wanted to use this platform to be a voice for massage therapists and I want to give a voice to All my clients who want to share their positive experience and how Fit2Stretch services have impacted their life for the better.
