On 4 August, FHT Member and Complementary Therapist Marie Szkretka appeared on Romesh Ranganathan’s Pitch Your Passion feature, where she had 45 seconds to convince Romesh and his several million listeners of the wonders of massage therapy.
Read her winning pitch in the form of a poem, below…
When my body feels like it’s weighed down by cement.
When I’m feeling drained,
And every sinew is strained.
What makes me light is a massage therapy treatment.
It frees my mind, body and soul.
I can slumber,
Whilst the therapist works on my lumber (region).
Total relaxation is the goal.
Those pesky knots are smoothed away.
When pain and tension nags at me,
With a handful of strokes, I am set free.
Once again, ready to seize another day.
Nothing is rushed, the therapist takes it slow.
My body does so much for me.
I have to look after it, that I can see.
Massage therapy allows me, to just let go.
When speaking on the experience, Marie said: “Despite being terrified whilst on air, it was truly uplifting to be able to convey my love of massage. It’s relatively rare to reach millions of people in one go: it’s an opportunity I’m so pleased I took.”
