👣 Your feet aren’t just for getting you from point A to B — they’re one of your body’s most honest messengers.

Swelling, tingling, cracking, or coldness can be subtle signs that your body is asking for support — from hydration to hormones to circulation.

As an RMT, I see foot symptoms show up all the time… and with the right touch, we can often release what the body’s been holding.

✨ Whether it’s through lymphatic drainage, reflexology, or nourishing oils — holistic foot care goes way deeper than just a pedicure.

🌿 Scroll through to discover what your feet might be trying to tell you — and how massage can help bring balance back, one sole at a time.

NEW PRODUCT ALERT ✨💖
Introducing Self Glow Body Nutrition – Because Recovery Starts from Within

As a massage therapist and movement practitioner, I know that how we fuel and restore our bodies matters just as much as how we move and treat them.

That’s why I’m proud to introduce my personally curated wellness support:
Self Glow Body EAAs and Grass-Fed Whey Isolate – now available through Touch & Release.

These aren’t just products I carry — they’re essentials I use daily to support my energy, recovery, and strength through long treatment days, workouts, and everything in between.

Why It Matters (for You + Your Bodywork Journey):

Self Glow EAAs

Essential amino acids your body can’t produce on its own —
perfect for:
• Supporting muscle repair post-massage or training
• Reducing soreness, especially for those starting strength work or movement therapy
• Keeping energy stable and hydration optimized between sessions
A great intra-workout or mid-day pick-me-up that works with your wellness goals.

Grass-Fed Whey Isolate

Clean, complete protein your muscles (and tissues) crave:
• Ideal post-treatment nourishment for clients integrating massage into recovery
• Easy on digestion (no bloat, no fillers)
• High-protein, low-carb for hormone and metabolism support
I blend mine in my morning smoothie or sip it post-workout — it’s been a game-changer in supporting my stamina, body composition, and tissue repair.

Whether you’re a client looking to support your body between treatments or a wellness seeker wanting to elevate your daily nutrition — this is the glow support I stand behind.

Now available through me directly at

Let’s fuel your healing and movement, from the inside out.

🌟 Embrace Your Journey 🌟

Let’s talk about the importance of prioritizing your happiness. Instagram doesn’t always talk about how happiness is a choice. As a massage therapist, yoga instructor and proud owner of Touch and Release, I’ve experienced the rollercoaster of emotions that come with pursuing your dreams. I’ve had people tell me that you can’t always love what you do a job isn’t just about enjoying what you do it’s about paying the bills. Without going into too much detail, the journey hasn’t always been easy—lots of hard work, moving, painting, recalibrating, injuries, tears, fear of it not working out, being overwhelmed with excitement, you name it. But amidst the challenges, there’s been an overwhelming sense of joy, excitement, and heartfelt gratitude. ✨

Going out on my own was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 🙌 I’m incredibly fortunate to have the support of amazing clients and friends who’ve been with me every step of the way. Your support hasn’t gone unnoticed, and I’m immensely grateful for each and every one of you. 💖 Whether it’s through massage sessions or by purchasing local products from my space, your support fuels my passion and drives me forward. As I celebrate turning 36 in literally 6 days, I’m filled with excitement for the year ahead. 🎉 I’ve come to realize that life is full of endless possibilities, and I’m eager to embark on new journeys of healing for both body and mind. 🌿 Thank you for being a part of this beautiful journey with me. Here’s to more moments of growth, healing, and happiness! 🌈

Dear skincare enthusiasts,

Jennifer Joan Skincare believes in the power of nature to enhance your beauty routine. She carefully curates ingredients that are ethically sourced and chosen for their potent properties, ensuring that your skin receives optimal care. Each individual's skin is unique, and their products are formulated to address a variety of concerns, catering to all skin types. I have always been worried about using massage gel on the face since I too have experienced breakups and skin issues in the past so using HT face oils have been a game changer both on my clients and on my face. Many of you may have experienced this during your TMJ treatment, face massage and/ or dreamy head massage I always look forward to pampering your skin, giving you that coveted natural glow.
💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻💆🏻‍♂️
One of my favourite products is Luxury Face Oil, a face oil elixir that will transform your skincare routine. Infused with a blend of nourishing oils, it deeply hydrates and restores your skin's natural moisture barrier. Packed with antioxidants and essential fatty acids, this lightweight oil helps to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking plump and youthful. YES PLEASE! I always offer one of the three amazing Face Mists, as a refreshing boost of hydration after being fave down in the cradle. Enriched with botanical extracts and antioxidants, it helps to soothe and balance your skin, promoting a healthy complexion. Whether used as a toner, a makeup setting spray, or a mid-day pick-me-up, you soon will learn why I love them so much!
