🌙 Extended Hours for Massage Therapy — Thursday Evenings

With the end of the year quickly approaching, many people still haven’t used their massage therapy benefits — and I don’t want anyone to miss out.

To help make sure everyone has a chance to use their remaining coverage, I’ll be extending my hours on Thursdays from 5–7 PM for a limited time.

If you’ve been meaning to book a session before your benefits reset, now’s the perfect opportunity to do it.

✅ Registered Massage Therapist (RMT)
✅ Insurance receipts available (+$15)
✅ Simple online booking at www.courtney-nelson.com

Take care of your body before the year ends — your future self will thank you.

🌿 Ashiatsu Is Growing — and So Am I

The response to Ashiatsu through my Fusion Massage sessions has been overwhelming, and I’m so grateful for the trust and enthusiasm you’ve all shown.

After almost a year of offering Ashiatsu as part of my Fusion work, I’ve built the strength, stamina, and skill to now offer 45-minute Ashiatsu-only sessions — designed for those who want the full barefoot experience.
These sessions are $100, with insurance receipts available for +$15.

I’ve also simplified the online booking process to make things smoother and faster — you can now book your session in just a few clicks.

Thank you for continuing to support and grow with me on this journey.
If you’ve been curious to experience Ashiatsu, now’s the perfect time to try it.

🌿 Move Freely Retreat Update

It’s been a powerful season of movement for Move Freely — the kind that happens when vision starts to take shape in the real world.

Over the past few months, we’ve gained genuine interest from both small and large investors who see the long-term potential in a land-backed wellness retreat that’s rooted in nature, community, and conscious living. While no investment funds have been accepted yet, the growing momentum and belief around this project have been deeply encouraging. 🌱

And now — the next big step.
This week, we’ll be meeting to explore what could be the future home of the Move Freely Nature & Wellness Retreat. Whether this property becomes the one or simply leads us closer to it, it feels like alignment in motion — progress guided by purpose.

What began as a single massage table in my car during the pandemic and a dream to help people move freely is now evolving into something much bigger:
a sanctuary for rest, reconnection, and holistic growth.

I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who’s shared, supported, or simply believed in the vision. Your energy is helping to make this real — one step, one conversation, one leap of faith at a time. 💚

Thank you so much, Ottawa/Gatineau! 💚

I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the ongoing support from my amazing clients and this community. Your trust, your word-of-mouth, and your commitment to self-care have kept my schedule full — and my heart even fuller.

✨ Due to popular demand, I’m opening up additional evening appointments over the next few weeks to make sure everyone has a chance to book in and use their insurance benefits before the end of the year.

If you’ve been meaning to schedule your massage or mobility session, now’s the perfect time — spots will go quickly!

📅 You can book online anytime at www.courtney-nelson.com
💆‍♀️ Move Freely. Feel Better. Stay Balanced.

Thank you again for being part of this incredible journey — I truly couldn’t do what I love without you all. 💚

🚨 Big News for Move Freely but YOUR help is needed!!🚨

I’m officially looking to expand — and the vision is bigger, bolder, and more grounded than ever.

I’m turning Move Freely into a land-based wellness retreat — a nature-immersive sanctuary where people can reconnect with their bodies, release stress, and experience real transformation through massage, mobility, and conscious movement.

And the best part?
👉 I’ve found the perfect property:
✅ 33 acres of land
✅ Zoned for tourism & recreation
✅ Located just 16 minutes from Ottawa
✅ Surrounded by trees, but right off a residential road — the ideal mix of visibility and seclusion

Now I’m looking for the right investor to partner with and make it official.

This is a real, revenue-backed plan — built on the foundation of my established massage practice and designed to grow into a sustainable, scalable business that gives back.

If you know someone who invests in land, wellness, or values-based projects — or if you just want to help Move Freely grow — please share this post!

Every share brings us closer. Thank you for being part of this journey. 🙏💚

We’re building a nature-based retreat space designed for real people to unplug, reset, and reconnect—with their bodies, with the land, and with themselves.

Update - The studio is now reopened but still needs a deep clean to remove the last of the dust and there a few temporary changes.

1. The windows has been boarded more permanently (and aesthetically) it will remain boarded fora number of weeks while a new windows is manufactured.

2. The credit card reader was stolen so until further notice I can only accept cash and etransfer

06/17/2025

I’m sad to announce the temporary closure of the studio. After returning home from our most recent trip to New Brunswick to visit family we were met with the devastating condition of our home which had been broken into, vandalized and robbed. Some of the items we were able to recover but others have yet to be found.

The studio which was once an almost sacred space that calmed the soul is now a completely unrecognized mess. Plywood covers a broken window, boarded by police. There is profanity and racist words/symbols deaw on walls and furniture.

Over the next few days we will be putting things back together. There is a gofundme started to help cover some of the property damage like the broken window among other things. I will be reppening soon

https://gofund.me/94f63ab4 contributions of any kind is greatly appreciated.

Ever stretch your hips and suddenly feel emotional — like, out of nowhere?
That’s not random.

Your pelvis is home to a lot more than muscles and joints.
It holds unspoken frustration, sexual tension, grief, and survival energy.

And for men especially — no one teaches you how to feel that stuff, let alone move it.

That’s why I teach conscious hip work. Not reps. Not punishment.
Just honest movement that meets your body where it’s at.

It’s powerful. It’s uncomfortable.
It’s where transformation begins.

🌀 Move the hips. Move the emotions.
The rest will follow.

👇 Ever felt something shift emotionally while stretching?

05/13/2025

Ever feel like your back’s trying to protect you from moving?
It probably is.

Tight muscles aren’t always “weak” or “out of shape.”
Often, they’re locked down by the nervous system to keep you safe — based on what you’ve taught it to expect.

If your daily signals say “I sit, I stay still, I hold tension,” guess what your body learns to do?

✨ Mobility isn’t just about stretching — it’s about re-educating your system to feel safe in movement again.

Start small: one spinal twist, one deep breath, one movement that says “It’s okay to let go now.”

🌀 The body listens when we change the signal.

👇 What’s your body been trying to tell you lately?

05/11/2025

Your body remembers what your mind tries to forget.
Not just the big events — but the slow accumulation of tension, stress, and survival-mode habits.

It remembers the times you braced.
The times you held back.
The times you didn’t feel safe to soften.

And it adapts.

Tight hips, shallow breath, chronic tension — it’s not just “getting older.”
It’s the body doing what it thinks it needs to do to protect you.

But here’s the truth most men never hear:

Your body isn’t the enemy. It’s the messenger.
And if you listen closely, it will show you exactly where to begin.

🌀 Mobility isn’t about discipline.
It’s about decoding the story your body has been trying to tell you.

👇
What’s one part of your body that’s been calling for your attention lately?
