May the New Year bring you all good things.

I have an announcement - January will be my last month offering massage. ! :(
An injury needs more time off, so that will be my focus.
I do not yet know what my next act will be, perhaps I return in a cpl months if its repairable, or reinvent in another space.
I really do love my job and have been quite sad letting clients know. It's an honour to be entrusted with your care, truly. Nanton and area deserves good care, thank you for rushing in to lift me up when I relocated my practice here.
I am sad that I cannot continue to help you in this way, right now. Quite a relationship forms doing this work. I will miss each of you.

Maybe 2026 is all about us taking better care of Ourselves. Then you wont miss me so much!

I am so grateful for your support.

Stay tuned- I'll get my secretary to send out an email with updates. She hates typing tho and isn't prompt about these things. There is still room in January if you simply Have to Get In!

Blessed Be

Massage in your mouth??
Yep - its a viable treatment - especially for TMJ syndrome. I have a client with a resistant case at the moment so I'm gonna head for the Sphenopalantine ganglion next visit.

Reposted from The Alberta Massage Therapists fb page.
"Stop Chasing the Pterygoids!!
Going after the muscle is not the most effective or therapeutically useful target in the deep infratemporal fossa.
If you consider targeting the sphenopalatine ganglion instead you will achieve more.
By going after richly innervated structures rather than muscle we can…
—Reduce head and facial pain, including sinus, migraine, and trigeminal-type headaches.
—Ease sinus congestion by improving drainage and nasal airflow.
—Balance autonomic tone by calming sympathetic overactivity and promoting parasympathetic regulation.
—Improve tear and saliva flow by normalizing glandular secretions in eyes and mouth.
—Relieve jaw and midface tension by reducing strain through the maxillary and pterygoid regions.
—Enhance cranial circulation — promoting better oxygenation and tissue recovery.
—It can aid in reducing tinnitus or ear fullness — through improved Eustachian tube and palatal function.
—It also promotes deep relaxation via vagal and facial nerve parasympathetic connections.
—It will also support recovery from post-concussion or dental procedures — by calming neurogenic inflammation in facial pathways.
A shift from muscle to neurology allows a more direct link to affect greater change.
In fact this is a far better explanation of the changes that have happened when therapists have treated this area. 😁"

Are migraines linked to insulin spikes?
Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome?

The Glucose Goddess says studies show they are.
I've been doing a deep dive on female specific research on menopause & insulin resistance and how to regain control. You can find her work on her own platforms, long form interview below. I have many Migraine sufferers as clients, and had not heard that there was a link between insulin and migraines.
The good news is, its simple to change.
I find her information very accessible.
I'm going to post a few of the Dr.s and scientists who's work I've found the most helpful. Here's one.

Her four main hacks are:
1) savoury breakfast - no sugars, nothing sweet.
2) eat fibre first - veggie starter
3) drink 1 tBlsp vinegar daily
4) move after eating
