Sometimes you just need some flowers to improve your mood. Lilac season is back and I enjoyed a stolen moment gathering these beauties. How do you care for yourself when things feel hard?

We are so excited to have Lena Funk join our team at Greenhaven Massage Therapy! She will be providing Taktil Massage, a technique developed in Sweden.

Lena is excited to introduce Taktil Massage to her fellow Kingstonians!
This original method, TaktiPro, was developed in Sweden and is commonly used in many settings within their healthcare system, rehabilitation as well as in holistic care and spa’s.
Taktil Massage is a gentle and relaxing massage that promotes a very deep level of relaxation.
It is especially designed to activate our body's parasympathetic nervous system and with that, significantly increased our levels of Oxytocin.
This in turn may lead to many benefits such as; reduced stress, pain relief, improved gastrointestinal function, increased immune system, improved sleep and overall well-being.
This technique always follows a specific pattern with slow continuous movements, light pressure and hold.

About Lena:

I was born and raised in Sweden and have been living in Canada since 2004. In the early stages of my career, I worked as a research laboratory technician and later on also earned my PSW diploma and enjoyed caring for the elderly over the years.
More recently, I returned to Sweden to complete training and receive my diploma in Taktil Massage. My background in science and research really sparked my fascination with Taktil Massage, especially its profound physiological and psychological effects
Life is full of challenges—whether it’s illness, stress, injury, or emotional struggles—and I find it amazing how our bodies still always naturally strive for balance. Sometimes, though, a little support is needed to achieve that harmony and Taktil Massage can do just that.
Helping and caring for others is my true passion. I aim to make a positive impact on people’s lives, no matter how small. My goal is to offer relief and care, helping improve the quality of life for those I work with.

This spooky skeleton is showing you why it's so important to set up an ergonomic work station. Don't let your neck look like this by having:

-screen at eye level and in front of you
-elbows 90 degrees
-feet resting in the floor (if you are short, you can add a foot stool to support your legs
-A sit stand desk can make a huge difference in how sore you feel at the end of the day, as well as adding breaks to get up and move around (hint; like drinking water! ;) )

Makeup free, filter free, this is 32. Let's normalize posts on this app.
I hate makeup, not because I dislike it, but because it takes away my precious snoozing time 🤣 I used to think I couldn't wear cute clothes because I didn't want to do makeup to match. Then I realized I could just dress up anyway, and had way more fun.
There's alot of pressure to be perfect these days, it's nice to remember that you are okay just as yourself. :)
Ps, sometimes I still wear makeup when I'm feeling particularly motivated 🤣

Let's talk about your chest, better known as the Pecs! Modern day living isn't friendly to our posture: phone scrolling, computer work, driving, and studying wreak havoc on our neck and back. But did you know the chest is an important piece of the puzzle? With prolonged poor posture, our pecs get tight, rolling the shoulders forward and hunching the back. In addition, our pecs are often much stronger because we use them more than the muscles of our upper back.
So what to do? Open the chest. Massage therapists work on stretches and use techniques to free up the chest and shoulders so you can stand taller and straighter. This can even help improve breathing by allowing the rib cage to move more freely. Now isn't that a breath of fresh air?

Therapeutic taping lifts tissues, increases movement awareness, and can support injuries. Tape treatments can be applied in many places and last for up to 4 days. We had a great time last night reviewing some taping applications together.
