Unfortunately, I've come down with a flu bug. I apologize in advance for all the rescheduling/canceling that has to happen, please understand! ❤️😔
✨️Drink lots of water and do your stretches!✨️

With the season changing and kiddos going back to school, we are all painfully aware that flu season is upon us.
With that being said, I'm kindly asking that if you are sick, even with a "little" cold, please call and reschedule your appointment. I'm currently out of commission with the tail end of a flu I caught last week. (Worst weekend EVER!)😅
I'm trying to be a bit more cautious as I'm now booking into November. I never WANT to reschedule appointments to a later date but it happens. So again, please, if you are sick, stay home ❤️

Stay hydrated, keep warm and do your stretches!✨️

❄️I cannot believe it's already November!!❄️

To all my lovely clients looking to get their massages in before Christmas, I definitely recommend booking in advance if you're able too! With insurance refresh coming soon, my schedule is filling up pretty quick!!
Hope you're all staying warm!

☮️ Hi! I'm a happy little plant that lives @ Meridian & all my needs are being met! I have water, air & sunlight. Look how well I am growing! ☺️

☮️ Human needs are a bit more complicated....

According to NASA humans have four basic needs to survive.

☮️ Food
☮️ Water
☮️ Air
☮️ Shelter

Those needs seem very basic, and the quality of the food, water, air & shelter have a huge impact on human lives.

And what about our psychological needs? We can't forget about those!

☮️ Universal Psychological Needs

☮️Autonomy
Feeling like you are in control and have choice.
Making informed decisions (based on your values and beliefs).
Taking responsibility for your decisions and actions.
Feeling free and willing.

☮️ Competence
Having an optimal level of challenge (i.e., to give you the opportunity to feel a sense of competence - not too easy, not too difficult).
Feeling able to have a go at challenges.
Feeling confident in your ability to complete tasks.
Feeling goals are achievable.

☮️Relatedness
Feeling connected to others around you (e.g., family, friends, colleagues, exercise instructors).
Good social support network.
Feeling like other people care about you.

☮️ Ok, so we got our basic needs now.... But it still doesn't feel complete.

☮️Love. We definitely need that.

Make sure to show yourself some love! Get some sun, food & have a little FUN! Fun is definitely a human need 👍.

If you feel that your needs are not being met please reach out for help. If it is not an emergency, we have amazing counselors that will help you find your path.

Do you suffer from Headaches or Migraines? Did you know that Massage Therapy has shown to be effective in treating migraine and tension headaches?

I have suffered from Migraine headaches for the past 10 years and I understand how debilitating they can be in your life. I have made it my primary focus in my career to learn how I can further help those who suffer.

Massage Therapy & Cupping Therapy can work hand in hand by relieving and preventing headaches from occurring by:

✨️ Promoting circulation through increased blood flow in areas that may be ischemic (lacking blood flow)

✨️Decreasing stubborn trigger points that often refer pain to other areas of the neck and head

✨️Loosening tight muscles and bands of tissue to further help support better neck alignment and posture

✨️Releasing tension in the Sub-occipital muscles (at the base of your skull) that are often related to headaches felt in the back of the head and into the eye

✨️Lowering levels of the stress hormone Cortisol, improving your quality of sleep and decreasing stress (which can result in fewer headaches)

If you are interested in booking a massage you can book directly at brittanyrobertsrmt.clinicsense.com

If you have any questions regarding treatment for migraine and tension headaches, please feel free to send me a direct message. I am here to support and help you work through this difficult condition ❤️✨️
