Today was a day of learning for myself on how to help with scar tissue and the affects that it may have on the body. I am very great full for my model who is the recipient of a double lung transplant at a very young age of 23 due to her cystic fibrosis. We were able to help open up around her chest allowing her rib cage to open more for the big deep breathes. today was full of emotion as I had watched this beautiful souls journey long before their transplant, during their waiting phase and now finally after the transplant. Being able to work on this persons scars was absolutely amazing and giving them relief on tightness they had

Good morning.

Today is the day, no more masks. Just wanting to let you wonderful people know that masks are no longer required to wear when you get a massage. It is up to you personally if you would like to wear one or not. I am still going to wear mine for a little bit longer or when the client is face up. My personal preference for myself but I will not ask you to wear one.
Can’t wait to see all your faces

So a little serious post. We as humans have body self esteem issues (myself included) HOWEVER as a massage therapist when you come and get a massage we do NOT care about what you look like. We are not here to judge you on your body ( shape
, size, hair, no hair, scars, cellulite, stretch marks or pimples) you name it we don’t judge. Our main goal is to make you comfortable and treat the issue you may have. If that means you keep your clothes on while we treat then we as therapist can modify. If you do feel self conscious about a certain area we will respect it and again modify to make you comfortable. I know this situation is easier said then done to feel “comfortable” when you aren’t comfortable showing your body but please remember when you come and see us to treat an issue or to even relax we aren’t looking at your body to judge we are here to help with what’s going on.

Let’s talk about stress and how massage can help. Stress is a big factor in most everyone’s life, how massage can help with stress is it will help ease muscle tension caused from stress. I hear a lot of “I carry my stress in my shoulders”, with saying that one big action we do when we are stressed is shrug our shoulders or tend to carry our shoulders by ears. With massage we can focus on the areas of concern helping reduce stress in the area. Massage also helps release serotonin and dopamine and decreases norepinephrine creating a calming feeling.

I recently treated this client using cupping to help with some of their mobility.
Some benefits to cupping are :
Improves mobility
Reduces painful trigger points
Improves circulation
Relieves pain

The sub occipital muscles lay at the base of your skull and are responsible for holding your head up. These tiny muscles can cause quite the headache going up the back of your head and to your forehead.
Cheesie Puff (Stretch) we called it the cheesie puff stretch in school as it causes quite the double chin.
Step 1: jut the chin back (creating a double chin )
Step 2: slowly curl your chin down ( you should start to feel the stretch in the back of the neck)
Step 3: hold for 30 seconds

Over the last few years I have taken a few courses on myofascial release. It is very good for people dealing with chronic pain as well as fibromyalgia. Fascia covers the entire body and when you are restricted fascially it can restrict your movement and create pain.

Hello everyone,
I took some much needed time off and enjoyed the holidays with my family. With that being said and where I was I had taken a covid test to make sure the return to work was all safe. Thankfully my test was negative and can get right back to work.
I hope everyone enjoyed their holidays and can’t wait to see you in 2022

With the holidays right around the corner, be mindful if you are wrapping presents for your loved ones. Sitting on the floor wrapping gifts can cause discomfort to your lower back as we have the tendency to over reach or bend in a way the body is not meant to move.
If you can, wrap your gifts using your table as you can either sit in a chair or stand when you need too.
This helps to reduce the strain on your lower back

Hello, with the holidays coming we have decided to try and give back to the community, this year we are giving back to the Whitney Pier Food Pantry. So for every non perishable food item you bring in your name will be put into a draw to win a free 1 hr massage.
Thank you for your support
