Happy National Play-Doh Day!

It's all fun and games until you've mashed all the colors together into an unrecognizable blob, or maybe left the container open overnight... ? 🤦‍♀️ 😑

Massage = your “reset” so you don’t feel like a mixed-up Play-Doh lump by the weekend.

Head to my website to learn how regular massage helps keep your muscles pliable, your stress levels lower, and your body moving with ease (no crumbly Play-Doh vibes here).

When I started my massage therapy business, I thought skill alone would be enough.
What I wish I knew:
✨ Mindset matters just as much as technique
✨ Boundaries are a form of self-care (and client care!)
✨ You don’t have to run your practice like everyone else

💬What do you wish you knew before starting your own massage therapy business?

When's the last time your car had an oil change or a tune-up?

Now stop and think... when is the last time your 𝑏𝑜𝑑𝑦 had that kind of maintenance?

We don't let our car's service engine light go unnoticed, but we often ignore our bodies trying to tell us we need rest, recovery, and hands-on care. (Trust me, I’ve been guilty of ignoring my own body’s signals too, it happens to all of us!)

𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐭𝐮𝐧𝐞-𝐮𝐩.
It keeps everything running smoothly, prevents breakdowns, and helps you go the distance.

So, when’s your next “body service appointment” scheduled?

Massage friends — let’s be real… how long do you think your thumbs and shoulders are gonna last working the same way? 🥴

That’s why I teach Next Level Pain Relief™ Level 1 — body-saving table techniques that feel amazing for your clients and don’t wreck your body.

Think of it as upgrading your massage toolbox without adding “new injuries” to the mix. 🙌

Just because you can push through, doesn’t mean you should.
Massage therapists are some of the most giving, hard-working people I know—but we’re also told a lot of toxic nonsense in the name of being “grateful” or “professional.”

If you’ve felt the pressure to say yes when you wanted to say no, you’re not alone. Your energy matters. Your needs matter. Your business should support you, not drain you.

👉 Tag a massage therapist who needs this reminder.

This month is self-care awareness month - who knew? 🤷‍♂️
(Ok, 𝐼 did...it's kind of my job.)

Massage is more than just self-care, it’s healthcare for your muscles.
How are you prioritizing self-care this month?
Tell me below, or let me help you carve out 60 minutes of stillness.

Worried about your first massage? Don’t stress... that's the exact opposite of what we're going for!

No one wants to miss out on feeling better because they're nervous about the unknown.

Here's a few key things to keep in mind when getting your first professional massage:
• I don't care if you forgot to shave your legs.
• No, you don’t need to “pre-relax.” That’s my job.
• You also don’t need to talk the whole time (unless you want to!).

If you’ve been putting it off, this is your sign to schedule that massage.

DM me with your questions; I’m happy to help!

Massage shouldn’t leave you crawling home after every shift.
If you’re exhausted, sore, or secretly wondering how long you can actually do this work… it’s time to learn techniques that give you longevity and energy.

That’s exactly what Next Level Pain Relief™ was designed for.
Work smarter, feel stronger, help more people.

📅 Oct 3–4 | 💸 $400 | 60 Bridgeport Rd. E Unit 202, Waterloo

What comes to mind when you think of Autumn?

Pumpkin Spice Everything?
Falling leaves and dropping temps?
Walking like Frankenstein because your muscles have locked up?

Fall often brings stiffer muscles, tighter joints, and a little extra stress.
Massage is a great way to warm up your body and your nervous system.
A little bodywork can bring you back to life.

🍂 What’s your favorite part of Fall? Drop it below 👇

A better plan.

Permission to change.

A decision to trust yourself..

If you’re going through the motions in your practice, or feeling burnt out, my course may be the spark that lights your fire again.

Comment “why not me” and I’ll send you all the details.

Sometimes self care looks like this! Having meaningful connections with loved ones is a great way to settle your nervous system. My partner and I really enjoyed a kid free dinner and at Massey Hall in Toronto!

What is your favourite way to connect with your loved ones?
