Well it took a little while longer (thanks Covid!) but I’m saying bye to Osborne Village! It’s been a blast. I feel like I grew up here, spending 16 years of my career here. Time to start my next chapter. If I haven’t gotten in touch with you yet please do reach out, but I promise I’m slowly checking all the things off my list! ✨

Hello Friends 👋🏻 I cannot wait until things get back to “normal” and that seems to be right around the corner 🤞🏻. However, with the changes in health orders beginning Saturday for the province, I just wanted to clarify that mask/Covid screening protocols for the office will remain unchanged. You will STILL be required to wear a mask to the office, do the self screening survey and sanitize your hands upon entry ☺️. I thank you for understanding and being kind!

The newest changes to health orders allows us to gather in your homes for infant massage classes 🎉 So if you and a friend (or 2) had babies around the same time and would like to learn how to massage your babies in person together, check out the details on my website (link in profile) or shoot me a message to chat about it! (I’m currently booking September sessions so it’s never too early to secure a spot!)

Hoping you’re all enjoying your hot summer so far! Just wanted to hop on quickly to let you know my summer months are fully booked up (there might be one or two random openings in late August remaining), if you’d like to start booking fall appointments I will open up more availability next month! Forever grateful for you all! ☀️

Providing touch therapy to your little one doesn’t have to be complicated. Start off simple with a little hand or foot massage. Barely 30 seconds of touch will trigger oxytocin production, both in your baby and you. Oxytocin is our love and cuddle hormone, so it can help so much with the bonding process (and milk production!!) . Not only will a little massage daily strengthen communication between you and baby but it also enhances neurological development and aids in healthy digestion and weight gain. 🙌🏻

You can’t tell but this kiddo was really enjoying his massage! When you come in for a massage appointment for your child you are encouraged to stay in the room during the session. It’s important for your child (and you!) to feel comfortable and safe at all times. You’ll hear me try to maintain a steady conversation with your child to keep them engaged, and also just to get to know them better. I put your child in charge of their session, once they tell me they’re done then we stop. So it is typical if we don’t fill the entire time slot set aside. The goal of each session is to get them comfortable and enjoy their time there!

Waiting to see when restrictions will lift and that’s when I’ll be able to take in more appointments! In the meantime feel free to email me with questions or to be placed on my contact list ☺️ Tap the link in my profile!

How is it already October 🙈 In case you’re wondering, I won’t be booking any more for 2020, and the calendar will open up in the new year. But as always, feel free to send me an email if you had any questions!

09/11/2020

I’m hoping this weather sticks around a little while longer! Just a heads up that September and October are fully booked up! I won’t be filling in November slots until the end of September! Dont forget to use your coverage for 2020! We all definitely need some RMT this year 😉

Just a friendly reminder to everyone coming in for their massage therapy treatments:
- please go through the Covid-19 self assessment tool at https://sharedhealthmb.ca/covid19/screening-tool/ (linked in my profile)
- if you have travelled outside of Manitoba within the last 14 days please schedule your appointment accordingly
- please enter the office wearing a mask and use the hand sanitizer provided by the entrance
- please use debit or credit for payments
- try not to come any earlier than 5 minutes before your treatment time
👉🏻Let’s work together and keep this pandemic under control! Thank you all for your patience and support these past few months! 🙌🏻🙂😷

Heading back to school this week can be a stressful time for both caregivers and kiddos! Remember to massage them to help them relax and bring down those stress hormones. A simple back stroke from the base of the neck down on to the hips on repeat is all it takes! Did you know that can help children stay calm and concentrate better on school work?😉

COVID-19 halted my plans to meet with this year 😭 but they were able to offer some online workshops. Here’s the thing with this foundation that I find amazing: they are constantly evolving based on current studies of touch therapy. There is always something new to learn. The benefits of Pediatric touch therapy is evidence based, so the next time you hear someone chuckle at the thought of a baby getting a massage you can rest assured this modality is truly therapeutic. It’s called Touch Therapy for a reason😉

My 8 year old asked for a massage the other day. Can I tell you how pumped I was to set the table up for this little guy? 😆 this is the kid who never wants a massage but can desperately benefit from it (sensory, self esteem and hip rotation issues). The key is to never push it on them. Always offer but never force. They’ll come around for you eventually 😉 If you guys have any questions for me, I’ll be going live over tomorrow 2pm cst 🙌🏻

Missing teaching group classes. Did you know that you can start massaging your newborn as early as 3 weeks old? ☺️ Feel free to reach out anytime with questions!

Found this photo from 5 years ago 😭😍 Start giving your babies facial massages early on so when they start teething you can help ease their discomfort easier 👍🏻

It’s on us as caregivers to nurture our children and raise them to be kind and loving humans ✌🏻✊🏻 You can start young with the power of nurturing touch.
