I’ve been a little quieter lately because things have been wonderfully busy. Last month was actually my busiest yet, and I am so grateful for you all!💆‍♀️💕

Reminder: I’m still setting aside part of my income from last month and this month to donate to a charity in the Philippines, so every session helps make a difference. 🌏✨

As of now, my next opening is on the 16th. Spots tend to go quickly once they’re available.

🛬 I’m back from the Philippines and ready to start taking appointments again!

On this Labor Day, I’m reminded not only of the progress workers have made in the U.S., but also of the vast inequalities I saw while traveling to the PI.

What struck me during my visit is that even with all the new development, there was still a lack of lasting infrastructure and deep systemic issues. It made me think about the importance of supporting work that builds real, long-term impact.. not just quick fixes.

That’s why from now until October 31, a portion of every session will be set aside to support organizations dedicated to creating lasting change for the future of the Philippines. This isn’t about one-time cleanups or temporary relief, but about focusing on the systemic issue (infrastructure, leadership, and civic development).

Here's a powerful collection of images in Manila that really captures the reality I witnessed firsthand: https://unequalscenes.com/manila

Thank you for being part of this journey with me💕

🌴Taking a little break August 20–31!
Mucho mahalo to all of you who work around my schedule, especially my lunchtime regulars!💕
Those lunchtime spots go fast, so if you're planning to squeeze in a session before I’m off, now’s the time to book.

⚠️ No more weekend appointments available in August, so let’s get you on the schedule while there’s still room!

You don't have to know what type of massage you need! That's my job.
Imagine if I had to price each of these separately😵

Wow-wow-wee-wow!! Look at little ol' Lani on this day 13 years ago!🥹
This is a picture of me after graduating from massage school. It's wild to look back and see how far I've come! I'm feeling super grateful today.

Back in the States, I was constantly booked months out (my snowbirds even booked a year out!). Moving to Misawa has been a humbling reset, having to start all over again. There are a LOT of massage options here, so when people choose me, work around my schedule, and spread the word, it means everything!

I pour a lot of thought and care into the way I work, and it means so much knowing that you value that.

To those who’ve trusted my expertise, whether once or over and over again: thank you! Your support allows me to rebuild my practice with purpose and heart💕

📦 PCS season is here, and I know a lot of you are feeling it!

Whether you're packing up to say goodbye or just getting settled into Misawa, your body (and probably your nerves) have been through a lot.

Between lifting heavy boxes, sleeping in unfamiliar beds, wrangling kids, and just the general chaos of moving, it’s no surprise that things are sore, tight, or just plain exhausted.

I had someone last week who booked herself a 2-hour massage as a reward for knocking out most of her packing, and honestly? Genius move. I had time to really slow down and focus on all the spots that needed extra attention, plus made sure everything else was addressed for full body maintenance.

So if your body’s feeling run-down from the PCS hustle, you’re not alone and you don’t have to power through it. I’ve got space for you to land, unwind, and feel like yourself again.

✨ Not sure what kind of session you need? Message me. If you do know your back is yelling at you, the booking link’s in my bio, or message to book😊

Even if you’ve had massages before, every eatablishment does things a little differently. Draping and table protocols can vary a lot. If you’re new to my practice, this guide walks you through exactly what to expect at New Again Massage Therapy, so you can feel comfortable and confident before your session starts💆🏻‍♀️✨

As always, feel free to reach out with any questions!

Have you ever had a massage that made you feel more pain than relief, or like your massage therapist didn't listen to you?

Let’s clear something up: deep tissue doesn’t mean brutal force. I’m not here to fight your body; I’m here to work with it. There’s a huge difference between deep tissue and deep pressure. Deep tissue refers to the manipulation of deeper layers of soft tissue, NOT the amount of force used. Pressure is just that: force. And more isn’t always better. Not every body needs an elbow drop!

I’ve had clients tell me they’ve had really painful sessions in the past that seemed to help, but when I work on them, their tissues often release quickly without needing a ton of pressure. That’s not magic. It’s about helping the nervous system feel safe enough to let go.

If you’re feeling sore for more than 48 hours after bodywork, chances are the body is dealing with inflammation rather than healing (more harm than good). That usually means you’ll just keep having the same issues.

On the other hand, I know how frustrating it can be when a sore spot doesn't feel relief at all. In many cases, that’s because the surrounding or related muscles weren’t addressed properly either. Effective work means looking at the bigger picture, not just the obvious tender spot.

It's even possible to get a “relaxation” massage with deep tissue techniques blended in, without all the wincing!

It all comes down to balance and communication. If you're tensing up and/or holding your breath, your nervous system is likely saying “nope,” and the body won't release under pressure like that.

TL;DR: massage doesn't have to hurt to be effective.

If you've ever told a friend or neighbor about your session, thank you! Word of mouth has always been the heart of my business.

To show my gratitude, I’ve started a referral rewards program:
𝗥𝗲𝗳𝗲𝗿 𝟯 𝗻𝗲𝘄 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀 who book and complete their sessions, and you’ll receive a 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝟲𝟬-𝗺𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗮𝗴𝗲 as a thank-you.

Just make sure your referrals mention your name when they book so I can keep track.

There’s no limit to how many times you can earn a reward. If you keep sharing, I’ll keep saying thank you.❤️

I just want to take a quick moment to say THANK YOU to everyone who made my first week working in Misawa great! Your support truly means the world to me. It feels so good to be back at it!

I hope you all had a chance to relax and enjoy Mother’s Day weekend! I’m really looking forward to seeing both familiar and new faces in the weeks ahead.

Thanks again for being part of this journey. I appreciate you all!
