Food for thought 🪴

I love this photo.

In Denmark, "gender roles" are practically non existent. Everyone mixes and learns how to cook, clean, knit, work with wood. Because everyone is expected to take part in life equally.

Men take great pride in their roles as dads as much as women and society greatly encourages this.

I wonder if we replaced the classic idea of "boys will be boys" (rough, rowdy, rambunctious, plays with cars and dinosaurs) and replaced it with (sweet, caring, sensitive, thoughtful, likes to play house and take care of kids) what would we see in our future dads who then go on to influence the next future dads?

After living in Scandinavia, I saw nothing more "manly" as someone who confidently steps in to take care of children with all the love, work and effort this requires. Sling an ax to chop a tree, meh... sling a diaper change and swaddle a baby with delicate ease while cooing and looking in their eyes?....wonderful.

Seeing as play is where children practice life roles the most, let's give more and more opportunity for play without the stigma, and redefine "boys will be boys" to include all the wonderful possibilities of becoming kind, helpful, caring humans.

Isn't this what we want more of in the world?

☀ cook something delicious
☀ read your favourite childhood book again!
☀ call that friend who makes you laugh more than speak!
☀ be creative, only You know how to make You happy!

Treat yourself to some self-care this Tuesday 💚 🐢

What does it mean to be Health Happy?

Do you wake up in the morning feeling like a thousand suns are shining out of you and you're ready to face the day, no matter what the world throws at you?! Yeah…sounds like a fairytale right?

Believe it or not, regular massage (same as regular exercise, or good food intake) can help improve your day-to-day energy levels. Massage aids blood flow, and so delivers oxygen to all the body's cells, which we need for energy.

Massage also helps your lymphatic system, which is responsible for removing toxins, waste build-up and bacteria and if these guys are all doing what their suppose to be doing and functioning well, we too will feel like a million bucks!

Swedish massage provides pain reduction, sleep improvement, and stress reduction.
Imagine a life without those three bad boys; less pain, more sleep, and less stress? Yes, please!

I sincerely look forward to speaking with you. A quick message is all it takes and we will set up your information intake before your first massage. (Just a simple form). Understandably, you don't have hours to spend looking after yourself. The beforehand intake cuts down on time spent on the day. It also gives me time to plan your specific treatment before you visit.

Can't wait to chat!

Do your hamstrings scream every time you go into downward dog - if you have time to do yoga at all?!

Totally get it. At Turtles Unlimited Massage Therapy, we love working with Superheros, oh sorry, I mean Moms!

A 'Turtle massage' differs from a spa massage because it is a massage with a specific goal. Tight hamstrings? The session will be focused on lengthening the hamstring muscles. Sore neck from holding the world on your shoulders? The session will be focused on releasing tension from the back and neck. And so on and so forth.

A full assessment is completed before our very first session to make sure we (You and your therapist) can work together to create a treatment plan that works for your busy life.

It's time to start feeling like yourself again!

I sincerely look forward to speaking with you. Message us and we will set up your information intake before your first massage. (Just a simple form). We understand that you don't have hours to spend at the spa. The beforehand intake cuts down on time spent on the day. It also gives me time to plan your treatment beforehand.

Can't wait to chat!

Why should we choose Holistic Therapy?

Holistic Therapy works with traditional medicine to heal a person holistically, including body, mind, soul, and emotions, in the quest for optimal health and wellness. Holistic healing encourages people to strive for wholeness and healthy living, with the ultimate objective of achieving correct balance in all aspects of life. Whole-body care is emphasized in holistic treatments. Practitioners consider not only a person’s bodily health but also his or her emotional and spiritual well-being.

Healthy eating habits and likewise activities are at the center of the holistic treatment approach. Yoga and other stress-relieving and self-relaxing routines are also thought to be beneficial to patients’ general health. Holistic treatment, such as massage therapy, also achieves the ideal state of health by balancing emotional, mental, and physical well-being. This strengthens your body’s resistance to illness and enhances your mental toughness when confronted with adversity.

Holistic Therapy provides a wide spectrum of mental, physical, and spiritual health advantages. This strategy not only supplements traditional approaches, but also helps to extend their advantages in the following ways:

Physical Benefits:
• Fatigue alleviation
