Hi, it’s Mia here! 🌼

Let’s talk about something a little deeper… emotional wellbeing. This is the third pillar of wellness massage, and one of the most powerful.

Massage creates a safe, nurturing space where your nervous system can shift out of “fight or flight” and into “rest and restore.” This gentle space often allows emotions to surface, release, and be soothed.

Research shows:
🌿 Touch-based therapies like massage activate the parasympathetic nervous system and support emotional regulation (McGlone et al., 2014).
🌿 Clients often report emotional relief, reduced sadness, and a greater sense of emotional resilience post-massage (Moyer et al., 2011).

✨ Eases emotional overwhelm
✨ Encourages emotional release
✨ Supports a sense of safety, calm & healing

Massage is not just for the body! It’s a space to feel, soften, and heal.

Take care of yourself,
Mia 🌼

Hi, it’s Mia here! 🌼 Let’s check in with your mind. The second pillar of wellness massage is mental clarity and stress relief.

Massage helps calm the nervous system, lowering cortisol (your stress hormone) and boosting serotonin and dopamine, those natural mood-lifting chemicals. This helps reduce anxiety and restore balance in your busy, beautiful brain.

The research says:
🌿 Massage therapy decreases cortisol and increases serotonin and dopamine levels (Field, 2020).
🌿 It significantly reduces symptoms of anxiety and improves mental clarity (Moyer et al., 2004).

✨ Reduces mental fatigue
✨ Improves mood & focus
✨ Encourages calm & mental clarity

When the body relaxes, the mind often follows. You deserve a quiet space to breathe.

Take care of yourself,
Mia 🌼

Wellness Wednesday: Physical Wellness 🌿

Hi, it’s Mia here! 🌼

Let’s talk about the first pillar of wellness massage: your physical body.

Tight shoulders, stiff necks, low back pain… our muscles absorb so much from stress, posture, and day-to-day life. A relaxation massage supports your body with gentle techniques that release tension and boost circulation, helping you move and feel better.

Research shows:
🌿Massage therapy improves blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles, enhancing recovery and reducing pain (Weerapong et al., 2005).
🌿It also reduces muscle stiffness and soreness after physical stress (Best et al., 2008).

✨ Improves circulation
✨ Relieves muscle tension
✨ Promotes recovery and physical ease

Give your body a chance to soften, it works so hard for you every day.

Take care of yourself,
Mia 🌼
