18 years ago today I graduated with my diploma for therapeutic massage and bodywork. One of the best and fulfilling things I’ve ever done. Thanks to my momma ❤️ for pushing my butt into that career. Who would have ever thought I’d have been able to do this for 18 years and have my own business for just shy of 6 1/2 years. Thank you to my momma, my family and friends and of course to all of my wonderful clients who have kept me going. I know some of you would find me if I retired hahaha.

For all of my clients. We are in that time of the year again with snow warnings. If you do not feel safe driving or if the weather gets too bad I will call for a reschedule. I’d rather be safe and reschedule.

Hi everyone. I have an important announcement. Starting September 9th, I will be taking on a new role. I have agreed to a contract to become a health and phys ed teacher for the Reading School district. Although I’ll be taking the position, I will not be closing my office. I’ll be switching my hours to Monday through Wednesday from 5:30pm to 9:30pm. It’s already been changed in massagebook. I will be rotating some weekend hours as well and they will be posted on my social media. For the time being, I will not be taking any new clients. If you have any questions, please reach out.

Did you know a gift certificate for a massage for Father’s Day is a great gift? Making it a routine is a great gift for the mind and body. Head over to massagebook for a gift certificate.

Did you know massage is not only beneficial physically but mentally as well? From the Mayo Clinic: “A one-hour massage lowers cortisol in your body while also releasing serotonin. This hormone neurotransmitter is sometimes called the “happy chemical” because it reduces feelings of depression and carries signals between nerves and your body. By lowering cortisol and increasing serotonin, you’re boosting your body’s ability to fight off pain, anxiety and feelings of sadness.” (https://www.mayoclinichealthsystem.org/hometown-health/speaking-of-health/massage-for-depression-anxiety-and-stress)

Using massagebook makes it easy. Trying to find a date may be stressful 😂

Got my first CEU’s of the year and added a new tool to the repertoire. Gua sha or metal scraping will be added to the menu. Gua sha is a technique used to help break up inflammation. Some “bruising” or redness may occur.
