🌟 June Update – Please Read! 🌟

Hey friends! Quick heads up — online booking is CLOSED for the month of June, but I’m still seeing clients 7 days a week from 9am–6:30pm! You just gotta text and I'll send available times.

I recently accepted a second full-time job (yay for new adventures!) and while my schedule is flexible, I realized compartmentalizing my days just isn’t for me. I don’t want to miss seeing massage clients just because my availability isn’t showing online.

👉 So for June, please TEXT me directly to book: (907) 382-6394. I’ll make it happen!

Thank you SO much for your patience as I juggle both roles. And thank you even more for your love, support, and referrals — 2025 is already shaping up to be my busiest year since 2018 thanks to YOU. 💛

I truly love what I do, and I’m honored to help ease tension, stress, emotions — and offer a safe space to talk, heal, and grow. You and your families are like a second family to me. 💆‍♀️💬

Text me with any questions — and yes, reminder texts are totally welcome! 😉

Deep Pressure and the Nervous System!!!

Not every client needs deep pressure and sometimes, it’s the worst thing you can do.

We’ve all had clients say, “You can go as deep as you want, I like it hard.”
But here’s what they don’t know and what most therapists forget:

When pressure goes too deep, too fast, for too long... the body doesn’t relax it fights. That’s not therapy. That’s trauma with oil.

Instead of calming the nervous system and inviting the body into a healing state, you’re triggering the sympathetic response adrenaline, bracing, guarding, shallow breath. Muscles don’t release. They contract harder.

You might feel like you’re “breaking through,” but the client’s brain is actually screaming:
“Protect, protect, protect!”

This creates the illusion of progress but nothing actually changed.
No signal reached the brain to let go.
No shift into parasympathetic mode.
No healing.

Deep work should feel safe, not forceful. It should invite not invade.

The most skilled therapists don’t push harder. They listen deeper.
They adjust pressure based on the nervous system’s response not their own ego.

It’s not about how deep you go, it’s about how deep the body lets you in.
