January Mini Newsletter
Hey y’all! 💚
Just popping in with a little mid-January check-in because I know the start of the year can feel like a LOT — new routines, busy schedules, stress, and somehow we’re already halfway through January 😅
If you’ve been feeling tight, sore, or extra tense lately… you are not alone.
✨ Mid-Month Reset Tip
If you do nothing else today… unclench your jaw and drop your shoulders.
Most of us carry stress without even realizing it — especially in the neck, shoulders, and low back.
A quick reset you can try right now:
✅ Take a deep breath in through your nose
✅ Exhale slowww and let your shoulders melt down
✅ Roll them back 3 times
✅ Drink some water (yes I’m still going to say it 😂)
💪 Stretch of the Week (super simple)
Doorway Chest Stretch (30 seconds)
Stand in a doorway, place your forearms on the frame, and gently lean forward.
This helps with:
-rounded shoulders
-tight chest
-neck tension from phone/computer posture
🧠 Massage Myth vs Fact
Myth: “I have to be in pain to come get a massage.”
Fact: The BEST time to come is before you’re miserable.
Regular bodywork helps you stay ahead of tension so you’re not constantly playing catch-up.
