Did you know massage can retrain your nervous system to stop overreacting to pain?
⠀
This isn’t just about muscles — it’s about your brain. When your body is constantly in fight-or-flight mode, even minor aches feel major. Therapeutic massage helps shift your nervous system into a calmer state, making you less sensitive to stress and pain over time.
⠀
It’s not just a feel-good fix. It’s nervous system rehab.

Hot Summer Days = Tight Muscles + Low Energy?

Whether you’re soaking up the sun, hiking those dusty trails, or just melting in the heat — your body takes a hit. Dehydration, tension, and fatigue build up fast in the summer.

🌿 Massage therapy helps you:
✅ Release built-up heat + tension
✅ Boost circulation + recovery
✅ Reset your nervous system (and mood!)

🔥 Don’t let the heat wear you down. Book a massage and cool your system from the inside out.

Your body will thank you — even in triple digits.

Struggling with sleep or sore muscles? You might be missing this one key mineral—**MAGNESIUM.

Magnesium plays a vital role in calming the nervous system, relaxing tight muscles, and supporting deep, restorative sleep. 🛌✨ It helps regulate melatonin (your sleep hormone) and reduces nighttime cramping or restlessness—so your body can repair and recover while you rest.

💪 Ideal for:
✔️ Active bodies
✔️ Stressed minds
✔️ Anyone looking to improve recovery & sleep quality

🕓 Best taken in the evening—think of it as your natural wind-down.

👉 Not all forms are created equal: look for magnesium glycinate or magnesium threonate for sleep & relaxation benefits.

The essential role of water and electrolytes in summer:
Hydration supports muscle contraction, nutrient delivery, joint and tissue lubrication, and helps maintain body temperature.

When it’s hot outside, we lose more water through sweat and increased urination. When we sweat we not only lose water, but we also lose electrolytes such as sodium potassium magnesium and calcium.

Electrolyte imbalances can cause confusion, headaches, muscle cramps or spasms, weakness, fatigue, and nausea just to name a few.

One of Jessica’s specialties is Bowen Therapy Massage. Bowen therapy, also known as the Bowen Technique, is a form of bodywork that involves gentle, rolling hand movements over muscles, tendons, and fascia.
