Be Forever Balanced

Be Forever Balanced Welcome to Be Forever Balanced. Hi, I’m Anima Amen-Ra—licensed massage therapist, Army veteran, mother, and founder of Be Forever Balanced.

It is my goal to provide women with more than just a relaxing massage, but to help empower, embrace, and impact a healthy lifestyle. I created this space for women seeking more than relaxation—women who want to reconnect with their bodies, release stress, and find deep, lasting balance. At Be Forever Balanced, massage is a form of healing, reflection, and empowerment. Every session is intentional, trauma-informed, and rooted in compassion. Whether you're here for physical relief or emotional restoration, you are seen, supported, and safe.

✨ Gentle Reminder from Be Forever Balanced ✨

At Be Forever Balanced, my heart and focus are on creating a safe, nurturing space for women to relax, heal, and restore balance. 💆🏽‍♀️

Thank you for understanding and supporting this balance—it helps me keep Be Forever Balanced a sanctuary of peace. 🌿

‼️ NEW SERVICE ALERT ‼️
Some of us carry all our stress in our upper body—our back, shoulders, neck, and even our face. If that sounds like you, I’ve created a service just for it.

✨ Back, Shoulders, Neck, & Face Massage ✨
This focused session releases tension, improves circulation, and melts away stress where you feel it most. And because your comfort matters, you can exclude any area you don’t want worked on—making it fully customized to you.

Why offer this?
Because not everyone needs or wants a full-body massage. Sometimes, the areas that ache, tighten, or feel heavy are the ones that deserve all the attention.

📅 Book your upper-body reset today and experience the difference concentrated care can make:

🔧 Tune-Up Tuesday 🔧
Let’s talk about something we don’t always prioritize:
Taking care of what’s under the hood.

We spend a lot of time—and money—on our outside appearance:
💄 Hair, skin, clothes, makeup, nails, muscles.
But how often do we check in on our internal health?
Our digestion, our nervous system, our emotional balance?

The truth is—real beauty and vitality begin inside.
When your internal systems are well cared for, it shows:
✨ Your skin glows.
✨ Your energy rises.
✨ Your posture improves.
✨ Your whole vibe shifts.

Think of your body like your car.
You wouldn’t just wax it and shine the tires without doing:
🛠️ Oil changes
🛠️ Tire rotations
🛠️ Tune-ups
🛠️ Regular maintenance

Your body needs the same love. Massage therapy, proper hydration, balanced nutrition, deep rest—these are your inner tune-ups. They help you function better, longer, and with more ease.

It’s time to care for the inside just as much—if not more—than the outside.

📅 Ready for your tune-up?
Let your next massage session be a gift to your whole system.

Group Meditation & Assisted Touch Session
Women Only | 60 Minutes | 3–5 Participants

This unique group session is designed to help women return to themselves—body, breath, and mind. Held in a safe, intimate space with 3 to 5 participants, this one-hour experience blends guided meditation, breathwork, and gentle, non-intimate assisted touch to support deep nervous system regulation.

Through calming breath techniques and intentional thought focus, participants are guided into a space where the mind begins to quiet—not just “cleared,” but soothed. This process opens the door to internal listening, positive self-talk, and heightened proprioception—the ability to feel your body from within.

What makes this session different is the integration of assisted touch—safe, supportive, non-intimate physical contact offered during meditation. Gentle hand placements on the shoulders, arms, or upper back help regulate the nervous system, release stress, and restore a sense of grounded presence. In a world where many women experience touch as either absent or unsafe, this practice restores connection to the body in a compassionate, trauma-informed way.

Clients are encouraged to wear loose, comfortable clothing. No massage tables or oils are used—this is a clothed, seated or reclining experience designed for deep internal work and somatic calm.

🌞 Wakeful Wednesday 🌞
Let’s wake up to the truth about stress—because not all of it is bad.

Did you know there’s such a thing as good stress?
✨ It’s the energy that helps you meet a deadline.
✨ The excitement before something new.
✨ The fuel that pushes you to grow.

Good stress challenges you without overwhelming you. It keeps you moving with purpose.

But when stress becomes constant, heavy, and unrelenting, it crosses the line into bad stress—and that’s where the trouble begins.
It can look like:
💢 Chronic tension in the shoulders
💢 Difficulty sleeping
💢 Brain fog
💢 Irritability or anxiety
💢 Weakened immunity

That’s why routine massage therapy is more than a luxury—it’s a tool for resetting your nervous system and returning to balance. Massage helps regulate stress hormones, lowers blood pressure, and brings you back into your body.

But don’t stop there—you have power every day to manage stress, too:
🌿 Take a few minutes each morning to breathe deeply
🌿 Drink water and nourish your body mindfully
🌿 Journal what you’re holding onto—and what you’re ready to let go
🌿 Step outside and ground your feet to the Earth
🌿 Say no when your body says “enough”

Let massage be the reset.
Let your daily practices be the maintenance.
Let your awareness be your strength.

📅 Ready to manage stress with more ease and less pressure?
Let’s get you on the table.

🌬️ Detachment is not disconnection. It’s peace.

Letting go emotionally doesn’t mean you stop caring.
It means you choose not to let people, work, obstacles, or situations disturb your inner peace.

Emotional detachment—when done from a place of love and clarity, not bitterness or resentment—is a powerful form of self-preservation.
It allows you to witness life without being consumed by it.

✨ And that’s exactly what we invite you into on the massage table.

At Be Forever Balanced, massage isn’t just about relaxation—it’s an opportunity to actively reflect, breathe, and find emotional stability in a safe, grounded space.

Your time on the table can become your sanctuary.
A moment to reclaim your energy.
A chance to say, “This doesn’t control me. I am choosing peace.”

Take the time to let go, not with anger—but with grace.
Let massage be more than bodywork. Let it be soul work too.

🌬️ Tension Release Tuesday 🌬️
Let’s talk about stress—what it really is and how it affects your body.

Stress is your body’s natural response to perceived threats. It triggers your sympathetic nervous system, releasing cortisol and adrenaline—great in emergencies, but harmful when constantly activated.
Over time, chronic stress can cause:
🧠 Mental fatigue
💔 Heart strain
🍽️ Digestive issues
😣 Muscle tension
🌙 Sleep disruption

But here’s the good news:
Massage therapy is one of the most effective, natural ways to calm your nervous system and activate the parasympathetic response—the “rest and digest” mode. This helps your body slow down, breathe deeper, and begin to heal.

✨ After your massage, your body is in a beautifully open state for deeper self-care.
That’s why I always encourage clients to follow up with:
🧘‍♀️ Meditation or deep breathing
🌿 Energy balancing (like Reiki or grounding practices)
🕊️ Simply being present and still

Learning to stay centered—even when life swirls around you—is a form of emotional sovereignty.
Don’t let situations, people, or pressures stake a claim on your peace. You choose what you carry.

If stress has you feeling heavy or scattered, let me help you release it—one breath, one massage, one moment at a time.

🌿 Mindful Monday 🌿

Balance isn’t a destination—it’s a rhythm.
A dance between work and rest, movement and stillness, indulgence and restraint, doing and simply being.

Just as our bodies constantly strive for homeostasis—a harmonious inner state—we, too, are always navigating toward our own personal sense of equilibrium. This balance isn’t one-size-fits-all.
✨ Your balance may not look like anyone else’s.
✨ And that’s okay.

Balanced meals, balanced schedules, balanced energy—it all starts from within. When we tune into our own needs instead of external expectations, we begin to create a life that feels both steady and nourishing.

If you’ve been feeling off-center, depleted, or overwhelmed, I invite you to join me for Breathe + Be—a guided class designed to help you reconnect with your inner compass. Through breathwork, mindfulness, and gentle movement, you’ll be reminded that balance isn’t found… it’s cultivated.

💫 Let today be the day you begin again—back to center, back to you.

📅 Sign up now for this week’s Breathe + Be class and give yourself the gift of recalibration.
