Thank you for the continuous support. $2000 is a lot to pay for a repeat course. Refining the technique after thousands of hours of practice is what makes Advanced, Deep Bodywork®️. 🪄✨

Hopefully this doesn’t mean more regulation. I would have never gotten where I am today if I was continually told I wasn’t allowed to practice. Ask why I’m not a CMT, I’ll tell you about it over some tea.

Experience the Butterfly Effect: One Session for You, a Ripple for the World.

Ever notice how one small shift can change everything? In chaos theory, it’s the Butterfly Effect—the idea that a tiny flap of wings can eventually stir the air on the other side of the globe. With Tessa Knight CMP, we believe your wellness works the same way.
When you step onto the table, you aren't just "treating yourself." You are starting a chain reaction:
The First Ripple: Your Personal Reset.
A single session lowers your cortisol (stress hormone) and boosts serotonin and dopamine. You leave with less physical pain, sharper focus, and a quieter mind.
The Second Ripple: Your Inner Circle.
When you are less irritable and more present, your relationships thrive. Research shows massage increases oxytocin, the "bonding hormone," which promotes trust and deeper social connection with family and friends.
The Third Ripple: The Community.
A "happier individual" has an infinite effect on the people around them. Your newfound patience at the grocery store or your calm energy at work is contagious. By choosing to heal yourself, you bring a more balanced, empathetic version of yourself back into the community.
Small Action. Massive Impact.
When you find your balance, you help the world find its own.
Book Your Session Today and see how far your wings can reach.

Donation time folk$. My services have been requested in Arcata California. Client is on governmental assistance and recently suffered a heart attack, collapsed lung, along with other stressors, like surviving homelessness. If we could come up with $200 that would pay my daily minimum plus $50 for gas (its a four hour drive from home base.) I wouldn’t be making any income on this service. If you can find it in your 💜, hook a sister up. She’s feeling another heart attack coming on, and she truly feels that I helped prevent her last one visiting sooner.

Don’t Let the Road Ahead Be a Dead End.
Imagine your spine is the ultimate highway—the central route connecting every part of your body. When the traffic flows, life is smooth. But when a "fender bender" happens at the base, the ripple effects can paralyze the entire network.
The Pile-Up at the Hips: It starts with a simple "accident"—tension or misalignment in your hips that acts like a major roadblock.
The Lower Back Gridlock: That initial crash causes an immediate "conflict" in the lower back, where traffic begins to stall and the pressure builds.
The Neck Bottleneck: Eventually, the congestion travels all the way north, "aggravating" your neck and causing a system-wide shutdown of your comfort and mobility.
Clear the Roadblocks Today.
Our specialized massage therapy doesn't just treat the "symptoms" at the end of the line; we clear the wreckage at the source. We provide expert care to realign your path, soothe the conflict in your lower back, and release the tension in your neck.
Get back in the fast lane to wellness.

Remind you of anyone?

Did You Know?
• A growing body of research shows that inadequate hydration increases cortisol spikes in response to stress
• In cold weather, horses naturally drink less, even when water is readily available
• Horses drank 40% more water when it was offered at 66°F compared to 32–38°F
• 82% of daily water intake occurs within the first 3 hours after feeding
• This makes feed time the most critical window for providing fresh, warm water

Why This Matters

Reduced water intake quietly increases:
• physiological stress
• digestive strain
• risk of impactions
• muscle and fascial stiffness

Winter Hydration, Stress, and Electrolytes in Horses

Cold weather naturally reduces a horse’s thirst — but hydration is just as critical in winter as in summer. When water intake drops, stress hormones rise, digestion slows, and muscles and fascia lose elasticity.

Most winter dehydration happens quietly. If water is too cold or not refreshed at feeding time, horses simply don’t drink enough.

Cold Weather Hydration Basics

Horses that drink less water are more prone to:
• dehydration
• dry manure and impaction colic
• poor digestion
• muscle stiffness and slower warm-ups

Practical tip:
Refill buckets with fresh, warm water at feeding time, when horses are most likely to drink.

Even small daily water deficits add up over time, increasing colic risk and physical stress.

Salt and Electrolytes Still Matter in Winter

Electrolytes aren’t just a summer concern. Cold weather creates its own hydration challenges.

Salt keeps horses drinking.
Cold temperatures blunt thirst, and many horses drink only 50–80% of their normal intake in winter. Salt stimulates thirst and supports circulation and digestion.

Salt helps the body retain water.
Salt doesn’t just increase drinking — it helps the body hold onto and properly distribute water. Without enough salt, water passes through too quickly and tissues remain dehydrated.

Why this matters:
Water alone doesn’t equal hydration. Salt allows water to actually hydrate tissues.

Winter Dehydration Is Often Missed

Cold-weather dehydration contributes to:
• impaction colic
• reduced performance
• muscle tightness
• poor circulation

Horses also lose electrolytes through urine, manure, normal metabolism, and moisture lost from the respiratory tract — even without visible sweat.

A horse can be dehydrated without ever looking sweaty.

Cold Stress Increases Daily Needs

To stay warm, horses burn more calories and rely on sodium and chloride for normal muscle and nerve function. Adequate hydration supports muscle firing, coordination, circulation, and heat production.

Blankets can further hide sweat and salt loss, allowing dehydration to build unnoticed.

What to Feed in Winter

Plain salt (daily):
Most horses need 1–2 tablespoons (15–30 g) of plain salt year-round. Salt blocks and licks are rarely sufficient.

Electrolytes:
Consider adding when the horse is in work, water intake drops, manure becomes drier, weather is cold and dry, or the horse sweats under blankets.
Choose salt-based, not sugar-based products.

In Essence
• Salt keeps horses drinking and helps retain water
• Electrolytes keep muscles and nerves functioning
• Hydration keeps the gut moving and tissues healthy

Winter hydration isn’t optional — it’s foundational to health, movement, and performance.
