Feeling energized after the time I spent learning about myofascial work this past month. I’m excited to start incorporating more of these techniques into my practice as I continue to learn about it. So stay tuned, and feel free to ask me any questions you might have.

Your yoga practice, and even your time on the massage table, is all about taking an opportunity to turn inward. As you get ready for a busy holiday season, give yourself the time and space to return to stillness as often as you need.

I’ll be away from the studio for a good chunk of November for training, and will be back to my normal hours after Thanksgiving. There aren’t many openings left for this month, so consider getting on the schedule.

Happy Friday! I’ve got a small announcement. Cupping is now available as an add-on to massage therapy services.

If you’re unfamiliar with cupping, this generally painless treatment involves suctioning the skin, which decompresses the tissue. Cupping can help to release fascial adhesions, improve circulation, reduce muscle tension, enhance mobility, and reduce pain.

Ask about it at your next session. Link in bio to book 😊

Grab your mat, and come explore breath and bandhas with me at the Clubhouse on Highland on Aug. 7th from 6-7 pm.

This class will involve slowing things down in order to look at the subtler, more energetic side of our asana practice (the practice of postures 🧘‍♀️), and should be a lot of fun! Hope to see you there.

Stress and anxiety like to show up as muscle tension in the body, particularly in the head, neck and shoulders. Muscle tension is even among the diagnostic criteria for certain anxiety disorders. Over time, persistent tension in the head, neck and shoulders can lead to chronic issues with headaches and TMJ dysfunction.

A massage therapy session focused on these areas can provide a lot of relief. But beyond addressing some of the physical symptoms of stress, therapeutic massage can be helpful by bringing the body into a state of deep relaxation.

If chronic stress or anxiety is something that you deal with, let me know what helps you! Is massage therapy part of your wellness routine?

Head, neck and shoulders is my favorite part of a massage.. I can’t think of anything more relaxing 💆🏻‍♀️

Follow up post to come on reasons why you might consider making this an area of focus during your next massage.

What’s your favorite part of a therapeutic massage and why? Tell me in the comments!

“Where there is no movement, there is pain. Where there is movement, there is no pain.” Traditional Chinese Saying

A deep tissue massage can be really effective for addressing the body’s pain points.

Deep tissue techniques work by breaking apart bonded and stuck tissue. This reintroduces movement back into that tissue, and improves circulation to the area. All of this can help to relieve pain!

If you’re considering massage therapy, and one of your goals is pain relief, I’d love to hear from you!

Enjoyed some time away in the Smoky Mountains. Headed into a weekend of myofascial training, and then I’ll be back in the studio! Looking forward to seeing clients soon ☺️

Assisted stretching during a massage = ✨

If you’ve been to a session with me, we’ve at least talked about stretching. By maintaining a certain degree of flexibility, you reduce risk of injury, and even a little bit of stretching done daily can help alleviate pain and stiffness. It’s a simple activity, but it pays off.

What are some of your favorite stretches?

Just to name a few! If it's been a while since your last massage, come see me.
