Heather’s Balancing Touch LMT

09/15/2025

I’ve had a few spots open up this week, and I’d love to see you on the table! Regular massage isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about better sleep, improved circulation, less tension, and giving your mind a reset, too.

Here’s what I have open right now:
📍 Thursday – 1:15 PM
📍 Friday – 7:00 AM, 8:15 AM, 1:30 PM, 3:00 PM

Whether you need deep work on those knots, gentle relaxation, or want to try something unique like hot seashells or Tibetan fire therapy (yes, I really set you on fire—in a healing way!), there’s a session with your name on it.

Did you know a single massage can lower stress hormones by up to 30%?
That’s why so many of my clients tell me they sleep deeper, breathe easier, and feel more like themselves for days afterward.

And yes… sometimes that even means Tibetan Fire Therapy. 🔥 With the drum and flame work, it’s designed to release deep tension, rebalance energy, and leave you feeling both grounded and renewed. It sounds wild, but once you’ve experienced it, you’ll understand why it’s one of my favorites.

Here are my upcoming openings next week:
Monday, Sept 22 – 8:15, 9:30, 11:00, 1:00
Friday, Sept 26 – 7:00 am

This week I’m already full, but if you’d like to be added to my cancellation list just let me know.

✨ Last-Minute Openings ✨ updated thanks it filled!!

I want to take a minute to talk about last-minute cancellations. I completely understand that life happens and sometimes things come up unexpectedly. But when someone cancels without much notice, it directly impacts my business and my paycheck.

To you it might feel like “just a massage,” but to me, it’s how I pay my bills, support my family, and keep doing what I love. When a spot is left empty, that’s income I can’t replace unless someone else jumps in quickly.

With that being said—one just opened up:
🕣 Tomorrow (Thursday) at 8:30 AM

If you’ve been thinking about booking, this is your sign! 💛 Your body (and your massage therapist 😉) will thank you.

📍 Black River Falls | 📲 Message me to claim it before it’s gone!

📸they like to eat and I like to work so please make sure you give me 24 hour notice!!!!

🌪️✨ Wild & Crazy Wednesday with Massage! ✨🌪️

I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve heard funny things about what I do…
👂 “Wait… you massage people with your feet?!”
👂 “What’s an Abhyanga? A Bianca?!”
👂 “Shara… Shiro… Sharra?!”
👂 “What the heck is Fire Cupping? Are you lighting people on fire?” 🔥😂

Yep, I’ve heard it all — so let’s clear it up and have some fun with it today:

💆‍♀️ Thai Massage – Think of it like yoga, but I do the stretching for you. Fully clothed, lots of movement, super energizing.

👣 Ashiatsu (a.k.a. the “foot massage”) – Yes, I really use my feet! Don’t worry, it’s controlled, supported, and gives the deepest pressure without hurting my hands (or your muscles).

🪔 Abhyanga – A warm oil massage from Ayurveda. Long, sweeping strokes that feel grounding and nurturing, perfect for calming the nervous system.

🌊 Shirodhara – The “third-eye oil pour.” Warm oil drips gently onto your forehead to melt stress, balance the mind, and drop you into deep relaxation.

🔥 Fire Cupping – Nope, I don’t set YOU on fire. I warm the cups with flame to create suction — this helps release tight muscles, increase circulation, and can even leave cute little heart-shaped marks because I have heart cups 💜.

🌸 Hot Bamboo / Hot Stone / Hot Seashell Massage – Heated tools that roll, glide, and melt tension right out of your body.

🌊 Sound Therapy & Tuning Forks – Vibrations that help your body reset and rebalance, especially great for emotional stress.

✨ Lomi Lomi – Hawaiian-style flowing massage that feels like ocean waves washing over you.

And that’s just a slice of the menu — from pregnancy to hospice, light touch to deep, I’ve got you covered. 🦋

So tell me — what’s the weirdest or funniest thing YOU’VE ever heard about massage? Drop it in the comments, let’s laugh together today.

🌿✨ Afternoon Reset: Let’s Talk Massage + Money

👉 Make sure you read all the way to the bottom — there’s a gift certificate sale you don’t want to miss! 🎁✨

Here’s something to think about: massage isn’t just about feeling good in the moment. When you look at it from the bigger picture, it can actually save you money — fewer sick days, less time off work, faster healing and recovery, and better mental health. Prevention almost always costs less than the fix.

💵 My Pricing + Why
• 30 min → $65 → Best for kids, elders, or a quick “intro” to massage. Great for spot work, but not enough for full-body results.
• 60 min → $85 → Perfect for maintenance, stress relief, and regular body care. A solid reset when you don’t have a ton of time.
• 90 min → $130 → The sweet spot! Enough time to focus on problem areas and still give you that full-body relaxation.
• 2 hrs → $185 → The deep dive. Great for chronic tension, athletes, or anyone who wants to melt away layers of stress and walk out brand new.

👉 Over time, it looks like this:

Maintenance / Relaxation
• Once a month → $1,020–$1,560/year (about $20–$30 a week)
• Twice a month → $2,040–$3,120/year (about $40–$60 a week)

Injury Recovery
Most people heal best with a short plan of weekly → biweekly → monthly sessions.
💡 Cost: under $1,000 for months of recovery + maintenance.
⚖️ Compare that to the average ER visit: $2,300 — for just one trip.

Massage = prevention, faster healing, and fewer missed days of life. 💛

✨ And here’s the thing — yes, you can squeeze a massage in when you really need it (and that’s great!). But what if it was already planned and paid for? Imagine budgeting it in monthly — first paycheck, second paycheck, done ✅. Or using that tax return from good old Uncle Sam to pre-book your self-care for the year ahead so you never have to stress about the money side.

💛 And because life happens — I always have a sliding scale for those real-life moments when you need care but money feels tight.

🎁 Gift Certificate Flash Sale – Now through Friday!
Want to really save? Pre-pay with gift certificates and lock in 25% off:
• 30 min → $50
• 60 min → $65
• 90 min → $100

Massage doesn’t have to be a scramble — it can be something you look forward to, built right into your life. 🌸

So tell me — are you team budget monthly, team treat yourself at tax time, or team grab the gift cert deal before Friday?

✨ Good morning, friends — Happy Tuesday! ✨

Let’s talk about one of my favorite topics while you sip your coffee: massage. 💆‍♀️💛

👉 How often should you get a massage?
Think of it like brushing your teeth — one session is great, but consistency is where the real magic happens.
• Maintenance massage: Once or twice a month keeps tension away, improves circulation, and gives your body the reset it craves.
• Injury massage: Usually weekly or bi-weekly while you’re in recovery, then taper down as your body heals.
• Relaxation massage: Anytime your soul says “please.” Even one can shift your whole week.

🔥 Now, let’s play “this or that”:
• Hot Stone vs. Hot Bamboo:
• Stones melt away stress, sink deep into muscles, and are amazing for grounding.
• Bamboo brings warmth and movement — it rolls and presses, giving a more invigorating stretch-like feel.
• Glass Cupping vs. Bamboo Cupping:
• Glass cups create strong, deep suction (hello detox + pain relief).
• Bamboo cups are gentler, warmer, and easier to move around for a more flowy feel.

At the end of the day, it’s about what your body (and mood) needs most. Sometimes you want to melt like butter, sometimes you want to feel lengthened and light. 💫

So tell me — if you could get on the table today, would you pick maintenance, injury recovery, or pure relaxation? And are you team stone, bamboo, or cupping? 🪵🔥💨

✨ Massage Monday: The Truth About My Table ✨

Every single week, I hear the same worries:
• “Oh my gosh, I didn’t shave my legs or my armpits!”
• “I wore sandals, my feet are dirty.”
• “It’s hot out—I’m sweaty.”
• “I feel self-conscious about my body.”
• “I’ve got acne, a hairy back, or my belly hangs out weird when I lay down.”

Guess what? NONE of that matters here. 💛

Massage is a judge-free zone. I’m probably rocking leggings, barefoot, maybe a little dirt on my own feet (don’t worry, I wash before I step on you 😅). I don’t shave for anyone. I don’t care if you didn’t shower right before (in fact, showering after is better!). You’re not here to impress me—you’re here to relax.

On the table, we’re all the same. I’ve got my jelly roll, my thighs have never had a gap (thankfully, otherwise I’d have dropped my phone in the toilet by now 🤷‍♀️), and yes, the b**b fat spills over just like everyone else’s. We are real. We are raw. We might not be in the same boat, but we’re definitely floating down the same river—sometimes with no paddle, a random chicken onboard, and kids still crying.

That’s why I love this work. The table is where the chaos stops. You can breathe. You can let go. You can just BE.

Also—confession—I don’t play spa music anymore. About a year ago I switched to Taylor Swift (yes, really). 🎶 If you want something different, just say so, otherwise you’ll probably get “Shake It Off” somewhere in your session.

So please—don’t worry about the armpit sweat, the body hair, or the extra pounds. Lay down, relax, make sure you can breathe through the face hole, and let’s get you feeling better. That’s the only thing that matters here.

💆‍♀️✨ Judge-free, real, raw, and healing.
