Hope everyone had a wonderful and joy-filled holiday season! 🎄✨

Don’t let holiday stress keep you too tense as we head into the New Year. A little intentional body care can go a long way toward feeling your best again.

Here’s to moving into the next season feeling lighter, looser, and ready for what’s ahead 💆‍♀️✨

🌿 Good News! 🌿🦵✨

First, I want to thank everyone for your patience and kindness while I’ve been healing from my fibula fracture. The support and understanding I’ve received from my clients and community have meant so much to me during this unexpected downtime.

I’m happy to share that I’ll be easing back into taking appointments soon! I’ll be starting with limited hours as I continue to regain strength, with plans to gradually return to my full schedule in the coming weeks.

This whole experience has given me an even deeper appreciation for what our bodies go through to heal — and I’m coming back with fresh perspective (and lots of excitement!) to help others feel their best again.💆‍♀️

I can’t wait to be back in the office, reconnecting, and getting back to the work I love. Thank you all again for your patience and encouragement — it truly means everything! 💚

🌿 Important Update 🌿

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a life update🩼—due to an ankle fracture, I’ll be taking some time away from the office to focus on healing. I’m incredibly grateful for the steady, supportive clientele I’ve built in Bruceton Mills, and I’m highly motivated to heal quickly so I can get back to helping you as soon as possible. It’s not easy for me to step back knowing I won’t be around to help you for the foreseeable future, and I truly apologize for any inconvenience this may cause

If you are currently scheduled out with me, someone from the office will be reaching out shortly to talk about rescheduling options. You are also more than welcome to reach out to me here or via email with any questions or concerns you may have.

I can’t wait to be back on my feet (literally!) and helping you feel your best again as soon as possible. Thank you for your continued support—it means the world while I rest and recover. 💚

✨As many of you know, a few weeks ago I took a certification course through The International Cupping Therapy Association (ICTA). I am happy to finally announce the addition of several cupping specific services to my menu at Bruceton Wellness Center. For anyone unfamiliar with cupping therapy, it works by using gentle suction to lift and decompress tissue—rather than push it down like traditional massage. This negative pressure helps release tight muscles, loosen adhesions, improve joint mobility, and boost circulation of blood and lymph. The result? Faster relief from aches, reduced stiffness, detoxification of stagnant fluids, and an overall refresh for your body inside and out. This treatment can be particularly helpful for conditions like plantar fasciitis, migraines, post surgical lymphatic drainage and in improving scar tissue mobility.

⏰New services will include⏰:

🌿~Localized Cupping 45min/75min
Targeted relief for sore spots, tight muscles, scar tissue, and stubborn knots with focused suction therapy.

🌿~Abdominal Cupping 30min
Gentle suction to support digestion, relieve bloating, and ease tension in the core.

🌿~Facial Rejuvenation Cupping 45min
Boosts circulation, reduces puffiness as well as fine lines and wrinkles, and promotes toned, radiant skin naturally.

🌿~Negative Pressure Lymphatic Drainage 60min
Encourages detoxification, reduces swelling, and supports immune health by gently stimulating lymph flow.

💡Muscle Spotlight: The Piriformis!💡

One of the most common complaints people come to me with is a tightness in one or both hips and a radiating pain shooting down their corresponding leg. In many of these cases, the culprit is our star of the day: The Piriformis! 🦵

💫The piriformis is part of an important group of muscles called “The deep 6” which is a group of external hip rotators located deep to the glutes or buttock region. It is a small flat muscle, running from the front of the sacrum to the top of the femur.
• Function: Primarily responsible for externally rotating the hip (turning the leg outward) and stabilizing the hip joint.

• Common Issues: ~Piriformis syndrome~ The sciatic nerve passes underneath or, in some cases, through the piriformis muscle. Tightness or irritation of the piriformis can compress the sciatic nerve, leading to pain, tingling, or numbness, symptoms similar to sciatica.

• Contributing Factors to Dysfunction: Prolonged sitting, improper posture, overuse in activities like running, cycling, or climbing stairs, or direct trauma to the area.

• Stretching & Strengthening: Exercises targeting the piriformis can help relieve tension and reduce the risk of nerve compression. Common stretches include the seated piriformis stretch and the pigeon pose. Deep tissue massage has been shown to reduce muscle tension and symptoms of dysfunction.
