OK. I gave first dips to all those who were cancelled during the last two months. Now the self scheduler is open for business!! (with built-in spacers) HAVE AT IT!!!

I will:
-Cleanse all the things.
-Text you a self assessment form you can fill out and submit right from your tiny phone the morning of your massage.
-Take your temperature with my new toy when you get here.
-Do all the things you shall be doing.

You shall:
-Wear your mask.
-Wash your hands.
-Don't touch your face.
-Keep your mitts to yourself in my office.
-Relax.
-Enjoy.

It's just that simple.
Situation Normal...

Well, I received a massage last week, and wore my mask while I was face up and face down. It really wasn't that bad. I had ZERO trouble relaxing!!! And boy do I feel better now!

In my office I'm giving clients the choice of trying a face drape that feels looser, but gives total coverage. So far clients are appreciating it. (I'm wearing my regular cloth mask throughout, and have yet to pass out. 😆) It's all good.

I don’t know about you, but I could sure use a massage!!

Once the medical board gives massage the go-ahead, we will still probably ease back into it. There is no social distance to a massage, but at least it is only one person at a time in the office, so I can disinfect all the touchable surfaces between clients. We can still both wash our hands before and after the massage. We can (get your head around it now) still wear our masks before, during and after the session. I will still disinfect my hands during the massage, only now I will do so a few times rather than only before I (used to) massage your face. Now I can’t even imagine giving the same facial massage. We’ll work on that because jaws still clench and brows still furrow and I’m still stubborn to help you feel better.

I miss my fabulous clients and my beautiful office. We’ll get there. We’ll figure it out. We always do.

There. Is that better? It certainly is comfy. My pal LauraLee Kavanagh makes them if you don't have one yet.

Adapt and adjust! My face cradle covers aren’t getting enough face time these days. (See what I did there?) Check it out. They’re perfectly shaped for our new cultural fashion accessory, don’t you think?!

Feel free to hold your phone up to your face. Check out how many pounds of pressure that pumpkin puts on your upper back muscles. At least, take a counter posture & check out the ceiling while you grab a shoulder blade squeeze. Or just call me to schedule a massage... ;-)

Get the powerful benefits of having stronger, healthier head posture in just minutes a day.

Did you know it is National Bubble Bath Day? Neither did I, but I am completely inspired to participate. Here's a How-To video if you don't already have a bath bomb you've received as a gift. I'm lucky to have one ready. Happy Bubbles!!!

The recipe for bath bombs is pretty simple. A little baking soda, a dash of citric acid, a few spritzes of witch hazel – that’s all you need for a good bath ...

Remember to Breathe...

Oh, the holidays (daze) are upon us!!! So much fun and food and friends and family - a truly magical time of year with crisp, sunny days and beautiful decorations. But sometimes it can be a bit of a stimulus overload. All the shopping and planning, trying to find parking, passive aggressive relatives, relentless gray days. UGH! It’s enough to make you want to pull the covers over your head until January.

WOAH, Nelly! Let’s rewind to when it was still magical. If you’ve ever considered the notion that your mood is your choice, now’s a good time to recall that. If this is a new concept for you, hear me now and believe me later. It’s true.

The only things we actually have control over are our actions and our reactions. All the rest of it is out of our control, so let it go with a big ole deep breath and a really loud sigh. If folks are snipping and snapping, mentally put yourself in their shoes for a moment & see from their perspective. (Own it if you caused it.) Most crazy outbursts are fear driven in some fashion. Once the smoke clears, try this thought, “meh, no harm no foul.” And keep moving. We are each doing the very best we know how at this moment, and we’re all in a different place along the road. Allow for the differences.

In the thick of it, delegate what you can. Those you spoil are way more capable than they think they are. Say no to some of it. The world will keep turning. Choose to enjoy the process of every task, every visit, every detour. Actively look for some serendipity. And if you need to, stop a minute, close your eyes, take a few breaths. Take each big deep to the belly inhale and on the exhale think these thoughts with the emphasis on BEEEEEEE…

(inhale) BE calm.

(inhale) BE quiet.

(inhale) BE still.

(inhale) BE kind.

Some situations and people are easier than others, so keep practicing. Never mind trying to. Just be. And let it go.

Thank you for being wonderful.
