oh my goshhhh yall this one is so good. A little larger than our core candles, THE LOVERS is a juicy blend of red currant and rose, with notes of vanilla and peppercorn over a base of sandalwood and a whisper of cardamom. Rosebuds and peppercorns dot the surface of this soy wax candle.
A perfect Valentine's Day gift for yourself or a loved one, available now in the studio.
Pair it with a Foster PR Gift Card and make it a day they'll never forget.
Hit me up to reserve yours. xoxo

Upcoming Changes!

Hello and Happy New Year!

If you've been in during the past few years you know I've been slowly growing another side to my little business. In addition to the highest quality therapeutic massage around, I've been coaching clients in movement, strength and nutrition habits in an effort to better help every body feel and move better in the body they are in!

Over the past 6 years I've accumulated education from Precision Nutrition, leaders in evidence based, non toxic, habit focused nutrition coaching. I've also studied under ISSA (International Sports Sciences Association) with focuses on personal training, bodybuilding, injury prevention and rehab exercise and more.

I'm excited to announce a rebrand of my business to better reflect the combination of services I now provide, and wanted to give you the heads up of these changes!

This week I will migrate all bookings, blogs, social media, and communications to

Foster Performance and Recovery

If you have standing appointments coming up you will see some additional reminders. I apologize for any annoyance this causes, and I'll do my best to keep everything as minimal as I can. Additionally, I'll redirect the Apotheca website to fosterperformancerecovery.com (http://www.fosterperformancerecovery.com) for a while, so you don't get lost!

As always please reach out if you have questions, concerns, or need clarification. And keep your eyes peeled for info on what's on offer here, from massage to strength and conditioning, to nutrition and beyond!

Thanks again for your amazing support over the years, particularly after closing Bodhi Tree due to the Covid 19 pandemic. Doing what I love, with amazing clients like you, and getting to support my family through these last few years is a gift I don't take for granted.

Many New Years Blessings to You and Yours!

I posted this as a response to someone looking for advice regarding their newly out non binary teen.
I thought it might be helpful info for anyone else who binds or has a kid or loved one who binds.

If yall have any questions or anything to add, please add comments!

“Side note from a massage therapist/personal trainer who works a lot with trans folx in general as well as pre and post top surgeries.
(My eldest kiddo is non binary, and we both bind actually but this advice is more from my professional experience)

Along with finding the most appropriate binding option for your kid, and not using one too tight or for too long, it’s worth looking into things like strength building and mobility work to keep the muscles and connective tissue of the torso healthy long term.

Finding a good binder alone can help prevent some of the issues I see in my office, bc people aren’t as likely to crunch, shrink and cave their chests to hide their bust if they have a good binder but STILL. I have found a lot of success with my clients if they spend time 1-building strength in the upper back and shoulders 2-opening/stretching their chest muscles, 3-go for brisk, tall, arm swinging walks regularly.

Those descriptors/key words should get you some advice online but thing “rows” “overhead press” pushups/pullups, “heart opening” yoga, etc.”
