I just had a short and sweet visit with my family in NY, highlighted by time spent with the youngest and the oldest members
I couldn’t help but reflect on my recent polarity studies in the quiet moments throughout the week
Masculine, feminine
Yang, yin
Dawn, dusk
Parent, child
Resting, engaging
Sound, silence
To get a sense of balance, both poles are present, and the whole range between the poles is acknowledged. Each pole allows space for its opposite, and a harmonious rhythm gets to happen. It’s the most natural process ⚖️
I have a greater appreciation for polarity work after seeing my 87 year old grandpa hold my 4 month old nephew. I noticed a pure quality that got to exist when the two poles got to be acquainted
Sooooo I’m convinced that polarity keeps the world turning and it’s fabulous 🌎🌍🌏 WOW I love opposites

You don’t have to tolerate.
You can ask for what you would like.
You can tell your therapist what you prefer.
During your massage, maybe you don’t “need” a blanket, but you feel a little chilly, and you’d really like to have one. You can ask for one.
Maybe you can survive the massage with the current volume of the music, but you’ll feel 10% more at ease if the volume was turned down a couple notches. You can ask for that.
Maybe you’re okay with chit chatting with your therapist for the first few minutes, but you really want to zone out for the rest of your time. You can make that request.
You can request for something to change.
You can ask for what you need.
You can honor your preferences.
You don’t have to tolerate.

I am enthralled by this new book I’m reading! I heard of the author on ‘s podcast, and she’s a fabulous storyteller. She writes about the realness of her long distance long term relationship with a man across the ocean. She weaves in wisdom from her friends and people you might recognize, like .holistic.psychologist and
Last night I saw on the page, and my heart fluttered 🦋 (Nate Berkus was one of my first big crushes. Still is.)
Nate lost his partner in the Indian Ocean tsunami while on vacation in Indonesia in 2004.
His answers hit me in the feels. The complexity and the simplicity of grief, honoring your past relationships, and moving forward in life with support. Swipe to read his words 🩵

We live in a society where it’s normal to check out and go through the motions.
I’m grateful to be in a profession where each moment is an opportunity to check in.
It’s the chance to feel your breath, observe what’s going on within your body, and notice what it’s like to be you moment to moment.
OOOOH I LOVE MY JOB AND ALL THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE/HAVE MADE IT POSSIBLE!
So incredibly appreciative 🫶🫶🫶

24 of us were shoe-less and sandy all last week, turning up the dial up on our strength and patience, letting go of things we no longer needed, and letting in boat loads of self love and community, with and as our amazing yoga shepherds who never missed a beat
Nature reflected our inner experience the whole time. From the rain, wind, cloud cover, strong choppy waters, to the beaming sun rays and calmer tides. We saw newborn turtles make their way from the beach to the water. The metaphors were everywhere 🥲
I came into the week feeling exhausted, heartbroken, scared of the unknown. I returned home feeling nourished, hopeful, spacious, and more capable
Thank you Universe, thank you everyone at , thank you higher selves for guiding us to join together and experience this glorious container in the most beautiful setting
All hail !!

Wrapped up my second BCST/PT training week up in Boulder last week ⛰️
The BCST/PT combo is a trip without the drugs. You rest on the table either face up or on your side. It’s about slowing all the way down. Turning off the music. Embracing the quiet. Feeling safe. Listening. Staying curious. Being. Noticing what you notice.
While in session or afterwards…
Perhaps you’re able to breathe more fully and you feel more settled. Perhaps you experience more presence with your pain, and your awareness around it starts to soften and transform. Perhaps you pick up on a new perspective about navigating something challenging going on in your life. Perhaps you make contact with parts of yourself that you haven’t made contact with in a while. Perhaps you drift asleep.
Without having an agenda while feeling safe with support, your system gets permission to do whatever it needs to do on a physical, mental, emotional, or ethereal level to help you come home to yourself.
We all have this great intelligence within us and around us.
That great intelligence helps your bones heal after fracture, your skin heal after paper cut, and your heart heal after loss.
I’M OBSESSED TO THE MAX so let me know if you ever want to give it a try as I practice for free over the next two years! DM or send me an email with “BCST practice” in the subject. I’ll tell you more about it 🙏🏻

I’m reading The Wild Edge of Sorrow by the amazingly poetic Francis Weller. It’s been on my shelf for years after I heard him being interviewed on the Mark Groves Podcast. Turns out, it was a suggested reading for a retreat I am attending this weekend with called the Anatomy of Trauma. Woo!
This part on the first page of chapter 3 blew me away. It got me thinking about how I flip flopped between experiencing anxiety and depression for many years, for weeks and months at a time. While they were medical diagnoses I was being treated for, I’m now seeing how much I was pushing down grief in my teens and 20s, and how that suppression manifested as on-going symptoms that affected every aspect of my days and nights.
It was not only having grief over losing loved ones - the grief was layered.
In the book, Francis goes over the 5 gates of grief. Golly, in my teens and 20s, I was really feeling gates 2-5 without having the language or awareness about them.
When I started taking better care of my health in my late 20s, there was more space to process my random sorrows and digest life in real time. The all-consuming nature of the anxiety and depression have lifted over time.
Of course there are still cloudy days and gloomy nights. We are imperfect humans having a complex experience, feeling all the things all the time, especially for highly sensitive people 🙋♀️
If we learn more about all the different kinds of grief and do our best to process life as we go with what we have available, I think we can feel a bit more at home in our minds and our spirit. We have the power to live with more softness, more compassion, more patience, and more grace at any time.
Being with the breath is a wonderful place to start with the “processing life” part of it. Inhaling and exhaling, noticing what arises and what melts away. Staying curious. Paying attention to your body.
This book is a beautiful companion, and Francis Weller is a beautiful guide on this topic. Highly highly highly recommend 📚

🧴 My tried and true since 2017🧴
👐🏽Attention bodyworkers: This massage cream has the consistent glide of oil but has the light feel of lotion. I flow between ashiatsu and hands-on, so I can do my work with ease
💆♀️Attention clients: You leave with your skin feeling fresh and hydrated, not greasy and slippy
It’s such a bonus to not feel the need to hose down as soon as humanly possible after your massage
thank you for your service, and I recommend it to all bodyworkers 🫡

Hi! I’m Courtney. Welcome to my crib 🏡
Jk this is my professional office. But I do live here in the daylight Monday-Friday!
If any of you are looking for a new career in the healing arts, my friend, do I have a recommendation for you!
Massage therapy is one of the best professions out there.
It has given me so much. I entered the field at a time in my life where I couldn’t get my anxiety/depression under control. I was out of touch with my body. There was so much about my life at that time that wasn’t aligned with my truth. I felt lost. Massage therapy was a guiding light.
As grateful as I am for what it has done for me, I’m grateful for what it can do for other people, too.
Sure, massage relieves tension and pain in the body. But this work can also be incredibly soothing for the nervous system. This work can be emotionally vulnerable and brave. This work can support you as you heal. This work can help you connect back to your true nature so you can authentically show up for life.
There will ALWAYS be a place for therapeutic touch, human connection, and healing. The job security is amazing.
To sum it up…I LOVE MASSAGE THERAPY! I love that my business continues to evolve as I evolve! I love my clients! I love meaning and purpose! I love the unfolding of life! Touch is the best!
💛🧡🩵 I will be accepting new clients again in January 2025. To get on my waitlist, email hello@recentertherapeuticmassage.com with “new client” in the subject line, and you’ll be the first to know when I start accepting new clients again in the new year.

Hi, I’m Courtney Greth, licensed massage therapist and owner of Recenter Therapeutic Massage.
I have had my fair share of injuries and bouts of chronic pain - from a knee injury in high school to inflammation in my shoulders to nagging sciatic nerve pain. I have also experienced several times of high stress and anxiety that warranted seeking therapy, taking medication, and learning all the self care techniques to keep up with my mental health. I understand how debilitating it can be to be in pain physically, mentally, and emotionally (sometimes all at once!).
Massage has been the one constant tool in my life that brings me back to myself. Whether I’m feeling like my normal happy self or if I’m experiencing a time where I feel out of sorts, receiving regular massage always gets me settled back in my body and connected to my best self. To be able to achieve that blissful feeling that lasts for days is such a profound experience, and I’m on a mission to share it with others who are in pain and stressed out. You are my people!
Growing up in upstate New York, my family members always said I had “the touch” while giving shoulder rubs around the dinner table. Earning my Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training at Springfield College was the perfect way to explore my hands-on skills. I established the foundation of learning about the human body, the physiological healing process, and how to effectively treat athletic and overuse injuries.
I felt the pull to expand my clinical skills (and embrace my crunchy granola side), so I moved west and landed in Denver in 2016 to attend Healing Spirits Massage Training Program in Boulder. During my time there, I learned about and experienced first-hand the evident connection of the mind and body. Since then, I have delivered hundreds of therapeutic sessions that combine my extensive clinical skills and my intuitive style that leave my clients feeling connected and refreshed.
If you know me, you know that ashiatsu massage is my bread and butter. I trained in this barefoot massage style shortly after becoming a licensed massage therapist in Colorado.
As a live music fanatic and lover of travel, when I’m not in the office you can find me soaking up the magic of Red Rocks or exploring this amazing world of ours. I love to swap Spotify playlists and hear about your favorite travel spots!
I am honored to be here to share my gifts and serve this beautiful community of Denver. Thank you for being here and showing up for yourself. Let’s give it up for consistent, much deserved self care!
