🍃✨ Back in the massage nest ✨🍃

After a wild, soul-filling summer of traveling, healing, sweating (a lot), and so much deep tissue work on the road… I’m officially back in-house at Relax Naturally and ready to get your body feeling brand new again. 🙌🏼💆‍♀️

☀️ End of Summer Specials (before I head to Texas one last time!)
📍 Now through August 12:
💸 $80 one-hour massages (normally $100!)
📍 Book ahead for post-Texas (after August 18):
💖 Get $15 off your regular 1-hour session
📍 New Deal! Book TWO 90-minute sessions and get $15 off both!

🛫 I’ll be in Texas from August 12–18 for one final summer adventure — and I just want to say thank you from the bottom of my massage therapist heart for all your love, support, and flexibility this crazy season. 🥹💗

Y’all really showed up for me — and now I’m excited to show up BIG for you as we shift into a season of grounding, rest, and new offerings I know you’re gonna love. 🍂💫

Let’s relax, recharge, and roll into fall feeling better than ever.

📅 Booking is now open — let’s get you on the table, babe.

🌿🧙‍♀️✨ Forest Witch Chronicles: Camp Edition ✨🧙‍♀️🌿

I’ve officially entered my ✨seasonal recalibration ritual✨ …also known as Family Camp at YCamp.
Yes, I’m massaging in the woods, surrounded by children’s laughter, campfire air, and probably at least 14 kinds of bug energy.
But let’s be real… I’m also deep in my yearly forest soul download mode.
You know, where the trees start whispering your name and the water starts offering unsolicited emotional advice. 💧🌲

This is my last big week-long event of the year—
and I can feel every cell of my body calling me back home to myself.
Like:
“Okay babe, we’ve poured our magic out all year—now let’s call it back like a true forest witch with excellent boundaries and hydrated skin.”

I’ve been listening to spiritual music all day,
feet in the dirt, heart cracked open,
feeling the wind say things like “girl, it’s time” and the sun whisper “shed it.”

🌎 This week is about reclaiming my essence.
🌬️ About letting the wind blow away what no longer belongs.
🔥 About igniting what I’ve ignored.
💧About listening to the water, not just drinking it.
🌙 And maybe letting the moon eavesdrop on my journal entries too.

I’m not just working out here—
I’m being worked on.
By Spirit. By Earth. By the sacred quiet in between sessions.
This isn’t a break—this is a rebirthing cave with mosquitoes and mystery.

So if I seem a little floaty when I come back,
just know I’ve been in conversation with the Divine,
and maybe also a raccoon named Gerald who definitely has seen things. 👀✨

🌀 Call it witchcraft, call it self-care, call it my annual soul-soaking sabbatical.
But this week, it’s just me, the elements, and the hum of something ancient asking:
“Are you ready to listen now?”

🖤🔮🌲

We loved seeing all your familiar faces from last year (we didn’t forget you — we just have massage brain 🧠💆‍♂️) and meeting new amazing humans who trusted us with your tired muscles, sore buns, and sunburnt shoulders 🥵🍑☀️

OH—and we made it on the radio 📻🤩 Our voices may be calm and grounding, but our excitement was full volume 🎙️🎉

To the whole RAGBRAI crew, Mr. Porkchop, and every cyclist who stopped by our tables to unwind, THANK YOU from the bottom of our massage-loving hearts 💖💖💖 You guys make us feel like celebrity therapists on tour 😆🌟

We can’t wait to come back next year and do it all again. Until then, keep those wheels spinning and those shoulders loose 🌀🚲💨

✨ 30 was the year I cracked open. 31 will be the year I bloom. ✨

As I say goodbye to 30, I’m in awe of how much I’ve shed, survived, softened, and strengthened. This past year wasn’t just another year older—it was a soul-deep unraveling. I let go of pieces of myself I once clung to for survival. I faced truths that were hard to hold. I dared to rest, to feel, to listen—to my body, my heart, and my purpose.

I traveled to Peru and found parts of my spirit I didn’t know were waiting for me. I slowed down after years of nonstop hustle. I began unlearning patterns that weren’t mine to carry. I honored my pain and allowed my joy to grow beside it. I stepped into my power as a healer, as a woman, as a visionary.

Now, as I step into 31, I don’t need to become someone new. I just want to continue becoming more of who I already am.

🌿 I want to bloom more boldly.
🌸 Love myself more gently.
🌞 Speak more freely.
🕊 Trust life more deeply.
🔥 And follow the fire in my belly when it tells me “this is it.”

This year, I choose aligned living. I choose healing that lasts. I choose real connection, real joy, and a life rooted in truth—not performance.

To everyone who has held space for me, walked beside me, or helped me see myself more clearly—thank you. And to those no longer walking with me, I still bless your part in my story.

Here’s to 31. To blooming at my own pace, on my own terms.

Your Inner Goddess isn’t lost… she’s just waiting for you to come back home to her.
✨Balance. Power. Passion. Intuition. Creativity. Grace.✨

This beautiful image is more than aesthetics—it’s a map of the multidimensional you.
Spiritually, it honors the divine feminine energies we all carry—nurturing, intuitive, powerful, and expressive.
Mentally, it reminds us that alignment isn’t about perfection; it’s about integration.
Emotionally, it speaks to the strength in softness, the clarity in stillness, and the joy in authenticity.
And scientifically? These traits aren’t just poetry—they’re neurobiological realities. Massage therapy, breathwork, and mindful touch activate your parasympathetic nervous system, reducing cortisol and increasing oxytocin—your body’s natural healing chemistry.

At Relax Naturally, I combine the healing power of massage with Spiritual Response Therapy, helping you clear energetic blocks while nurturing the nervous system.
When we release tension, both physically and spiritually, we awaken clarity, courage, and creativity.

Self-care isn’t selfish. It’s a sacred return to self.
Whether you need lymphatic release, emotional reset, or a deep reminder of who you are underneath the stress—you’re always welcome here.

Let’s reconnect with your Inner Goddess
One breath, one session, one release at a time.

Book now. Let’s restore your balance, your power, your peace.
With love,
Shelby – Relax Naturally
Your licensed massage therapist, energy clearer, and sacred space holder ✨

MEN,
have you been feeling foggy, overly emotional, disconnected, or unmotivated lately?
You may be leaning too far into your feminine energy—and no, that’s not a bad thing… it just means your internal balance might need a reset.
⚖️

Feminine energy is powerful—it’s where we access our empathy, creativity, rest, intuition, and softness.
But when it dominates without the stabilizing support of the masculine (structure, action, direction), it can feel like:
• Endless overthinking
• People-pleasing
• Anxiety or indecision
• Burnout from over-nurturing others
• Feeling drained but not knowing why

At Relax Naturally, I offer more than just massage. My sessions are designed to help you:
• Reconnect to your grounded masculine core
• Clear energy imbalances with Spiritual Response Therapy
• Reset your nervous system and restore clarity
• Find inner stillness to fuel your outer action
• Remember your worth doesn’t come from doing—it comes from being in integrity with yourself

Science shows that massage lowers cortisol (stress hormone), increases dopamine (drive), and restores parasympathetic tone—giving your body the realignment it needs to activate focused, healthy masculine energy.

Self-care isn’t feminine. It’s foundational.
You don’t have to carry everything on your own. Come recalibrate your energy and get back to feeling like you again.

With respect and realness,
Shelby – Relax Naturally
Your licensed massage therapist and emotional energy ally

☀️ Summer is here — and so is the season of shorts, swimsuits, and self-love!
But did you know those stubborn dimples (yep, cellulite) aren’t just about fat?

Doctors have found that cellulite is actually linked to myofascial stagnation —
That’s tension, tightness, and stuck energy in your fascia (the web of connective tissue under your skin) 🧠🕸️

Tension that can be released — emotionally, physically, and visibly ✨

Through myofascial release and my signature Body Sculpting Massage, we don’t just work on the surface — we go deep:
• Fascia blaster + wooden tools to break up stuck fascia 🪵
• Red light therapy to boost circulation & collagen ❤️‍🔥
• Cupping therapy to lift, move, and drain stagnation 🌀
• And deeply intuitive massage to help your body let go of what it’s been holding on to — mentally and emotionally

Whether your goal is smoother skin ✨, a toned summer body 🌴, or finally feeling lighter from the inside out —
I’ve got you covered

Book your summer sculpt + soul release now
Spots are melting away like popsicles in the sun! 🍦
(June is already almost full — don’t wait!)

Still soaking it all in…
This weekend I was gifted the breathtaking opportunity to work at an incredible yoga retreat hosted by my dear friend Dara — the heart and soul behind DM Wellness & Yoga ✨🧘‍♀️🌿

And WOW… I don’t even know where to begin.

Not only did I get to offer massages 💆🏼‍♀️ to the most beautiful souls, but for the first time ever, I gave myself full permission to take up space 🌞 — and actually join in.

I stepped into the yoga practices 🧘‍♀️, I breathed deeply 🌬️, I learned about my core, Pilates, grounding 🌳, slow movement, and deep meditation 🧘‍♂️. I moved in a way that connected me back to my body and spirit ❤️

Because of Dara’s nurturing energy 💗 and the safe, welcoming space she created, I felt supported enough to break through my imposter syndrome — and be embraced by a community that felt like home 🏡

The view? Unmatched. A dreamy cabin overlooking a peaceful lake 🛶, trails stretching into the trees 🌲, fresh air dancing with sunshine ☀️ — it was pure magic.

The food? So nourishing 🥗🍓 Even stepped out of my comfort zone with that too — and I’m so proud of myself for it.

But the biggest gift of all?
I accepted myself in a way I thought I already had… but this time, I really did ✨🌺

Dara Madigan, thank you from the depths of my being 🙏🏼
Your invitation opened a new chapter for me — and I can’t wait to keep learning, growing, and grounding through yoga with you 🌀💫

This is just the beginning — and I’m so excited to see where I go from here 🦋

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
My heart is full 🌸
