Her style blends deeply relaxing, flowing, smooth strokes with specific, therapeutic pressure to soften tissue and bring relief to chronically tight areas.

In other words, it’s magic. ✨ 🙌🏼 ✨

I went back to Mexico this week, where I was last year to do some focused work with my web design business.

It was amazing to reflect back on the year. I’m proud to have written my first blog in a while: the highs, lows and lessons learned in 2025 during my first year in business as a web designer.

If you run a small business, especially a massage business, you know that there’s really no such thing as a day off, even when you’re taking a day off. And there’s no such thing as PTO, either.

In 2025, I did my best to run TWO small businesses, while maintaining some semblance of an enjoyable life, doing things I love like going to dance class & workshops, performing in a band, hiking, traveling and being the best dog mama I can be.

I’d love for you to read all about it! Link in bio (or by visiting blueskieswebdesigns.com).

PS— if you’re an LMT or other wellness practitioner, reach out if you’re looking for support in the web design realm. :)

Hi friends. 💛 I’ve officially been a web designer for wellness folks for six months, and have so enjoyed building sites for some truly magical practitioners. ✨

What a joy to combine so many of my passions into one big ol’ labor of love.

I’m reaching out here to my circle to ask if you or someone you know needs support in the web design realm, please touch base! I’m currently booking new clients in September & October.

I’ve got lots of info and a whole lotta love poured into my site: www.blueskieswebdesigns.com (link in bio).

Hello friends, fam & colleagues! ☀️

After ten wonderful years of working in the massage therapy field, I’ve shifted my focus slightly: please welcome my new web design business, Blue Skies Web Designs.

My specific niche clientele are wellness practitioners, which includes Licensed Massage Therapists, mental health professionals, and any other related superhero. :)

In October 2024, I started studying with a comprehensive web design business course and have been slowly refining my skills and learning a TON about websites, marketing and all things web design.

I am excited to expand my offerings with web design and LMT support services while retaining my massage practice.

If you or someone you know fits into my specific niche and needs a website, please don’t hesitate to reach out or tag them here! I offer both fully customized websites as well as website upgrades for those that already have a website but could use some polishing and support.

My website is lovingly a work-in-progress (aren’t we all?!) so I welcome your feedback as I grow & expand.

Please visit blueskieswebdesigns.com.

xoxo, Vanessa

Way back in 1999, I met Jenna Wilson Crawley in Tucson, Arizona. We lived in a pink house behind a pizza shop, and we used to drink whiskey on the roof at sunset and recite ee cummings poetry to each other.

Jenna is a force. Her fierce determination to be a damn good human making a positive impact on the world has been a remarkable thing to witness decade after decade. Her laughter is absolutely contagious and her strength is unparalleled.

Like so many in North Carolina, Jenna's family was massively impacted by Hurricane Helene-- but she'll be the first to tell you, they were one of the lucky ones. However, many in her community are facing unimaginable loss and total devastation.

Jenna has worked for many years at the Hospitality House in Boone, NC, where they provide housing, food and mental health services to those in crisis. Their work is needed now more than ever before.

Please consider donating ANY amount to their cause as they celebrate 40 years of service to their community. If you personally cannot donate, please share with others.

Much love, stay safe and take care of each other.

Hospitality House of Northwest N.C.is the regional housing agency and service provider for families and individuals experiencing homelessness - a span of nearly 2,500 square miles - across seven rural counties.
