True Healing Massage & Wellness

Good morning! ☀️ I have exciting news to share…. my home studio is ready!! 🙌

I am grateful for the Lord’s provision and for my husband’s labor and expertise as well as the outstanding chiropractors at Renewed Hope Chiropractic for allotting a space I used during this remodel.

Medical Massage and Myofascial Release are the two therapies that I believe are my gift that I have been and am able to bless others with, even if it’s just on occasion for this season. Can you believe it’s been 16 years now?! Some of you have been with me since then! I began providing your standard therapeutic massage and working for/with someone else for the first 2 years. After that I started my own business and shortly after that I hired one therapist followed by a second.

I was trained in numerous different spa therapies and received introductory training in many other advanced therapies before finding my speciality in medical massage, holistic wellness care and mobilization therapies for clients, and Myofascial Release. (I’m on my last level of Reflexology training and certification if you haven’t heard 🤓…always learning!)

I had up to 4 or 5 therapists working with me in my second larger clinic space for a while and it was a blessing to grow as a group. But I finally down-sized after being a multi-therapist clinic from 2014-2023 to just me working on my own again and at home this time. I began homeschooling my beautiful children in fall 2023. Truly a journey…there is a season for everything and God has taught me many lessons from things I’ve done wrong, things I could’ve done better, and things I did well.

It has been wonderful discipling my children in the Word and in academics. 💝 Although many of you were heartbroken when I closed, you were continually supportive!! 💕
I’ve tried to control my own path at times and I’ve learned to lean into the Lord leading me through His Word. While my main priority is my faith and my family, I am truly blessed that God has provided a space for me to still bless some of you as I am able around my family’s needs. Healing is multilayered, and whether I can or cannot get you in, I am praying for you and am grateful for you.
May the Lord bless you! 🙏🏼💕

This was a great article from one of our wellness supplement companies! Gut health is very important. 💕

“It hasn't been understood by most people just how vital our gut health is to our heart health.
But in truth, it's key. If our gut health is good, and our digestive tract working properly, the risk of poor heart health is much lower.
If our gut is in poor condition, however (heart burn or acid reflux often, bloating, pains, regular diarrhea, or worse), then this will, over time, lead to poor heart health.

But gut health among Americans has diminished drastically in recent times, worsening every year mainly due to our processed foods and sugars, and the 50x increase in toxins in our environment in the last 7 decades.

Now, younger and younger people every year are experiencing increasing gut issues which were rare even in older individuals in earlier generations.

And, along with them, they're experiencing more cardiovascular issues.”

☀️ Hello everyone!! It has been too long since my last post. We have been working hard on remodeling my massage and MFR+ treatment room in our home studio 🤩. Priming and painting are underway after my wonderful handyman husband built the room from bare bones!! 💕

Check out these awesome new additions to my Rowe Casa products! I am in love with these natural hair products and I cannot tell you how much I enjoy using the mousse. The hair spritz has been a favorite for many customers because it helps with regrowth and thickness. Toxin free living begins with one product at a time. Reducing the toxins we are exposed to truly helps our bodies heal and detox easier. 💕 🌱

Remember you can request specific products for me to order each quarter when I restock. April-June is the next time I will restock.

Blessings!! 🙏🏼

💡 🧐 Are you familiar with your psoas muscle? It’s a very important muscle and is often called the “seat of emotion” because it is greatly affected by stress and many other emotions. It tends to be a common problem for a great majority of my clients and is often released most successfully using Myofascial Release Techniques in my experience. ✋🏼🤚🏼

This muscle 💪 is probably one of the most important postural and structural muscles 🩻 for numerous reasons. 👇

* It connects the upper half 👚of the body to the lower half 👖of the body.
* It lies on either side of the sacrum and is therefore part of our center of gravity, which means…
*It is key in controlling big movements of
the body. 💃🏻🕺🏽
* Related to the strength of the spine. 🧍🏽
* Can create a strong lordosis (accentuated lumbar curve).
* Often gets related to back pain. 😣
* The epitome of “core” muscles. 💪
* The area that it lies in is also related to emotion – gut instincts – butterflies in our stomach. 🦋

It lies quite deep in the torso making it one of the deepest muscles of the abdomen. Many postural stretches I show my clients can release it, but it requires more of a slow, continuous and gentle release, often needing manual therapy. Don’t forget to massage this important muscle and stretch it regularly. 💕💆‍♀️

Eczema tips for your hands from our go-to eczema expert Dr. Temple. These are quite helpful this time of year. 👇

“Let’s talk about hand eczema - because this is one of the most painful, frustrating places for flares.

Cracks.
Oozing.
Bleeding.

That burning sting every time water, soap, or sanitizer touches the skin.
If this is you (or your child), here’s what we need to understand:

🫴 Hands don’t heal the same way the rest of the body does.
🫴 They’re constantly exposed, washed, rubbed, and re-injured.

That means we need a very intentional topical strategy while we heal eczema from within.

Here’s the exact hand protocol I recommend to calm itching, reduce infection risk, and give the skin a chance to repair.

Step 1: Active skin repair (daily, even during flares)
Start with hypochlorous acid spray.

This helps:
Reduce Staph aureus colonization
Lower skin pH (eczema-prone skin runs too alkaline)
Calm inflammation without burning damaged skin
Spray it on clean hands and let it fully dry.

Step 2: Restore + protect the barrier
Once the spray dries, apply Pink Rescue Cream.

With Vitamin B12, St. John’s Wort and heaps of other soothing ingredients, this formula supports healing. It helps:
Decrease staph colonization
Reduce inflammation
Deeply moisturize cracked skin
Support barrier repair
Step 3: Seal it in (this part matters more than you think)

Hands won’t heal if we leave them exposed.
After applying the cream:
Put on organic cotton gloves
And for severe flares:

– Wet one pair of gloves
– Put them on
– Layer a dry pair over the top

This “wet wrap” technique drives moisture into the skin, reduces itching and cracking and gives the barrier a protected healing window.

👉 Here’s the gloves I always recommend (other organic cotton gloves work too).

One important reminder..
Topicals help manage symptoms, but they don’t fix the root cause.

If hand eczema keeps returning, it’s often a sign of:
Ongoing inflammation
Gut imbalance
Nutrient deficiencies
Immune system overload
That’s why we always pair topical care with internal healing.
But for relief right now - this protocol gives the skin a fighting chance.

With care,
Dr. Ana-Maria Temple”

❄️ ⛄️ WINTER TIPS! ❄️ 🥶
Hydration is important as I remind all of my clients after each session. But winter… the dry air, dry skin, cold environment, more sicknesses, and less fresh air makes it more important to hydrate.

I’m sharing a photo of some wellness products we use throughout the winter, missing the RC elderberry which is in the fridge! I have the Rowe Casa (RC) Organics products in my massage studio for clients to purchase.

Here are some other great wellness tips from one of our favorite holistic doctors, who specializes in skin health! 👇

“The middle of winter tends to push sensitive kids a little harder. I see more eczema flares, more illness, and more worn-down parents. But this is also when small shifts can make a big difference.

Here are the 7 habits I lean on the most with families right now:

1. Feed the gut well. It powers over 70% of the immune system. Whole foods, probiotics, and less sugar go a long way in calming inflammation from within.

2. Protect rest. Late nights and busy days wear down the skin and immune system. Gentle routines and consistent sleep help reset both.

3. Keep skin covered, but hydrated. Frequent handwashing? Important. But dry skin needs support. A fragrance-free moisturizer can make a real difference post-wash.

4. Hydrate. Even in winter, hydration fuels digestion, detox, and healing. Warm teas, broths, or fruit-infused water all count.

5. Fill the gaps with targeted support. I trust Vitamin C, Vitamin D3 + K2, zinc, and elderberry for winter immunity and skin health, especially when kids are feeling run down.

6. Support emotional balance. Stress and overstimulation can show up on the skin and in the immune system. Quiet moments, gentle movement, and connection help keep things steady.

7. Lower the daily toxic load. Fragrances, processed snacks, and indoor pollutants can stress the system. Small swaps, like clean snacks or unscented laundry detergent, can ease the burden.
You don’t need to do it all, and you definitely don’t need to do it perfectly. Steady consistency really is enough.”

Wishing you steadier days and stronger systems,

We are grateful to see some improvements in the new food pyramid and guidelines that was just set. Most of our grains are not like they used to be. Getting Whole Foods, protein, and plenty of vegetables (especially leafy greens) should be our first priority. 💕

Pain and inflammation often begin in your gut. As I work to aid the healing of muscles and fascia for clients, they do themselves a wonderful service by focusing on their gut health. 🙏🏼

Fascia…. What is it?
I often get asked this question as a Myofascial Release Therapist.
It is connective tissue like a web covering the entire body. Its health affects muscles, bones, organs, nerves, mobility, so many things.

I have been blessed to have been trained in this therapy a few years ago, and it has changed my life and the lives of some of my clients.
Yesterday, I was privileged to treat a client with severe pain and limited mobility amongst many symptoms that specialist after specialist has not been able to figure out. During my treatment, healing crisis and unwinding occurred, which can be painful as the body begins to let go and heal. But the relief and lightness afterwards was rewarding for her. I am so thankful God has guided me and allowed me to help others in this way. To God be the glory.

Check out the images for more details about what fascia is. 🙏🏼 💆‍♀️

A product I discovered a few years ago! And one that has so many benefits!
Two sizes of Castor Oil available at my massage studio.

Here are three different approaches to using castor oil.

Topical Uses:
Apply castor oil to the skin to help treat acne, eczema, and psoriasis. It is excellent for treating dry, cracked skin conditions.

Internal Uses:
Castor oil can be used as a laxative to help relieve constipation.
Castor oil can help support liver function through aiding detoxification and improving the flow of bile.

Other Applications:
Castor oil packs are made by soaking a cloth in castor oil and applying it to the skin. These are used to relieve pain, ease cramping, promote digestion, and improve circulation.
Castor oil enemas are another method for easing constipation and cleansing the colon.
