This weekend, Aug 8-10, the studio will be closed.
After four full weeks of holding space every day, it’s my turn to pause and replenish.
Rest is not absence - it’s regeneration.
It isn’t a luxury. Pausing heals. Sometimes, stopping is sacred.

Thank you for understanding.
See you next week, with steady hands and renewed presence.

Apparently, that’s been felt.

“After a rotator cuff injury, timing—and consistency—matter.”

In this podcast clip, I answer one of the most common questions I hear: How often should I come in for massage after a shoulder injury?

The short answer?
Not too soon—and not too scattered.

Once you're past the acute phase, regular massage (usually every 1–2 weeks) can help reduce compensatory tension, improve mobility, and support long-term healing.

The goal isn’t just pain relief—it’s helping your body move better for good.

“At its core, massage therapy is about relieving pain—plain and simple.”

In this clip from my recent podcast interview, I talk about what really drives my work as a massage therapist. It’s not about luxury—it’s about helping people finally feel better in their own bodies.

Because when pain lets go, everything else gets a little easier.

“Not every injury is ready for massage—especially in the early stages.”

In this clip, I explain why timing matters when it comes to rotator cuff injuries (and really any soft tissue damage). Massage can do wonders—but only when your body is ready for it.

👉 The truth?

Massage is not appropriate during stages 1 and 2 of soft tissue healing. It’s best introduced in stages 3 and 4—when the body is moving from inflammation to recovery.

Knowing when not to treat is just as important as knowing how.

To every mom who gives more than she has…

Who shows up, holds it all together, and still finds a way to keep going—
This one’s for you.

Your body holds so much.
Stress, love, fatigue, care, worry, joy.
You carry it all—sometimes too quietly.

Massage therapy is more than a moment of rest.
It’s a way to come home to yourself.
To let someone else hold space for you.

💐 This Mother’s Day, I see you.

And if you—or someone you love—needs a reset, I’m here.

“Your body remembers pain—and it adapts, even when the injury is long gone.”

In this podcast clip, I talk about how injuries create new movement patterns—compensations that your body develops to protect itself.

The problem?

Those patterns often stick around long after the injury has healed, leading to chronic tension, misalignment, and new pain in unexpected places.

Massage therapy helps identify and interrupt those old patterns—so you can move the way your body was meant to again.

Back pain can take a major toll on your daily life, whether it's from long hours at a desk, lifting heavy objects, poor posture, or stress.

The good news is, massage therapy is one of the most effective, natural ways to find relief!

Massage techniques like deep tissue, trigger point therapy, and myofascial release target the muscles, fascia, and soft tissues of your back to reduce inflammation, ease muscle tension, and improve circulation.

By focusing on the root causes of your pain, I can help you restore mobility and comfort, allowing you to move freely without the constant ache.

Not only does massage provide relief for chronic back pain, but it also helps prevent future discomfort by improving posture and muscle balance.

If you're struggling with tightness, spasms, or stiffness, a regular massage can make all the difference in managing and relieving pain.

Let’s work together to ease your back pain and get you back to living your best life—without the pain!

Ready to tackle that back pain? Book your session today and experience the difference!
