Fun fact Friday

Your body keeps the score—whether you realize it or not.

That tight jaw? Could be unspoken anger.
The weight in your chest? Grief you never got to release.
A knot in your stomach? Anxiety you’ve been powering through for too long.

Our bodies hold onto stress and unresolved emotions like files we never closed. Over time, those feelings show up as tension, pain, or just that sense that something’s “off.”

Massage helps you let go—not just physically, but emotionally too. You don’t always need to talk about it. Sometimes, you just need a safe space to exhale.

Your body is ready to release what it’s been carrying. Are you?

Ever tried ear candling? 🔥👂

It’s one of those things people either swear by… or have always been a little curious about but never tried.

Ear candling is a gentle, relaxing way to support your body's natural ability to clear wax and relieve that “full” feeling in your ears. Some people say it helps with tension, sinus pressure, or just feeling more balanced.

Now offering it as a $10 add-on to your massage session.
No pressure (well… except the negative pressure from the candle 😉).

If you’ve been curious—this is your sign to try it.
Ask to add it when you book or at your appointment!

You don’t have to do it all. But you do have to do something.

Stress doesn’t just disappear on its own—it builds up in your body, your mind, and your mood.
That’s why it’s so important to have your thing—whatever helps you breathe a little easier.

Maybe it’s yoga.
Maybe it’s walking the dog in silence.
Maybe it’s turning your phone on Do Not Disturb and getting a massage.

You don’t have to earn rest. You just have to recognize when you need it—and then give yourself permission to take it.

Whatever helps you reset, do more of that.

Me, during your massage:
👀 Trying so hard not to get distracted by your tattoos…
Also me: “So uh… what’s the story behind this one on your shoulder blade?”

Look, I’m a professional. But I’m also nosy and curious, and some of y’all have some really cool ink.

So if I accidentally pause mid-stroke because your tattoo caught my eye—no, you didn’t imagine that.
And yes, I wanna hear the story.
Unless it’s personal. Then I’ll just admire it silently😎

Heads up! 👋

I had a spot open up Wednesday morning and it’s just sitting there, waiting for someone who needs it.

If your shoulders are tight, your sleep’s been trash, or your brain just needs a break—this is your sign.

Message me to grab it before it’s gone. 💆‍♀️✨

Struggling with sleep? Massage can help. 😴

If you’re tossing and turning at night, there’s a good chance your nervous system is stuck in overdrive. That’s where massage comes in.

Massage therapy helps calm the body’s stress response and supports deeper, more restful sleep—not just the night of your session, but often for days after.

✨ It lowers cortisol (stress hormone)
✨ Boosts serotonin and melatonin (mood + sleep hormones)
✨ Loosens physical tension so your body can fully relax

Better sleep = better mood, better focus, and fewer aches and pains. If your pillow isn’t doing the trick, your massage therapist just might.

Happy International Day of Friendship 💛

At Barefoot Amanda, we believe healing happens best when we feel seen, supported, and cared for—and isn’t that what true friendship is all about?

Whether it’s a friend who listens without judgment, someone who reminds you to rest, or that person who literally nudges you to book your massage—it all counts.

Take a moment today to appreciate the people who keep your heart steady and your nervous system regulated. Maybe even share a massage with a friend—you both deserve it.

Here’s to the people who make life softer. 💆‍♀️💬💛
