Renewal Therapeutic Massage and Wellness

For years people have suggested I journal to connect more deeply with my heart and soul and get to know myself better. Journaling was something I struggled with. A few weeks ago that struggle just melted away. I’m not sure why, but I’m embracing it. So, I found a new journal that I love (in spite of the pile of other journals stacked in the corner.). It has prompt questions. Some days I have things on my mind. Other days I use a prompt and just see where it leads me. I would love to share some of these with you and maybe you’d like to join me. Today’s prompt…

ASK YOUR SOUL…
if you could awaken one aspect of your personality you had as a child and feel that you have since lost, what would it be?

Me: Wanderer/Explorer

You: ???

Physical and emotional pain are deeply interconnected, often manifesting in ways that traditional approaches alone may not fully address. This article explores how CranioSacral Therapy can support the body in releasing stored trauma through gentle, intentional somatic work. I’ve experienced the same effect with acupressure as well. Both modalities open pathways for healing by calming the nervous system, improving energetic flow, and creating the conditions for profound inner release.

In my own practice, I’ve had the privilege of holding space for clients as they experience meaningful, sometimes life-changing shifts through these therapies. Their transformations continue to affirm the power of this work.

I found this article especially insightful, and I hope it offers you clarity, hope, and a deeper understanding of what is possible on your healing journey. Enjoy!

Therapy can take many forms, and sometimes, it has nothing to do with clinical counseling. An example is Somato Emotional Release, also known as SER.

It’s that time of year again and this is a post I have shared every year at this time. It’s wonderful to have family and friends visit for the holidays but sometimes it helps to give them something to do while yu get your holiday preparations done. Perhaps their travel has left them with a sore back or a kink in their neck. Send them in for a special treat….or bring them and enjoy the experience of health, wellness and Renewal together. Remember, I am now located in Kingston at the Nourish Collaborative.

I had some unexpected free time today. My first thought was ok, where’s my todo list! What should I be DOING now! What else needs to be on that list. Sound familiar? I haven’t had much free time lately and life has not been flowing as smoothly, easily or joyfully as I would like. So I took a moment to breathe and pull some cards. This one seemed to jump out of the deck landing face up on the floor.

Oh ya! So simple PLAY! I’m forgetting that creativity and play go hand in hand! So today I’m BEING PLAYFUL not DOING and I’ll see what shows up. Thanks for reminder.

This beautiful card by the way is from Karen Paolino-Correia ‘s oracle deck. “Ask your soul…your soul knows”.
