✅ Deciding between massage or Injections?

Injections can offer temporary fixes — and in some cases, they’re medically or cosmetically necessary.

But for deeper, long-term healing, massage therapy does what injections can’t.
• Injections may freeze or fill — but they don’t heal muscle trauma
• Massage gets to the root: tension, restriction, stored trauma
• Your body doesn’t need “more product” — it needs better circulation, mobility, and calm

Massage isn’t anti-aesthetic.
It’s pro-healing.

You can choose both.
But don’t overlook what your hands — and your nervous system — are trying to tell you.

Patient Case: Right Hip Rotation & Elevated Right Shoulder

A client came in feeling misaligned — her right hip felt “stuck forward,” and her right shoulder sat noticeably higher. She described daily discomfort, postural strain, and a sense of being pulled off-center.

Assessment revealed:
🔹 Right anterior pelvic rotation
🔹 Elevated right shoulder with restricted scapular movement
🔹 Tight, overactive QL, glute med, upper trap, and levator scapulae (all on the right side)

Treatment approach:
With just one session of focused deep tissue and trigger point therapy, we targeted:

✨ QL and glute med to decompress the hip
✨ Upper trap, rhomboid, and levator scapulae to release the shoulder
✨ Fascial tension along the entire right lateral chain

Results after one session:
✔️ Pelvis returned closer to neutral
✔️ Right shoulder dropped noticeably
✔️ Client reported feeling “even” and pain-free for the first time in weeks

This is the power of strategic, therapeutic massage — not just relaxation, but real structural change.

What is Cervical Dystonia and how can Massage Help?

Cervical dystonia (also called spasmodic torticollis) is a painful condition where the neck muscles contract on their own, making your head twist, tilt, or even shake.

It can mess with your posture, your confidence, and just your day-to-day comfort.

Unfortunately, There’s no cure, but massage can definitely help.

Here’s how massage supports you:
• Releases tight, overworked neck muscles
• Increases blood flow to reduce pain and stiffness
• Helps with posture and alignment
• Lowers stress and anxiety (which can make symptoms worse)
• Makes it easier to turn your head or hold it up

Each session can be tailored to how you’re feeling that day — no pressure, no rush.

Just support for your body.

Whether you’ve just been diagnosed or you’ve been dealing with it for years, massage can be part of what keeps you going.

🖤 You don’t have to live in constant discomfort.

Let’s work on getting you some relief.

🌿 Most people think CBD salve is just for relaxation… but, this stuff is magic for sore muscles and stiff joints.

You can Rub it into tight shoulders, stiff necks, aching knees, or low backs—and you’ll feel the relief sink in almost instantly.

It’s like your body can finally exhale.

The anti-inflammatory power of CBD goes straight to the source: calming pain, easing deep tension, and helping your muscles actually let go—not just go numb.

Perfect after a long day, a tough workout, or whenever your body’s been carrying too much.

I’ve used this on clients and myself—especially on stubborn areas that don’t fully release with massage alone—and it always makes a difference.

*Faster recovery.
*Deeper relaxation.
*No chemical smell.
*No greasy feel.

Natural. Powerful. And designed for real, lasting relief.

Your body deserves this. 🌿💪

Consistency is Key!

Nothing changes unless you stay consistent.

That goes for healing, strength, pain relief—everything.

You can’t expect one massage to undo months (or years) of stress, trauma, tension, or poor posture.

Just like you wouldn’t hit the gym once and expect abs.

📅 Regular massage =
• Better results
• Less pain over time
• Improved posture & movement
• More emotional release + nervous system reset

✨ Healing is a process, not a one-time event.

When you commit to consistency—bodywork, hydration, movement, sleep—you finally give your body a chance to catch up and reset.

Don’t just get relief… get RESULTS.
Let’s build the habit. Your future self will thank you.

✅ The Cortisol & Collagen Connection — Why Massage Matters?

Did you know high cortisol can actually break down collagen in your body?

That means more stress = less skin elasticity, slower healing, and even joint pain.

✨ Massage naturally lowers cortisol — which gives your body the chance to:
• Rebuild collagen
• Support smoother skin
• Ease inflammation
• Speed up injury recovery

You don’t have to inject what your body is meant to create on its own.

💆‍♀️ Your body is brilliant. Give it the tools to heal itself.

Just like anything in life, if you want real results, you’ve got to stick with it.

Whether it’s day by day or month by month—consistency is key.

So let me ask: Do you have personal health goals?

Are you trying to crush it in the gym, recover from an injury, or just feel better overall?

Maybe you’ve hit a plateau, or maybe you’re not sure what’s actually going to help.

That’s where massage therapy comes in.

Most people think massage is just for relaxation—but did you know it can help your body heal naturally?

It supports recovery, boosts circulation, and may even help release peptides that assist in tissue repair.

When was the last time you got a massage for your body—not just to feel good, but to get better?

Before jumping into more aggressive or invasive treatments, give your body a chance to heal the natural way.

You might avoid setbacks and feel stronger, faster.

Struggling with Shoulder Pain or Limited Rotation?

Your shoulder mobility depends on more than just the joint — it starts with the muscles that stabilize your shoulder blade, especially the serratus anterior.

This key muscle:
• Anchors your scapula to your ribcage
• Helps rotate the shoulder blade upward during arm lifts
• Supports overhead movements and smooth shoulder rotation

When it’s tight, weak, or not firing properly, you may experience:
• Shoulder impingement
• Limited range overhead
• Scapular winging
• Neck or upper back tension

Massage therapy can help by:
• Releasing tension in the serratus anterior, traps, and pec minor
• Improving scapular mobility
• Restoring proper shoulder mechanics
• Reducing pain and improving range of motion

If your shoulders feel restricted or painful, reach out to schedule an appointment and get moving better again.

Today I got to return to my roots—and it’s nervousness and excitement all over again.

Before COVID, I had my own massage office but also traveled to work with clients, including athletes.

I spent 5 years working with Texas Tech Women’s Soccer, which opened the door to more opportunities in sports massage.

When the world shut down, I wasn’t sure if I’d get to step back into that space again.

Fast forward nearly six years—today I had the honor of working with the U.S. Women’s Rugby team during their prep and recovery day ahead of the USA vs. Canada match this weekend.

I’ve been a massage therapist for 23 years, and while I love working with people from all walks of life, there’s something powerful about helping teams stay strong, mobile, and ready. This is where I thrive.

Grateful for this opportunity—and excited for more to come.

If you’re an athlete, part of a team, or just need recovery-focused bodywork, let’s connect.

Our Story

TRUST!! This is something that doesn’t come easy, to ourselves or each other sometimes. It plays a big role in ours and others lives each day. In this particular post, I’m referring to the trust you have to have in yourself and the process of working out and recovering. Sure, you’re told things to do with the workouts to better them and yourself, like, rolling out, stretching out, going heavier, etc. However, you are also given that same advice in the recovery department, you have to do some stretching and range of motion exercises to get that blood flowing, before or after a workout, or just in general, if you don’t work out. This will allow your muscles to heal more rapidly in for you to keep your regimen and get better. So this is where the “trust” comes in. You’ve relied of what YOU may or may not know in order to “get by” that’s fine, that’s a survival trait, BUT, you also want answers and for people to just give you the blueprint. Not every person is the same, not every blueprint will be for you, so you will need to customize it. But, in the end, the overall direction is the same. Some of you are just starting your journey and some of you have been on it for awhile now. Trust the process and trust yourself in order to see results. If you would like to make massage a part of your recovery/regimen, contact me to set it up.
