Hi! I'll be in PA early July and am offering massages. If you have chronic headaches, migraines, soreness, stiffness, anxiety. If we used to know each other and lost touch. I'd love to work with you and just hear from you!

Being able to work while on our visit will really help because taking that much time away from regular business is difficult. And I want to make it a priority to see PA friends and family.

Message me for details. Special summer rates 🌅

Please share with anyone you think could use a massage. Thank you for your help!

Scalenes group are some of my favourite muscles ♡

Take a deep breath in.
Nod your head "yes".
Turn your head to both sides and see if youre being watched.
Tilt your head to the side and wonder, what do these actions have in common?

☆ Scalenes ☆

Once upon a time during a massage school assignment to receive a professional massage and write a report, i received deep tissue work on my neck for the first time ever. These delicate muscles had never been touched, and they had been supporting me stressing and staring at a computer in an office for 12 years prior. The therapist was firm and fast. I winced, squirmed, held my breath, and because i had not yet found My Voice, i disassociated in the table, reliving a scene of being violently choked. to this day, i don't know if it was a buried memory or something else. The only comment my therapist had to say on the topic was "OOOOOOH SCALENES!" We hadn't even covered the neck in Anatomy, so this was my first time hearing that word. Ill never forget it.

I vowed that day to learn all about the scalenes. every attachment site and action. There had to be a gentler way to touch this sensitive part of the body.

When we covered Neck in Deep Tissue practical class, the technique involved a light squeeze and turn. Still i felt hesitant that i would cause a client to have an experience like my own.

During one of our last massage exchanges at with my dear friend and classmate .mentality we explored our way into a smooth modification one of the earliest swedish techniques we learned. A soft and slow slide under the neck in supine, pulling back and applying just enough deep tissue pressure with fingertips, all while calmly stablizing the shoulder girdle like a supportive friend.

Since beginning practicing as a MT, I'm so grateful that the clients finding me are asking for relief with that neck and upper shoulder tension I was so familiar with. So delighted after our session when clients rotate their neck with suprised smiles and say, "that didn't hurt at all!" (cont.)

what if i gave at least one massage every day? how would i feel? how would the people in the world around me feel?

on the days when i give any kind of massage, i feel overall better and the rest of the day seems to go smoother.

fully paid, discounted, barter, donation, gifted, thank you cards, whatever.

The NOW in Roswell, Colby Family Chiropractic in Woodstock, my house in Woodstock, your house in Cherokee/Cobb/Fulton county, a park pavillion, wherever.

"AH that felt SO GOOD thank you!"

So grateful to give chair massages to help so many office workers at the IRS this week! Feeling their relief after just 5 minutes in the chair energized me, reminded me why i left the office to pursue my massage therapy calling.

Delighted to represent The NOW Massage Roswell and The NOW Massage Buckhead
at the health fair. The unique attention to detail transformed our space and had folks lining up for their mini massage boutique experience.

35 massages. 3.5 hours. 14 booked appointments at our Roswell and Buckhead locations!

Pleased to join The NOW Massage Roswell team! Restore yourself in the journey room with me Tuesday and Sunday, 10am-3pm. link in bio.

During our business class at PMTI, I knew we were moving to Georgia, but not exactly where. so I researched the website of every massage therapy business in the entire northern Atlanta area, looking for a place to model my busness plan budget project after.

The NOW stands apart from the crowd. Their emphasis on the present moment resonates. I love using the gua sha enhancement and the calm balm feels heavenly.

I completed the business plan project as if I worked at The NOW. It already felt real. So when we moved to Woodstock and a brand new boutique was opening in Roswell and I got the job right away, it didn't feel like a suprise. Of course! Felt like all part of the plan ☆

SO excited to join the Colby Family Chiropractic with Dr. Cathy Wendland-Colby team as their new Massage Therapist!

During school at PMTI, working for a chiropractors office was commonly discussed. I had never been to a chiropractor, so I made an appt just to see what it was like. My experience was transformative, I was able to feel my shoulder blades lower and rest for the first time ever! So bringing my integrated deep tissue full body massage to a chiropractic care setting feels like a natural fit.

Prior to the pandemic, Woodstock Massage Therapy was up and running with 6 rooms and its own client greeting entry area. As the world adjusted to life after Covid, therapists moved on and 5 of the 6 massage rooms were converted into additional chiropractic treatment areas. So thankful the 6th room patiently held its space.

Book a massage with me in Woodstock today!
