Have you ever received a massage and felt a emotional release during or afterwards? It’s OK, actually it’s a great thing! What it is: TRAUMA RELEASE! Sometimes it isn’t just a massage.

This is deep nervous-system release.

When pressure is applied this way, the body can unlock stored trauma that’s been trapped for years—sometimes decades—inside the fascia, hips, pelvis, and nervous system. This is where the body hides stress, fear, shock, and survival responses.
You may experience:
• sudden emotional waves
• shaking or spontaneous breath changes
• tears without a clear reason
• deep exhaustion followed by clarity
• a feeling of “weight lifting” off the body

This isn’t pain.
This is the body letting go.

The nervous system finally feels safe enough to release what it’s been holding in silence.

✨ Trauma isn’t just psychological — it’s physical memory.
✨ When the body releases, the mind follows.
✨ This is regulation, not relaxation.

If you’ve “tried everything” and nothing worked…
It might be because your body was still holding the story.

This is where healing actually begins. It’s time! Call 402-670-0707 to schedule an appointment for you or your loved one! ❤️

Valentine’s Day is three days away. Why give the gift of a massage? Flowers are beautiful, but they fade, chocolate is delicious but it disappears. A massage resets the body's nervous system, relaxes the mind and body, increases the body's circulation, aids in balancing your digestive system, as all these elements are interconnected. It’s showing appreciation by saying, take some time for yourself. In today's busy and chaotic world, this gesture is especially thoughtful. Gift certificates can be purchased at the front desk at the wellness center here in Nebraska City. Alternatively, you can call or text anytime 402-670-0707 with any questions, to inquire about a gift certificate, or to schedule a massage.❤️

Whether it’s cupping, deep tissue, or just plain relaxation! Reset the nervous system, relax the body, relax the mind, increase lymph flow, increase the bodies circulation, decrease stress and anxiety! It’s something we all need in our lives!

When you give a massage gift certificate, you’re giving more than just a gift. It’s a gift of mental and emotional well-being. A gift that decreases stress, anxiety, and depression. A gift that says you deserve relaxation! Because let’s face it our world today is crazy and chaotic! Everybody, everyone needs all this in their life! If you can’t sleep at night? It is time to reset the nervous system. Because sleep is essential. And not just sleep with good quality sleep! It is an absolute known fact that after you receive a massage, you sleep better. So give the gift that gives someone more than just a massage!!! I absolutely love being a massage therapist, and if I won the lottery, I would probably still do this! My gift certificates come in 30 minutes, 60 minutes and 90 minute increments. I am offering a super special right now where if you buy five you get one free! 402-670-0707.

Rice Wraps make a great gift for the holidays! Why choose a rice wrap? It molds to your body. If you use a bag of ice, it just sits there and does not form on your body. So you get the most out of a rice wrap! You can also place a rice wrap in the microwave For about a minute and a half to two minutes. I recommend you always keep a rice wrap in your freezer. You can always warm it up, but you can’t always just have it frozen unless you store it in your freezer. I got a call from my distributor lady And she said that the main lady that makes these has recently passed away. So to be honest with you I’m not sure how long I will be able to get these. I did order a rice wrap off Amazon because I was curious. First of all, I paid. $10-$15 more and the quality was crap. So crappy I couldn’t get anyone to buy it and I ended up giving it away! So if you’re looking for a great quality rice wrap now is your chance. I sell them for $20. if interested, let me know and I will place an order which may be the last order I place. So now is your chance! Shoot me a text if you would like a rice wrap for you or for that special someone for Christmas! 402-670-0707. I can get these for you before Christmas! Rice Wraps are great to put on stiff and tight shoulders, lower back, stiff, tight, or injured knee, and whatever body part needs ice!

Those “knots” you feel? They’re not hunks of muscle to be smashed apart. They’re part of a conversation your nervous system is having with the rest of your body.

Massage therapy works through that nervous system dialogue in two fascinating ways:

✨ Gate Control Theory: Your spinal cord acts like a “control center” for sensation. Non-painful touch (like slow, steady massage) can “close the gate” to pain signals by activating large, fast A-beta nerve fibers. This helps reduce the brain’s perception of pain (like when you rub your elbow after bumping it.)

✨ DNIC Response: For some clients, firm or deep pressure can trigger a “pain inhibits pain” effect. This engages your body’s built-in pain-relief systems, allowing tension to melt and relief to spread.

Both mechanisms are about communication!!!! Not destruction. Skilled touch helps your body feel safe, interrupts pain messages, and invites the whole system to reset.

Massage isn’t about “breaking you down.” It’s about helping your brain, nerves, and muscles work together again.

So I love functional medicine! I listen to podcast, research articles, audiobooks, research research research everything that has to do with integrative functional medicine! I go down a lot of rabbit holes! And I just want to point out this fact. Yes I am a massage therapist and I am here for you! I work some crazy hours sometimes, but I am here for you. Stress breaks down your body, high cortisone levels affect so much! Sleep, anxiety, depression, immune system, weight management, literally the list goes on and on! when Cortizone levels are high, your body starts to feel it. That’s when you start to get sick, loose sleep, feel anxiety, and weight gain. Let’s not let that happen! here is an example, my 12 year-old daughter has been struggling with falling asleep at night. That is unusual for anyone in this household. With that being said, I realized it was time she needed a massage to reset that nervous system! That night she slept so good and so hard that you could have a whole conversation with her and she had no recollection because she was in that deep of sleep. I feel bad for even letting it get this far! So when you notice things like this, it’s time, time to reset that nervous system and get a massage! my services are here. You just have to schedule that appointment! Whether it’s you, your spouse, your child or any loved one! Lower those Cortizone levels!!! Your mind and body will thank you!

Let’s talk about what you’re really paying for when you book a massage.

❌ It’s not just 60 or 90 minutes on the table.
❌ It’s not just “a treat.”

It’s real care that impacts every part of your life... How you move, sleep, work, and feel in your body.

Massage is:

✨ Pain relief
✨ Injury prevention
✨ Stress and anxiety management
✨ Support for your nervous system
✨ A proactive way to feel like yourself again. That’s why investing in massage is one of the most powerful forms of self-care you can choose.

Teacher appreciation week is complete. Thank you goes out to Nebraska city public schools and lords Central Catholic for inviting me in to give our teachers a little bit of R&R. This is not only for my children’s teachers, but if you’re a teacher and this speaks to you, it definitely is for you! Dear Teachers, Did You Know?

Did you know my kids talk about you at the dinner table almost every night?

They tell us funny stories about you. They know little facts about your life. Where you grew up. Your dog’s name. How many siblings you have. Your likes and dislikes. They pay attention to the things that matter to you, because YOU matter to them.

Did you know how much your opinion means to them?

I see how their eyes light up at your compliments. It’s obvious how much they value your input and validation. When they accomplish something, like reading their first chapter book or winning a baseball game, it’s you they want to tell.

Did you know you’re one of their safe places?

I watch you on field trips and during class events. I see how you talk to them. The patience you have, the kindness you show. I see how the students give you unprompted hugs, how they want to sit next to you during a picnic lunch, how they can’t wait to tell you about their weekend. Your desk is adorned with hand drawn pictures and notes, “To Mrs. ____”. I notice that, too.

Your students love you, and I know it’s because they feel genuinely loved by you, too.

Your career isn’t an easy one. I know firsthand—been there, done that.

But you show up for them anyway.

You push through the hard stuff—the long trainings, the hoops you have to jump, the heartbreaking truths you know about your students, and the parents who make you the undeserving target of their frustrations.

I know the tears you probably shed behind closed doors, wondering if it’s all worth it. You know in your heart it is.

Dear teachers,

Did you know you’re changing the world?

Did you know how wides the ripples of your impact will go?

Did you know someday when our kids are grown, they’ll remember your name and tell someone that you were their favorite?

That you changed their life?

That they’re a better person because you once believed in them?

Dear teachers . . . thank you.

I just wanted you to know.
