We were recently featured in New York Magazine and referred to as “a staple in the Brooklyn-mom whisper network.” It made us smile — because so many clients first find Red Moon during pregnancy or postpartum through a quiet recommendation from a friend. And we’re incredibly grateful for that.

But here’s what we want more people to know:
Red Moon isn’t just for prenatal or postnatal care.

We support clients through all seasons of life — whether you’re managing chronic tension, recovering from injury, training for an athletic event, regulating your nervous system, supporting pelvic health, or simply carving out space to feel better in your body.

Many people meet us during pregnancy… and don’t realize we’re here long after that chapter ends.

If you’ve been meaning to come back, or are curious about what else we offer, we’d love to see you. And if someone comes to mind who could use this kind of care — feel free to keep the whisper network going.

Have you tried an infrared sauna before?

We’re curious — many people are exploring infrared sauna as part of their wellness or recovery routines. Unlike traditional saunas that heat the air around you, infrared saunas use gentle light waves to warm the body more directly, which some people find more comfortable and easier to tolerate.

Supporters often turn to infrared sauna for:

✨ muscle relaxation and recovery
✨ stress reduction and nervous system support
✨ improved circulation
✨ better sleep
✨ skin health and gentle detox support

Some also find it helpful for managing chronic tension, fatigue, or general wellness maintenance.

If you’ve tried it, we’d love to hear about your experience.

Pelvic pain is rarely “just pelvic.”

Many people experiencing painful periods, hip or low-back tension, digestive discomfort, fatigue, or nervous system overwhelm are actually navigating complex, interconnected health conditions. This was one of the biggest themes at the Pelvic Health Conference our team attended last weekend.

Conditions like endometriosis and chronic pelvic pain often exist alongside dysfunction of the autonomic nervous system, connective tissue disorders, and hormonal shifts. These patterns frequently show up in bodywork sessions as chronic pelvic or abdominal tension, joint instability, widespread muscle pain, gut sensitivity, and nervous system dysregulation.

One important takeaway: pain is highly individual and not always explained by what can be seen on imaging or tests. Research continues to show that integrative therapies like therapeutic massage can help support pain regulation, reduce protective muscle tension, and improve quality of life for people living with complex pelvic health conditions.

A quote that stayed with our team:
“When you can’t connect the issues, think connective tissue.”

Because connective tissue supports the entire body, differences in collagen can influence symptoms across many systems — from migraines and joint pain to menstrual discomfort and fatigue.

We’ve shared more insights from the conference including emerging research on hormones, nerve sensitivity, and plant-derived treatments for chronic pain in our full blog recap. ✨ Read more at the link in bio.

Last weekend, 8 members of our Red Moon Wellness team joined me at the 2026 Pelvic Health Conference & Endometriosis Symposium hosted by Inspira Integration at the Kaufman Music Center. It was an incredible opportunity to learn from clinicians and researchers across specialties who are advancing our understanding of chronic pelvic pain, endometriosis, hormonal health, and nervous system regulation.

Continuing education is something I deeply prioritize for our practice. Many of the people we care for are living with complex, interconnected conditions involving the pelvic floor, connective tissue, hormones, and the nervous system. Staying connected to evolving research helps us offer care that is more thoughtful, informed, and responsive — because massage therapy is most powerful when it’s grounded in both skill and clinical insight.

We are so grateful to the Inspira Integration team for organizing such a meaningful event, and to the many professionals who shared their knowledge. We’ll be sharing a few highlights in upcoming posts, and a full recap is now live on our blog. Check it out!

A couple of weeks ago, I went up to teach at the ArborVitae School of Traditional Herbalism in New Paltz, where I’m on faculty part-time.

I was teaching the first-year class about herbal medicine for the musculoskeletal system, and I demonstrated fire cupping to illustrate how the Six Tissue States — a traditional Western herbal assessment framework — show up in the body.

We placed a large glass cup on a student’s sacrum and observed something fascinating:

- A visible dimple under the cup suggesting underlying scar tissue
- Blanched, white skin after removal — indicating a cold/depleted tissue state

In healthy circulation, we expect to see pink; bright red can suggest heat; dark purple can indicate stagnation. The body always tells a story — you just have to know how to read it.

I love teaching students how hands-on therapies like cupping intersect with herbal assessment. It’s such a powerful way to connect traditional wisdom with what we can see and feel in real time.

Frozen shoulder (or adhesive capsulitis) is especially common in women in their 40s–50s. During perimenopause, declining estrogen can reduce elasticity and hydration in the joint capsule, making the shoulder more vulnerable to inflammation and stiffness. Thyroid imbalance and insulin resistance can also increase risk. Adhesive capsulitis takes a predictable course of 1-2+ years starting with a terribly painful inflammatory stage that progresses into scar tissue locking down the joint into extremely limited range of motion as the initial painful phase passes.

It slowly improves over time but massage and bodywork can be extremely helpful in the process. Gentle and supportive massage is best early on in the inflammatory phase, then deeper with stretching as the pain of the early phase decreases.

At Red Moon Wellness, we also use acupuncture, cupping, and herbal support to address both the local shoulder pain and the broader hormonal picture.

If your shoulder has been feeling “stuck,” you don’t have to just wait it out.

A client fell asleep midway through her massage the other day. When she woke up, she said she felt incredibly rested — even though it was such a short nap.

Have you ever drift into deep sleep during a massage and wake up feeling weirdly… refreshed? That’s actually super common — and a really good sign.

During massage, your body shifts into the parasympathetic nervous system (“rest + digest” mode), which helps lower stress hormones and allows your system to truly reset.

Many people leave feeling:
✨ rested
✨ mentally clearer
✨ lighter in their body
✨ calmer overall

Sometimes it’s the deepest relaxation your nervous system has had in weeks.

So if you doze off on the table? That’s totally common — it’s your body saying: thank you.

Why are muscle spasms more common in the winter?

Cold weather can cause muscles to tighten and circulation to slow down, which can make spasms and stiffness more likely—especially in the neck, shoulders, hips, and low back.

Massage therapy can help by:

✔️ Increasing circulation to cold, tight areas
✔️ Calming the nervous system (so the body stops bracing)
✔️ Releasing trigger points that can contribute to spasm patterns
✔️ Reducing inflammation and restoring mobility

Depending on what your body needs, a Red Moon Wellness LMT may use techniques such as:

✔️ Myofascial release to soften tight connective tissue
✔️ Trigger point therapy to address the root of muscle “grabbing”
✔️ Swedish massage to support circulation and relaxation
✔️ Slow, intentional deep tissue work to release chronic tension safely
✔️ Breath-based work to help regulate the nervous system

After your massage, you can support recovery by:

✔️ Using a heating pad to keep the area warm
✔️ Avoiding cold exposure when possible
✔️ Refraining from heavy lifting or strenuous activity for the rest of the day

Winter can be hard on the body—but the right treatment and aftercare can make a meaningful difference.
