I’ve been meaning to do this last year however I decided to ultimately keep my rates the same (2hrs for $120) to really help my clients out and give them a deal

As many of you know, I usually work over and give my clients extra time (2h30 or more)

Although I don’t charge extra for this time, some clients will show their appreciation by leaving a tip.

I don’t do this however with the intention of getting paid more. I do this because I genuinely care about my clients and want to make sure I fix their pain if not significantly reduce it.

There are many instances where I go into the session knowing I will not be paid extra but will still go over because I feel like it’s the right thing to do.

There are also many instances where I put my heart and soul into the session and have worked on a client for 3hrs+ and still got paid the same.

In these instances it’s quite disheartening to not be compensated for my efforts. However it’s not something I can really get upset over since it’s something I do willingly.

I know I don’t have to, but I can’t help leaving the session knowing there’s areas I haven’t addressed or cleared up.

To offset this, I’ve decided to just increase my session rate to $150 so in the event I do work over I would be ok even if I did not get paid extra.

Sessions will still last 2hrs (up to 2h30 and maybe 3hrs if I’m feeling nice ;)

For past clients I’ve worked with regularly* I will be keeping the rates the same to show appreciation for your support. Just send me a message and I’ll check the records and let you know if you’re one of them!

P.S - I stopped offering shorter time frame sessions because it’s not enough time to do my work. I like to address the body as a whole and work on what’s CAUSING the pain… not just what’s in pain. If you only want one muscle group massaged (i.e your neck or back) it’s probably best to work with another therapist. Speaking of which, for the type of work I do you will easily find therapists in larger cities (LA, SD, OC, etc.) that will charge what I charge for 1 HOUR.

So if you want to take advantage of this deal you have until Valentine’s Day to do so 🙂

God bless 🙏💙 🙌

Here’s 5 very important things to know before we work together. This video is on the longer side so I time stamped them so you can scroll to the points that you’re most interested in knowing the reasoning to. Ideally I would take some time out to listen to all of them (while on a walk, driving, etc.)

I’ll also post a text version in my story/highlights for those who don’t want to watch the videos

Point #1 - 1:30: Come by Yourself
Point #2 - 4:13: CLOSE YOUR EYES 👀
Point #3 - 6:44: Turn OFF Your Phone! 📱
Point #4 - 10:52: Be Aware of Your Hygiene (The way you smell) Point #5 - 14:10: Not All Pain is Caused by TIGHT Muscles! (important)

Did you know tight abdominals is a hidden cause of neck tension, shoulder issues and also breathing problems?
Because many of us lead a sedentary lifestyle or sit excessively for a living (especially in a slouched position) the abdominals have a tendency to become short and tight.
When this happens, the abs will pull the upper body into a flexed or kyphotic position. In other words your spine will be rounded forward. This a known as “rounded shoulders”.

Not only this, but many people have tendency to hold their breath or tense up their stomach under stress. This combined with the overtraining of the crunch exercise leads to chronic shortening of the upper abdominals

As a result, mid back pain, shoulder issues, forward head posture, and neck tension then generally follow

Not only this but excessive shortening of the upper abdominals also compresses and shuts down the diaphragm, the primary muscle responsible for taking deep breaths into the belly.

If we can’t belly breathe, we end up chest breathing, and over recruiting the neck and shoulders to lift up the rib cage. Think of how you hyperventilate after sprinting very fast. This unknowingly triggers the flight or fight response and is also a hidden cause of anxiety.

If you want a therapist who can address this, send me a message! Have a good one 😉 👍🙏

Book a session for Fathers Day!

Father’s Day is coming up and one way to show your appreciation to you dad or spouse is to get him a massage!

Often men’s efforts to protect and provide go unnoticed and even taken for granted

No matter your relationship with you dad or husband, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to show him some love by getting him a massage :)

He will surely appreciate your kind gesture and this may even be the catalyst to help heal or improve your relationship (or enhance it if it’s already good!)

If you don’t have a father or husband or you’re taking on the both-parent-role then book one for yourself!

Getting bodywork REGULARLY is paramount to having a pain free body and also leads to an improved quality of life!

Book a 2hr session for $120 for the week of 6/16-6/23

Most individuals who have problems with their foot or ankle joint likely have dysfunction in their tibialis anterior muscle.

Trigger points in this muscle can cause:

❌ Shin Splints
❌ Ankle weakness
❌ Foot dropping/slapping
❌ Pain in big toe
❌ Gout like symptoms
❌ …and many other foot/ankle problems

If you need help releasing this muscle along with addressing any other kink in your system that’s disrupting your kinetic chain leading to knee, hip or lower back pain send me a message or reach out @ 951-990-3185

Have a good one 🙂👍🙌

Here’s another important video to go over when addressing lower back pain or SI Joint/tailbone pain

I see this most often with women who’ve gotten c-sections, surgeries in the abdominal region, or have never toned up their core/pelvic muscles after pregnancy

But it’s also weak/inactive in pretty much anyone who comes in with SI Joint and tail bone issues.

Most SI joint/sacrum pain comes from PELVIC INSTABILITY.

Therefore, getting deep tissue is not the best idea because that may destabilize your body more

Instead, you want to focus on strengthening the intrinsic core muscles (TVA, pelvic floor muscles, glutes, etc) so your pelvis has more stability

Massage therapy is great for releasing muscle tension or knots, but is not always the solution to all bodily pains.

Pain usually comes when the muscles or joints aren’t in the optimal position, and this can come from length - tension imbalances.

Too much tension = Pain

A muscle being lengthened/pulled on because of too much tightness on the other side (or weak muscles permitting it be overworked) also = Pain

If you need help or guidance to fixing these problems… reach out 🙂👍🙌

These 2 problems are the two muscles I tell my clients are WEAK on pretty much every body!

They’re also the most important muscles to strengthen when it comes down to LOWER BACK PAIN and SCIATICA.

The common denominator I see with most if not all of my clients that come in for LBP, sciatica or tail bone issues is a big belly or lack of muscle tone in their hips.

If this is the case, then the first line of defense should always be strengthen the body if you aren’t doing so already.

If you’re already training these muscles but still feel tension or stiffness in your back, then that’s where my work comes in!

You most likely have muscle restrictions or knots and will benefit tremendously from muscle release.

Reach out and book a session if you need help 🙂👍🙌

I often send my clients corrective exercises to do on top of the work we do on the table… reason being, tight muscles are only HALF of the picture.

The other half of the picture are WEAK MUSCLES.

Pain can also be caused by muscle WEAKNESS (poor muscle activation or firing issues)

This happens when you sit too much, don’t exercise, or overuse a set of muscles in relation to its counter parts (you have an imbalance between muscle groups—certain muscles doing too much “tight/OVER-active” and muscles not doing enough “inhibited/UNDER-active”

For example a lot of lower back pain is caused by weakness in the glutes and the core.

You have your inner unit of intrinsic stabilizers (pelvic floor muscles, transverse abdominis, diaphragm, etc.) that is VERY IMPORTANT to balance out the extrinsic/outer muscles.

When a client comes in with lower back pain, tail bone issues or sciatica, I usually ask them “do you exercise or workout regularly?”

I don’t think they realize… I already know the answer!

I’m just asking to see what kind of excuses they’ll say or if they’ll lie to me.

PSA: I work with body’s all day every day. I know what’s a healthy body and what’s not. I can look at your face, your skin, the way it looks, the way your body’s shaped, the way it SMELLS, and then lastly the way it FEELS and know exactly what you do (or don’t do) to your body.

So if you aren’t exercising, aren’t eating healthy, are constantly sitting and/or are [severely] overweight, you might want to address that first. As the saying goes, “you have bigger fish to fry!”

If your pain is a result of diet and lifestyle, it’s unrealistic to expect it to be fixed through massage!

Massage therapy can only fix TIGHT MUSCLES! (muscle restrictions/knots)

I use to take it personally when I can’t help someone but I learned it’s not my responsibility to fix a problem that needs to be addressed though exercise.

As the saying also goes, I can’t do your push-ups for you!

So if your aren’t exercising, START!

And if we’ve worked together and you’re still experiencing pain but haven’t done any of the corrective exercises I recommended… then WHATYA DOIN’?!

That’s it. Thanks for reading 🙂🙏

This is a reupload of old footage I filmed on how to fix rounded shoulders/kyphosis/hunchback posture

Laying on a foam roller is one of the best things you can do for your posture because not only does it reverse the hunching/slouching we do everyday but it also allows you to open up your abdominals and rib cage so you can take deeper/fuller breaths.

In this video, I teach you how to mobilize and extend your thoracic spine safely. However if at anytime the movement starts to feel uncomfortable, painful or you start to get dizzy (rare but happens) just stop.

All movements should be done SLOWLY with intention. Your body will guide you to what feels good so just listen and follow along.

Once you get the hang of it then you can push the boundaries and get creative

*note* - I forgot to mention to keep your tongue resting behind your upper teeth/roof of mouth (swallowing position). This helps stabilize your neck muscles

Here’s an old video I filmed during CoVID. It’s one of my most favorite stretches. This is also great for anyone with sciatica/tight hips. Highly recommend having a similar setup 🪑 or couch so you can have something to grab onto/maneuver with while you rotate (makes a big difference vs. a regular chair).

Enjoy and let me know how it goes 👇🙂🙌

Do you or someone you know experience sciatic pain? Sciatica is often caused by:

❌ Excessive Sitting
❌ Inadequate/Improper Movement
❌ Hip Imbalances (weak gluteals or restrictions)
❌ Weak/inhibited Abdominals
❌ Overactive Hamstrings (Hamstring Dominance)
❌ imbalances with other Leg Muscles (Tight TFL, Psoas, Adductors)
❌ ... and even FAULTY BREATHING PATTERNS!

If you’re experiencing sciatica and it’s been a chronic problem, you more than likely have to combine soft tissue therapy with other adjustments in lifestyle (like stretching and mobilizing, corrective exercise, and diet and nutrition)

If you want help with addressing sciatica and any other muscle that is contributing to your pain/tension, send me a message or contact me at 951-990-3185 for more details

Look forward to hearing from you 🙂🙌
