Took the weekend off from hands on to study and get intellectual about grief massage. To lighten and brighten Lunch is sweet, sour, spicy, salty, crispy, crunchy,chewy and soo flavorful. I can feel my brain powering back up to full sparkle after working through my own months of grief and sadness. Im stepping out of the shadows of grieving for family, chosen family, adored loved ones, power dynamic offenders, protectors and pure love zen generators. In stepping out i choose to channel in new information and energy to bring forward as acts of service within the community. This work has been hovering on the horizon for several years and its a delight to dip my toes in.

The heating pad is very under rated tool for health support. At SPW we love a good heat pad so much we have them as table and foot warmers in each treatment room, along with hot water bottles, reusable hot packs, and warm steamy towels.

Our fav use for a heat pad is to top off a castor oil or Ginger belly compress to soothe a bloated and inflamed gut.
Castor oil is great for internal inflammation but is not a great companion for those breastfeeding, in that instance we suggest warming your core with a ginger compress

When your to‑do list can wait and your liver cleanse cannot. ✨😉💛
There’s something so simple and powerful about slowing down long enough to give your body what it truly needs.
A castor oil pack paired with a warm cup of tea isn’t just cozy, it’s a moment of nourishment for your digestive system, your liver, and your nervous system.
Castor oil packs can support lymphatic flow, ease bloating, and help your body process toxins more efficiently. Add in the ritual of sipping tea and suddenly you’re not just resting… you’re actively supporting your healing.
If you’ve been feeling sluggish, crampy, or like your body is asking for extra care, this might be your sign to carve out that time.
I offer sessions where we dive deeper into what your body is communicating and tailor simple, restorative practices like this to your unique needs. Let’s make space for you to feel supported and vibrant again.

The pregnant body in the 3rd trimester holds up to 4 pounds of amniotic fluid and an additional liter of blood volume. This abundance of fluid can make life uncomfortable with carpal tunnel symptoms, swollen fingers and hands, tender feet that expand 1-2 shoe sizes. C sections and other traumatic interventions can make it tough for the body to release that fluid swiftly.

If you are experiencing uncomfortable swelling during pregnancy or postpartum manual lymphatic drainage may help
restore fluid balance and flow.
