✨ Massage isn’t just bodywork, it’s energy, intention, and love in action.

One of my favorite practices is Metta Meditation 🌿💛
It’s a reminder that what I want for me, I also want for you… and for every human:

May you be happy.
May you be healthy.
May you be free of suffering.
May you live in peace.

That’s the spirit I carry into every session. ✨

Ever notice how your body sometimes tenses or jumps with touch?
That’s your brain predicting what’s coming next, it’s meant to protect you, but when the body has been holding tension for a long time, those predictions can become overactive.

🧠 New 2025 research explains that massage gives your nervous system safe, slightly new input. Over time, the brain updates its map and realizes: ‘I don’t need to hold on so tight.’

I see this shift in my own clients:
✨ Early sessions often come with bracing or trying to ‘help’ me move.
✨ But gradually, I see less guarding, less jumping, and more surrender.
✨ That’s why I hear things like:
‘Wow, I never know what you’re doing next.’
‘You always keep it fresh.’
‘You always do something new.’

It’s not just variety.
It’s your body learning safety and trust.

While I love keeping your brain on its toes, the deeper work is happening with your nervous system. Together, we’re rewiring old patterns into trust and release.

This is the part of my work I love most: seeing clients shift from guarding to truly letting go. 🤍

Your health is an investment, not an expense.
This week, don’t forget to add yourself to the list of things that need care. 🌿

✨ What I mean by that: every time someone chooses wellness, they’re not spending - they’re investing in more energy, more presence, and more years of feeling good in their body. 🔁

Massage is more than relaxation; it’s reset, restoration, and a reminder that you matter too. 💤🔋💛

Come with me to organize my work locker 🤭
I’ve been meaning to tackle this little area of chaos for a while now, so I finally pulled the trigger on some organizers and got it done. It goes from cluttered to calm in 60 seconds ✨ (if only it actually took that long 😂)

After hundreds of massages and countless “what can I do at home?” conversations, these are the recommendations I give on repeat — because they actually work. 💆‍♀️

From minerals that support muscle recovery, to posture-friendly sleep tweaks, to lymphatic-boosting rituals, each tip is backed by physiology and my hands-on experience in the treatment room.

📚 What’s inside this post:
• The science behind my top self-care suggestions
• Practical tips you can start today
• References for the research nerds 🤓

✨ Whether you try one or all eight, consistency is where you’ll see the difference.
Save this post to revisit later, and let me know in the comments which one you’re going to try first!
