BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

"Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising."

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

For the contentment seekers. ✨

Sometimes ideas hit me, but I often don’t share outside of my internal world. I’m challenging myself to express outwardly more. To be brave and open the possibility that I am not alone in my specific challenges. And foster unexpected connections.

I wrote this quickly as a note to myself. I struggle with my own body acceptance and I’ve seen way too many soul-level gorgeous people who also struggle. This is also for all the people I’ve worked with-and have yet to work with-as a reminder that your body has so much to offer and that it’s worth it to allow to feel it all, in struggle and gratitude.

Thank you, body

I’m often at war with you,
Forcing you into something you are not.
I misunderstand the language you speak and the sensations you send
Or sadly don’t hear or feel them at all.
Trusting you doesn’t come easy.

Yet, you are always working to keep me safe

Today, I pause to thank you
To hear the subtle whisper of your wisdom.

Now I remember.
I have felt it all. We have felt it all.

Seen pinky-orange sunsets sprawl across the oceanside sky as we sit in awe
Felt the warm, profound comfort offered from my partner’s hand
Tasted meltiest most delicious chocolate chip cookies just out of the oven
Smelled popcorn as we enter a theater inspiring excitement of what’s to come
Heard so many “I love yous” and tiny little giggles that find their way to our ears
And gush into our soul.

Together, we’ve made it through all of our hardest days and
We’ve experienced a joy that feels hard to contain in a body.

We will keep going. And listening.

Thank you, body.

Love and connection drives all that I do when working with you. It is how we begin. Healing happens in proximity.

Love and connection are not a luxury but a necessity. It’s strange that we seem to have forgotten that relationship is at the root of who we are.

The invitation to remember and return to wholeness is not an invitation to become needless.

The invitation is to show up for love as love. To see the ones we choose to walk this life with as sacred hearts to be held and cherished.

We are stepping out of the fog and allowing ourselves to move towards that which can truly nourish us, rather than chasing people and connections that deplete us.

Your wholeness is your birthright.

Yesterday I was bowled over with this belated Christmas gift from my thoughtful client. It involved a personal joke, movie reference and a shared love of coffee. Shout out to clients who really get you! Hope your year is off to a good start. Mine has been rocky but being seen like this definitely helped. 🤖 💕☕️🍻

Sneaking this last post of 2023. 🎉

Meet Danielle “DJ” Johnson

Allow me to introduce you to my next presenter at The Embodiment Lab. Danielle “DJ” Johnson. She is the owner of Health in Mind , which is a mental health wellness company with a powerful mission to provide impactful services that heal our communities and to provide balanced employment for her staff.

DJ and I met when we became business neighbors in Midlothian, back in 2019. She was starting her new venture as a business owner and I was just opening my second location. We quickly discovered that we have many overlapping philosophies about how to engage and care for people and through this connection we became immediate friends.

Some people try to be cool, but Danielle EMBODIES cool. There is no trying, she just IS. And by cool, I mean imagine New York City late night smokey jazz club cool. Like spoken-word mic night cool. Like your best friend just flew into surprise you on your birthday cool. Like a person who will stop the all noise around her so she can hear what you have to say cool.

She is a powerful force and has a palpable strength and she can change the energy of a room just by walking in it. And if you are lucky enough to make her laugh -be thankful-because her laugh is one of the best around. Big and all in.

And most importantly, when she is around, you just know everything is going to be ok.

There will never be another “first time” of this workshop again, so join us for this unique and memorable event.
