I am back to blogging!! I'm always sharing links with family friends and clients, so I also decided to dip into being an Amazon affiliate. I am also a Black Vegan affiliate... that one just kind of happened, and I have been liking my experience using their products!

Read, like, share, ask me anything!

Of course as an LMT I make contact with so many bodies. I hear your stories and often I feel the energy you carry regarding how you feel about your body. So let me be vulnerable for a moment.

Recently a fitness trainer reached out to me. I responded and I quote

“I gave up on the numbers 🥴 but if I could lose 10lbs and maintain at that “number” that would be wonderful. When I say maintain I mean, with walking and sauna being my minimum and knowing what to eat. It’s not that I don’t like exercise it works best for me in a group setting and I don’t always like people and I don’t always have time. I’d rather be home curled up with a book or some new dream or working.”

I mean, if nothing else I was honest 😳. Besides being overly honest I’d go back to she’s amazing! Yes I love people, but don’t catch me when I’m peopled out 😂.

However, that I don’t have time piece, looked at myself like girl, what do you mean?! That was a miscommunication. What I really wanted to say was, I’m ok with being at my baseline right now. I take time for that and I’ll build on it when I’m ready.

I feel like the pressure is always on, so I like to acknowledge when I don’t need more of it. This is how I protect my peace and practice loving me in all my seasons. The ones where I’m going hard and the one where I’m practicing to rest. Healthy is the goal, yes, it require discipline, yes. However, stay away from situations that trigger you into feeling unduly bad about where you are because your mental and emotional well being matters even more.
I say more because it’s an uphill battle getting your body to respond when your mind is not in sync.

Love the life you live! Build on your baseline. Perfection is your enemy and induces procrastination.

You got this! Don’t let even yourself tell you otherwise 👏🏽

Long story made short, to be in alignment with certain regulations I had to change my business name. I put it off for long enough 🥴.

But of course I needed to keep Divi9 around in some form. It is the perfect affirmation for my present and future clients!

You are divi9 (divine), speak your affirmation and book your services today!!

Thank you for ALL your support!!

This client started with me approximately three weeks post op. She had 2 massages immediately after surgery, she fainted on one of the two and that was it! She didn’t want the breeze to blow too hard.

She was completely traumatized, but knew she needed massages. She booked reluctantly and even thought to cancel the day of.
At our first session she had her eyes squeezed shut so tight that the first treatment was all about calming her nervous system, building trust and really supporting her to a place of being present with her body.

By the end of that first session she was no longer holding her breath.
6 sessions down and she is skipping into the office, cracking jokes and expressing how free and almost back to normal she is feeling.

Being on my table is more than about the shape you’re in physically. I care for and support you as an entire being. Book with me, let’s take your journey one session at a time.

Question: Do you feel guilt when you take time off/out for yourself? What reminds you to be unapologetic about your self care?

Honestly, I do a lot of apologizing… while creating space for what I need. I use my calendar to my advantage. Blocking my time, knowing the purpose of that time block and going at the pace of the day. Rest is your birthright!⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Wake up, throw my favorite self care top on, I’m walk ready! If I do absolutely nothing else… which I experience periods of. I walk. What’s your bare minimum when it comes to self care?
