Feeling like your stress has a stress of its own? 😩

At Stillwater Wellness, we believe real relief starts by restoring balance, not just in your body, but in your entire nervous system.

✨ Acupuncture is more than just tiny needles—it’s a powerful reset for your mind and mood. By gently stimulating key points, acupuncture helps:
🧠 Activate your parasympathetic nervous system (aka “rest + digest” mode)
💤 Improve sleep + digestion (two systems stress loves to mess with)
🌿 Release mood-boosting endorphins and lower stress hormones like cortisol

Whether you’re stuck in the burnout loop or riding waves of anxiety, your body holds the map to calm, and we’re here to help you access it.
💆‍♀️ Ready to feel like you again? Book your session this week and give your nervous system the rest it’s been craving.

📍Santa Fe, NM 🧡 Grounded care. Real relief.

This gentle reminder from Stillwater Bodywork is more than a pretty image. It’s an invitation to pause.

✔️ Get enough rest
✔️ Find joy in a hobby
✔️ Reach out to your support system

Whether it’s through acupuncture, massage, or simply a moment of stillness, you deserve to feel balanced and cared for.

🌿 We’re here when you’re ready to exhale.

As the seasons begin to shift, we’re turning inward, toward balance, rhythm, and deeper connection. This month at Stillwater Wellness, we’re exploring the timeless healing art of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM).

TCM teaches us that wellness is not just the absence of illness, but rather stems from a unified sense of self that arises from the cohesion of body, mind, and spirit. Through practices such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, mindful movement, and tui-na (Traditional Chinese Massage), TCM offers gentle ways to restore balance and support emotional resilience.

Whether you’re curious about how TCM can ease stress, support immunity, or simply help you feel more grounded, we’re here to guide you with compassion and clarity.

✨ Let’s step into September with intention and rediscover the power of ancient wisdom to support modern life.

At Stillwater Wellness, we are fortunate to have an exceptional team of practitioners dedicated to your health and well-being. This month, we are delighted to spotlight our exceptionally talented massage therapist, Kelsey.

Introduce yourself and tell me a bit about your background and experience in massage therapy.

I have been interested in healing my entire life. In college, I studied psychology at the University of Vermont. During college, I began practicing yoga and was in awe of how much I could improve the quality of my life simply through being more present in my body. After I graduated, I moved to Oregon to study yoga therapy with Sarahjoy Marsh. I wanted to be able to work hands-on with people, so massage school was the next step. I studied massage in Kauai, HI and have been practicing since graduating in 2018. In 2023, I began studying Biodynamic Craniosacral with Scott Zamurut here in Santa Fe and fell in love with this modality. I received weekly sessions that helped to heal chronic physical and emotional pain I had been dealing with my entire life.

Do you have any specific areas of specialization or techniques that you focus on in your practice?

Craniosacral works directly with the nervous system and can be beneficial for a wide variety of issues, including headaches, impact trauma, emotional trauma, fibromyalgia, and anyone who can benefit from some stress relief. Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a light-touch healing modality where the practitioner listens to different rhythms inside the body to help guide it towards deeper states of balance and wholeness. It can easily be added on to the end of a bodywork session for a full body, mind, heart, and soul reset.

What can a client expect during their first massage session with you?

When you come in for a session with me, I want to know what brings you in. What hurts, where, and what is it’s story? Our bodies hold the story of our lives, both pain and joy. What’s your body communicating to you today? I always want to understand what you want to get out of a session so I can tailor it to meet your needs, whether that's relaxation, pain relief, focus on a particular area or anything else.

At Stillwater Wellness, we are proud to have Kelsey on our team and are confident that her expertise will continue to bring healing and joy to our community.
If you haven't had the chance to experience the magic of Kelsey's healing touch, now is the perfect time to book your appointment.
