Hi Monday! Please be gentle with us! 😊

Stay tuned for some exciting news from me but in the meantime I’d like to share a question from Sharon Salzburg’s page. (She’s an amazing mindfulness and self-compassion teacher with a new beginner accessible book out. If you think you can’t meditate, she may be your person. And by the way, of course you can’t. That’s why we practice. It’s all practice.)

What quote(s) or personal mantras help you get through a difficult day?

I’ll share one of my favorites. It helps me slow down which lets my brain (which tries to go too fast) catch up to my body. And when my brain and body are aligned I feel much more connected, well and empowered. Essentially, when our mind and body are aligned, this is the feeling of embodiment. 🥰

What does it mean to be a massage therapist?

It means holding a space for people to undress safely and without fear.

It means holding a space for people to allow their bodies to be touched.

It means being present while emotions arise and cultivating equanimity.

It means listening with your head, heart and hands.

It also means navigating a society where touch is often viewed as morally degenerative and s*xual.

Did you know that most massage therapists have experienced some kind of s*xual solicitation or assault while at work? This is because "massage" is still used as a euphemism for s*x work in many places, including in media.

Help massage therapists stay safe and make sure when people make jokes about "happy endings" you call them out. We really appreciate it!

I have an air purifier in my office, but if you have sensitivities, please take care outside.

PRIDE month is important to me.
PRIDE means celebrating all the beautiful ways humans are made.
PRIDE means every person has autonomy over their own body and what feels good, right and safe.
I strive to have a welcoming, inclusive and safe atmosphere in my practice for all people and for EVERY body.
🩷❤️🧡💛💚💙💜

Back in October I harvested some calendula blossoms and set them in my cellar to infuse in olive oil. I’m straining them off today to make some lovely, sunshine-infused massage oil. And yesterday I clipped a bit of balsam from my tree and set those aside to infuse for six weeks or so. In mid-January a balsam oil will be so nourishing.
