I’m finally ready to share more about my volunteer trip to Ukraine — and first, I want to say a huge THANK YOU. Your donations, messages, shares, and encouragement got me there, kept me grounded, and truly made this healing work possible. 💛💙

Lviv surprised me in the best way. The city was stunning — ancient architecture, flower vendors everywhere, people singing in the squares, relaxing and sipping coffee in cafes. If you didn’t know there was a war happening, the joy and everyday life might’ve fooled you for a moment.

And then… the air raid sirens would go off in the middle of the night. Nothing like being encouraged into a bomb shelter at 2 a.m. But even in those surreal moments, the humor and resilience of the people around us made everything feel strangely steady and human.

Every day at 9 a.m., the entire country pauses for one minute of remembrance and communal mourning. Cars stop. Conversations stop. People simply stand together. It was one of the most moving, grounding things I’ve ever witnessed. Sobering, yes, but also incredibly beautiful. A reminder that even in unimaginable circumstances, people can stay connected, heart to heart.

Most of my time was spent assisting my mentor, Sharon Wheeler, teaching ScarWork to doctors, PTs, OTs, and massage therapists in two hospitals. These practitioners showed up ready to learn, ask deep questions, and their enthusiasm was contagious.

Our demo models were people in all stages of healing — amputations, shrapnel injuries, grafts, hearing loss, and more. And the changes they felt were real and immediate:
✨ easing phantom limb pain
✨ improving hearing
✨ preparing bodies for prosthetics
✨ softening and reintegrating scars
✨ restoring circulation and lymph flow

These wins, big and small, were celebrated with genuine joy and sometimes surprise. The kind of moments that remind you why healing work matters so deeply.

Their stories were incredible, sometimes told so matter-of-factly that we’d all just stare for a second, wondering how anyone could endure so much and still be so present and grounded. Their resilience was humbling, their openness a gift, and their trust something I will never forget.

I only experienced a whisper of what it means to live in an active war zone, but that whisper taught me so much about resilience, community, gratitude, and the power of small acts of healing during big, uncertain times.

This trip changed me, in the best ways. I carry the kindness and warmth of the Ukrainian people with me. And every morning at 9 a.m., wherever I am, I pause and send them love.

Thank you again for helping me get there and for believing in this work. Healing matters. Community matters. And together, we made a real difference. 🙏💛💙

Do you want help with your pelvic floor issues?

I am a manual and massage therapist who is specially trained and determined to help you heal.

I’ve put together a one-of-a-kind Pelvic Floor Series just for people like you. And you get a lovely self care gift package if you sign up! *see below for details*!

If you’re not sure if you have pelvic floor problems, I have a few questions:

1. Is s*x painful? If you’re making up excuses to avoid s*x, you’re not alone. Almost 75% of women have painful s*x according to the American College of OBGYNs. It doesn’t have to be this way! The Pelvic Floor Series can decrease pain sensitivity, release nerve impingements, and increase blood flow (say hello to better or***ms!).

2. Do you p*e a little when you laugh, jump, sneeze, or well…do anything? You’ve been wondering if you’ll ever wear a thong again–but how could you when you need pantyliners all day, every day? One in four women have urinary incontinence which only gets worse with age according to the Mayo Clinic. The Pelvic Floor Series can relax and tone muscles to help you stop the leaks.

3. Do you feel like you have to p*e all the time? You p*e “just in case” whenever you leave the house, and the next bathroom break is always on your mind. The Pelvic Floor Series can help you regain control of your bladder by reprogramming your brain and bladder functions.

4. Are you sick of doing pigeon pose? If endless hip openers aren’t fixing your tight hips, it’s time to try something else. Hip problems are really common if you’ve ever been pregnant. The hips and sacrum moved in preparation for labor and then you get stuck with a painful misalignment that lasts months or years. This can have serious consequences–it’s no surprise that hip replacements are up 40% in middle-aged women! The Pelvic Floor Series can help balance muscle and fascial tension in the hips and may reduce low back pain, too.

I’ll ask again–do you want help with your pelvic floor problems?

I really want you to know that pelvic floor work is for every body. Regardless of your internal organs or external genitalia, everyone can benefit from this work. If you’re currently pregnant, now is not a good time for the Pelvic Floor Series, but please reach out about pregnancy massage.

I also want you to know that this is not erotic massage. Your clothes will stay on; I will only manually work on external body parts. Beforehand, I will show you exactly what I am working on using a plastic model of a pelvis, and we will use informed consent throughout the sessions. You also always have the option to stop what we’re doing.

There are currently only 8 spots open for the Pelvic Floor Series. It’s a series of 6 private sessions with me where you get hands-on bodywork and customized treatment.

For this limited time promo, the people who sign up for the series will receive a package of extra strength bath salt to melt your stiff muscles and stress away. This luxurious bath salt was created for Fountain of Youth by local skincare company Bombini Skin and is enhanced by clary sage, marjoram, balsam, and vanilla. The gift package will also include a vial of rose glow facial oil (also made by our friends at Bombini Skin) and a massage ball which you will learn how to use for continued pelvic floor health.

If you or someone you know is suffering from pelvic floor issues, please send them my way

A life lesson that has been coming up a lot in my life recently has been “thinking about doing something can be much more painful/anxiety producing then actually doing it.”

So it’s better to just do it!

What are some life lessons that have been coming up in your life recently?
