A rare midweek opening.

A long-standing Wednesday appointment recently became available, which means a few additional spots have opened in March.

With the month already nearly full, this is a great opportunity if you’ve been watching the schedule.

Whether you’re due for maintenance or simply ready to get back on the table, consistent care is where meaningful progress happens — and I’m glad to have a little extra room to support it.

Booking remains available online.
Questions are always welcome via text.

White linens are intentional. 🤍

You’ll notice I use white — even on the face cradle covers. Not because I expect perfection… but because I value cleanliness, transparency, and high standards in my treatment room.

Makeup happens. Mascara transfers. Self-tanner exists. Life is life. It truly does not bother me one bit.

Here’s why:

If something doesn’t wash or professionally bleach out, I retire it. No hesitation. No “it’s fine.” No cutting corners.

Your skin deserves clean.
Your nervous system deserves safe.
And your session deserves an environment that reflects the level of care I provide.

Makeup wipes are always available in the room if you’d like to use one before your session, after your session, or even take one with you for a quick touch-up on the go. There’s never any pressure or expectation — they’re simply there for your convenience.

Because trauma-informed care isn’t just about how I work on the table.
It’s about autonomy, comfort, and knowing you are never an inconvenience here.

This space is judgment-free.
It’s just well cared for. 🤍

Yesterday, one of my sweet clients welcomed her baby into the world. 🤍

Today, I’m ending my day with a pregnancy massage.
Tomorrow, I start my morning with one.

Who’s got the pregnancy dust? I’m tryna catch some of that. 😅😂🙏🏻

In the meantime, I’m just so honored to support these mamas through every stage — from growing baby to postpartum recovery. There’s something really special about being trusted with that season of life.

If you’re expecting (or know someone who is), I’d love to care for you.

Cupping isn’t the whole session — and it’s not meant to be. 🤍

I’ve had more questions lately about cupping + scraping, so let’s clarify:

Cups are typically left in one area for up to 15 minutes max (as shown here). After that, they’re either moved or removed depending on what we’re addressing.

Cupping and scraping are tools — not the entire treatment.

They’re incorporated when clinically appropriate, based on:
• the area(s) we’re working
• your goals
• tissue response
• and your consent to the treatment plan

Every session with me blends multiple techniques and modalities to create a result-driven, customized experience. Sometimes that includes cupping. Sometimes it doesn’t. What matters most is what your body needs that day.

This isn’t a “one-technique” massage.
It’s intentional, therapeutic bodywork.

Book your session and experience the difference. 🤍

Hi everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share a quick clarification around communication and business hours.

I keep a separate business phone for Bodywork by Hannah Thurston, and while I welcome and encourage texting for appointment-related communication, I intentionally put that phone away outside of business hours. This allows me to protect personal and family time and to be fully present and regulated when I’m in session with clients.

All business communication is housed on this device — including calls, text messages, voicemails, Instagram DMs, Facebook messages, and business app notifications. I do not have business notifications connected to my personal phone.

As a small business owner, much of my work happens behind the scenes — charting, treatment planning, continuing education, scheduling, and administrative tasks — and setting clear communication windows helps me care for both my clients and myself sustainably.

My standard communication hours are: Monday–Friday | 9am–4pm

While there are times I may be able to respond outside of business hours, this isn’t always possible, particularly in the evenings, on weekends, or when I’m out of town. Messages sent outside of business hours are reviewed and responded to during the next business day.

Thank you for your understanding, patience, and respect for these boundaries. They allow me to continue offering thoughtful, high-quality, preventative-focused care to every client I work with.

Warmly,
Hannah T 🤍

It’s finally time. 🤍

For months now (since November 🥹) I’ve been quietly working on something that’s been on my heart for a long time — a new logo.

When I hinted that “a change is coming,” this is what I meant.

This isn’t just a rebrand. It’s a reflection.

The mountains represent where I come from — Gerrardstown, WV, in Glenwood Forest. My house was quite literally in the woods on a mountain. I was a typical barefoot West Virginia child, running free, grounded in nature, feeling safe and at home under the trees. The mountains have always symbolized strength and steadiness to me. Even in adulthood, living in different cities and states, I’ve always found myself near woods and mountains. Because that’s home. That’s where I feel grounded.

The cross is front and center for a reason. Just like Jesus is in my life and my marriage. HE is the reason any of this is possible. HE has been beside me through every high and every valley — even in seasons when I drifted. I’ve been through a lot in 32 years. I’ve worked hard. I’ve grown. I’ve overcome. But I’ve always said… I know Someone is watching over me.

People may hurt you. Jesus never does.

The olive branches represent peace — biblically inspired, but also a reflection of my love for nature and simplicity.

Designing this myself meant so much to me. Graduating with honors with my Bachelor’s degree in Communications, with an emphasis in Public Relations, is something I’m incredibly proud of. The graphic design, public relations, marketing, and media courses I took helped shape the way I think and create. After building my pamphlets and pouring into my content, I felt that spark again — and I wanted to put those skills to the test in a way that felt meaningful to this business. (And shoutout to my husband for reviewing approximately 47 million drafts 😅)

This logo feels like home.
It feels aligned.
It feels honest.

In no way am I saying I’m perfect. I never have and never will. I still believe in showing love and compassion to everyone. I believe we should treat all humans the same and just try to be better every day.

Learn, grow and love.
Life doesn't need to be any more complicated than that.

And if this business stands for anything, I hope it stands for that — faith, peace, growth, and caring for people the way we’re called to.

Thank you for being here. This is more than a logo. It’s everything that built me. 🤍

There are only 9 days left with availability this upcoming month.

If bodywork has been on your to-do list — don’t wait until you’re flared up to get on the schedule 🤍

Service providers are athletes in disguise. 🤍

Hours on our feet.
Rounded shoulders.
Overworked hands.
Regulating everyone else’s nervous system.

It adds up.

Loved getting to work on the amazing Skin By Naj 🔥 (go book a facial immediately 💯).

If your body is your business, maintenance isn’t optional.

Refill your cup.
Book with me.

7:30am in. ☀️
7:30pm out. 😮‍💨

I’m no stranger to 12-hour days — I’m just thankful they’re now spent doing something I love 🤍

My standard hours are: M–F | 9am–4pm

I do offer limited evening + weekend appointments for those who need them, like days like today! Fee is equal to the cost of service.

“Migraine, where?”

This client struggles with consistent headaches and migraines.

Since starting regular sessions, she’s noticed longer stretches without pain — but flare-ups still happen. Today was one of those days.

In her 60-minute session we focused on:

• Deep, restorative work to the right side (where symptoms were presenting)
• Targeted scraping
• Cupping therapy
• Ice application to calm inflammation
• Multiple craniosacral holds to relieve cranial pressure

By the end of the session, she was smiling with relief.

This is what preventative care looks like.
Not waiting until you’re desperate — but supporting your body consistently so flares are shorter, less intense, and more manageable.

If headaches are part of your “normal,” they don’t have to be. 🤍
Book your session.
