This is one of the most beautiful Saturdays I have ever seen!
Oh my gosh; if the weather had to be described by one word, I would say PERFECT.

Please tell me YOU have gotten out and about today?
Don't miss it, friend.
It's absolutely life-giving out there.

I have had something on my mind to chat with yall about for quite awhile.
(Oh gosh- what now, right? 😂)

Well, it's a serious matter and I want to speak as a friend, out of concern and as a professional, out of care.

When I was in school for Massage Therapy,
one of the first lessons we were taught was:
"to treat the client as a person and not as a diagnosis."
Which means I am to treat YOU as YOU and not
as the Sciatic pain you may be feeling from time to time.
Or the Diabetes that you have.
The POTS you may have.
The Vertigo, Cancer, High Blood Pressure, Lymphadema, Degenerative Disc Disease, Arthritis, ADHD, Parkinson's-

Let me explain a little more.

One day I had a client sit in my massage chair and I had been working with her for almost 7 months.
And every single time she sat in that chair she started the conversation with:
" I'm sorry I'm late; my anxiety and Depression
are bad this week and I just forget."
And during the course of her session she mentioned HER anxiety and Depression at least every other sentence.
One day, I could no longer take hearing it.
I wasn't angry.
I was concerned and aware of the proclamation of symptoms of illness trying to become this person's entire life because she constantly dwelled in it.
(And by no means am I belittling or downplaying any health issue.
I have the utmost sympathy and compassion for every person dealing with any health concerns.)
I spoke up:
" Do you realize that since I have worked with you that you have mentioned YOUR anxiety and Depression at least 5 or more times in every conversation we've had?"

This statement completely stopped her in her tracks.
I could see the shock on her face.
She said:
" Oh my gosh. Have I really been talking like that? I never even realized it until you said something about it. I have been so consumed by these things that it's really all I think about."

I asked her to try an experiment.
To try to go at least an hour without mentioning Anxiety or Depression.
She looked at me and said:
" I'm not sure I will be able to.
It's been a part of my life for so long."

Friend.
I never want to sound cruel or mean or judgmental.
In no way am I speaking from a place other than love and care.
I have an extra special interest in mental health and I see what has started happening to folks; they are becoming a diagnosis.

You know what-
You may have Diabetes.
But that is an illness that is out of your control.
It is a malfunction of an organ to produce insulin in your body; it is not WHO YOU ARE.
STOP making it your life.
It is a piece of your life.
It can be treated, managed and you can live as healthy and vibrantly as the next person.
That is your choice.
There is always help if you make the investment.

Ok.
You have Arthritis.
It is not WHO YOU ARE.
That is a condition of the joints.
It can be managed.
You can treat the symptoms of Arthritis with Massage Therapy for temporary relief.
Movement is also excellent to halt the progression.
Heat, anti-inflammatories, water therapy.
But keep going!
Stop letting it become YOU.
Stop blaming it for life you are not living-
By your own choice.

You probably understand my concern by now.

Get ACTIVE.
Stay ACTIVE.
Life with INTENT.
Live WITH the symptoms; don't BECOME the illness!

Treat your mind with delicacy, importance and kindness.
When you allow yourself to continually dwell in negativity and thoughts that do not bring joy, it becomes YOU.
You may not even be aware of it.

I see YOU.
Not your symptoms.
I love YOU.
And your symptoms.
Let's treat YOU and this can help the symptoms.

Let me encourage you to keep pushing forward.
Whether it feels like it's through quicksand or through a field of sunflowers.

Aren't YOU worth that?

If you are feeling overwhelmed and consumed by health issues, reach out to health professionals.
We are here to help lift you up.
To pull you out of a consuming thought pattern that could become a lifestyle.

Because to me, you are worth it.

It really is true. Your environment has a huge effect on your mood, mind and overall health. Summer 2025 is wrapping up ...

It really is true.
Your environment has a huge effect on your mood, mind and overall health.

Summer 2025 is wrapping up quickly.
The James River State Park is having a few good "last celebrations" this weekend; star gazing, drum dancing, Labor Day festivities.
We hope to see you there!

The river guides will be leaving; one going back to Sweet Briar and the other headed back home to Lynchburg.
Volunteers leaving and going back home.
We will be closing a couple of the big campgrounds in December after they are "Winterized."

It's a long list of goodbyes....
I'm so sad to see people come and go.

But I know it's all about growth and phases of life.
We ALL play such an important role in each other's "day after day."
Even if only for a season.

Then I see affects of the different environments around me; that I chose to put myself in.
The park is always buzzing with projects.
Mowing, w**deating, building, sanding, chopping, digging, painting, repairing-
And my department is always cleaning.
Even year round, the cabins stay booked!
Busyness is a form of welcome distraction sometimes.

It is all still bittersweet to me.
The turnover.
Moving forward into a colder, darker season.
Yet if we didn't have it, how would we meet the next set of folks who are either lessons for us or blessings to us?
How would we be able to snuggle down into oversized, fuzzy 'everything' and feel warm?
How would we appreciate the next season returning?

Massage Therapy is a tool that can help you slow down and process emotions in a healthy way.
Hands-on techniques that are slow, gentle and uplifting for your physical self.
Soothing for your heart.
It's also a place to step back and let the world fly past you; even for a little bit.
An environment of peace, solitude and quiet.
These aspects strengthen your mental health.
These things build us instead of tearing us down.
Relaxing your overworked Central Nervous System when you have felt pulled in 100 different directions, day after day.
When your nerves are frayed and you feel jittery and jumpy, day after day.
All this wreaks complete havoc on your entire self, friend.
Day after day.

I really am surrounded.
By all things NATURE at the state park.
And by a gorgeous office space, offering all-natural and wholesome care to YOU.

It's all in HOW you look at it.
Bittersweet, long goodbyes with rapid turnover.
Or:
A chapter of a pretty damn beautiful life story-
Just turn the page.

Take sweet care, yall.
You are where you're meant to be.
For now.

Mornin folks!

I wanted to hop on here and talk about something.

I have noticed how incredibly hard it's getting for clients to move on the massage table.
By this I mean it is difficult and often painful for folks to roll over from a supine (back) position to a prone (stomach) position.

Yes, I understand that clients have gotten warm and relaxed.
This is my goal, so YAYYYY! 😂

But when it's time to change positions, clients often physically HURT.
And it takes them quite a bit of time.
They often apologize to me for this, but please don't worry!

If this happens to you, let me encourage you to
ask your GP for a referral to have some Physical Therapy!

Alot of these movement issues are just weakened muscles.
No, I'm not diagnosing every person;
I am saying that muscles get weaker as we age naturally.
And everyday tasks become harder and more painful.
Even the tasks we take may take for granted- such as getting up from a chair or the floor after playing with grandbabies; bending CORRECTLY to do chores such as switching wet clothes from the washer to the dryer when doing laundry, vacuuming without straining the lower back, static standing at the sink when washing dishes; other household chores, and changing positions in the bed become increasingly difficult and often painful.

If you are interested to get started, let me address a main concern about PT that I hear frequently from folks:
Worried about co-pays for PT sessions?
Why not ask the PT for a copy of exercises to do at home- you can absolutely do this.
All it takes is one or two visits for a proper, professional physical assessment by a Licensed/Doctorate Physical Therapist and they can give you homework!
But it is up to YOU to stay consistent and dedicate to the home exercises to build yourself UP.
Strength, mobility and flexibility is the name of the game, friend.

It is si important to be aware of your physical mobility and recognize your limitations.
I am telling you this because I see it in person and it doesn't have to have a negative affect on your life in the present or the future.

I know some AMAZING Physical Therapists if you need help to get started in the right direction; just ask me if you are ready to get started!

Also, I wanted to clarify the differences between Massage Therapy and Physical Therapy; as they are often confused.
We each have different goals for YOU and your movement and muscle health.

Physical Therapists are focusing on your ability to move with strength and full range of motion to fully function in everyday life.
They can give you exercises and tips to help you stay mobile and active!

Massage Therapy focuses on muscle tone, density and relaxing overstretched, overworked areas to increase range of motion and pain-free (as much as possible!) movement.

Why not add both therapies into your life?
"WE" are a powerful team, indeed.

Take sweet care yall.
See ya on the ride side of the bed! 😁

Good evening, folks.
A bit of a late post, I know.

I've been thinking about something for over (2) months now.
I have tried to hang in there as long as possible but it's time.

I'm going to be raising the prices of my massages.

Well-
Some of them will be raising; some are already what I want them to be- for now.

Going from renting a single room at an office to renting an entire office is quite a hop, skip and jump... 😂

20 min= $20

*I have vibration tools that I have been utilizing
during massages currently plus I will be adding a couple of new tools if you are interested to try:

Vibrating Knee Pads:

WHAT do you do between clients?!

Clean.
Walk.
Workout.
Stretch.
Water/Care for plants.
Puzzles.
Read.
Front porch rockin.

What about YOU?

Please, please don't just say scroll Facebook.

It's ok to have social media time.
I do it myself!
To get messages out there.
Not to be sedentary for hours.

Let me encourage YOU-
Make wise, healthy choices with every minute of your day; I know it can be overwhelming.
Simply do the best you can to live a more vibrant life.

08/25/2025

Not sure if I have gotten "ENOUGH" rest this weekend, but I am sure it's been a glorious weekend.

And Sundays never let me down.
That's my day to devote to the good Lord.
To family.
To restocking.
Meal prepping.
Laundry "warshin" and dryin.
Uniform cleaning.
Exercisin.
Snackin.
Chillin.
AKA: Rechargin.

Early, EARLY this morning, I was grocery shopping.
I'm excited for the breakfast(s) I have in mind.
Egg, spinach and potato scramble.
Chicken Maple sausage.
And then I'll switch it up with the Kodiak buttermilk pancakes and Chicken Maple sausage; some locally made honey on those pancakes for natural sweetness.
You know that breakfast sets your entire tone for the day?

While sleeping (6+) hours a night, your body is going through major processes- yes; even as you are completely still and snoozing.

Your muscles are being repaired from the day's stress, strain and micro-breakdown.
Your body systems are repairing, replenishing, filtering, flushing all the stuff you need and getting rid of all the stuff you don't need.

Those puffy eyes in the morning?
Sure- allergies play a role.
But your Lymphatic system is trying to flush out toxins and you may have excess.

The stiffness in your joints?
Your body and fluids settle at night.
And can "pool" in one area.
Then here we go, trying to get up from an dead sleep-
Your joints have ro catch up FAST!
But they can't-
Therefore the achy, crampy stiffness you feel.

Those processes that are going on throughout the night, are MAJOR.
They are crucial for your existence, friend.
And you need to replenish your fuel supply;
eat breakfast!

I also found some delicious granola with Flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, and I'm tossing in cranberries too.
This is also delicious mixed in Greek yogurt.
A great quick snack during the day.
Lots of protein.

Got my hands in the dirt a little.
I was able to transfer some Pathos clippings into bigger pots.
I really have no idea what I'm doing as far as growing "things".
But it's been pretty cool being able to watch plants grow that do well from a simple clipping.
And the greenery is so beautiful decorating a space.

Bible Study with the fam.
Oh my goodness; tacos for dinner before studying Exodus.
Tonight we learned about Moses being born to his Hebrew mother who saved his life by placing him in a wicker basket and floating him down the Nile river.
He was found by the Egyptian Pharoah's daughter who later raised Moses as her own son; even though he was a Hebrew.

One of my favorite sights is the little pond in a cow pasture off Bull Hill in Red House.
The sunsets beautifully over the pond.

Why not celebrate an incredible day with a little homemade ice cream?
Oreo Double Fudge Cakesters-
We are here for the party.

This weekend I had some real-life moments with a couple of folks.
Misunderstandings were explained;
Apologies were dealt.
Adults handled issues as adults; it was very responsible and ended peacefully and friendships grown stronger through good communication.
The page was turned and the fresh new week starts tomorrow.

Here's to being perfectly IM-perfect.
It's all about the journey, right?

Take sweet care everyone; remember to think before reacting, communicate with one another when you don't understand and boost each other UP.

08/23/2025

Happy Saturday to YOU!

Feels a little like Fall out there if you ask me.
It might be ok-
I know the colors are absolutely magnificent during the Fall.
So, I guess it'll do.

I was very impressed to see the large amount of folks out at the James River State Park this weekend.
Bikes everywhere!
Folks floating down the river to their hearts delight.
Tents of all sizes and colors and set-ups.
Campers, Glampers, grillers and chillers.
That's right- soak every single minute UP.

There was also a bit of shenanigan-ism happening too!
It was probably pretty humorous to see and hear how many people walked by the office and said: " Hey, how ya doin?" to this employee today.

Myself being the person who usually tries to carry on a full conversation while cleaning.
Then I wonder:
"Why aren't they responding to me?"

Because it's a CPR mannequin.
Dressed in full park ranger uniform.

It was actually hilarious when I realized what was going on.
And even more funny when I found out the people who sat this guy up even got distracted and said hello to him in passing.

The mood is always light and cheerful at the state park.
No matter the day or even the weather.
We all seem to naturally lift each up somehow.
Whether it's helping one another with park duties, leaving hand-written happy birthday cards and encouraging notes, sharing snacks, telling life stories, jokes, little pranks-
it is an incredible group.

The assistant manager received lots of
"girl scout badges" from me as I noticed her standing at her Flexi-Desk today.
It was still early morning and she could have easily sat to get started-
But she was standing happily and humming away as the click-click-tap-click of the keyboard wafted down the hall.
I immediately applauded her and asked if I could take a picture to encourage my clients.
She was more than delighted.
Thank you, for being a team player, Megan!
Congratulations on those excellent healthy adaptations!

Everywhere I go.
Everyone I meet-
Eventually gets tired
Of throbbing, achy feet.
Low backs that spasm
And tighten up quick!
Munching on processed food and snacks;
Making them bloated and sick.
Yes, it seems overwhelming!
This much I know is true.
But who better to take care
Of You-
Than YOU?!
Start one small change at a time.
Give yourself time and grace.
Pretty soon you'll notice
A permanent habit taking place.
These days are not slowing down
And friend, you're not getting younger.
I'm sorry to break it to you;
And be the one to steal your "thunder".
I'm here to light a fire
And boost your love of life!
I'm here to encourage your best self-
For your family, friends, husband and wife.
Now is the time to really invest
And break the "old" mold of you;
Imagine how good the new version will feel-
And how much you will adore YOU!

Take sweet care everybody; be perfectly human, lift one another and live FULL, VIBRANT days.

08/22/2025

Oh my, my, MY!!
I have fallen in love with a new snack!

Usually I am quite intimidated all the varieties of "butters" out there.
I do know that peanut butter was starting to give me intense headtburn; something that has never happened before.

I also know that I am looking for something that is quick to snack on, has a good amount of protein and low on the unnecessary JUNK.
Fitting these requirements is not such an easy task.

This Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Fit Butter has won my heart.

Don't let the name fool you; I thought the same thing when I saw the words Sugar Cookie..
But the ingredients are:
Dry roasted cashews
Dry roasted almonds
Cinnamon Sugar Cookie Vegan Protein powder:
(Pea protein, brown rice protein, natural flavors, Sucralose)
Coconut oil
Erythritol
Cinnamon

Only (20mg) of sodium.
Total sugars: (1g)
Added sugars: (0g)
Sugar alcohol: (3g)
Protein: (7g)

It is pricey; I paid $14 for it at Walmart.
But it is thick, naturally sweet, a bit crunchy and eating this on apple slices keeps me full for about 3 hours.

Health is what you do for yourself to improve the outside but most importantly is nourishing the INSIDE.

Eat well to stay well; be active and have fun yall.
Happy weekend!

08/22/2025

Oh mannnn.....
It's gonna be Fall soon.
Then it's gonna be Winter.

My least favorite times of the year.
You know why?

Because people bring their sicknesses, colds, Flu and Covid out here to get massages.
Pretty inconsiderate, huh?

Well, it happens more than ever when the weather gets cold and all the germs hit.

Folks.
This is Massage Therapy.
You can always reschedule if you are feeling bad.
If you are sick- and I mean coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose, chills, feverish-
I WILL NOT SEE YOU.
It is not safe.
You are not only spreading your sickness to me but then I work with many clients after you who are at risk.
And I see my family and take the risk to spread illness to them as well.

I am not sorry to say these things because people continue to do them.

Massage Therapy is a relaxing tool.
If you are sick, it can actually hinder your recovery.
Do everyone a favor; take care of yourself.
At home.

Take care yall; I hope I am speaking professionally and clearly.
It's not about taking chances with anyone's health just to get a massage.

08/21/2025

You want another reason to get OUTSIDE?!
Just look at the beautiful things to see-
These are some of the most captivating moths that my friend and I have seen while working at the park lately.

I bet I have told almost every single client that I work with how much working at the
James River State Park has improved my life.

Here's some of those ways:
Not only is it hard physical work, but it's exposing me to things I would not ever be exposed to in my everyday lifestyle.
Weather:
Sunshine
Rain
Wind
Snow
Ice
Heat
Cold
I mean we are OUT in this weather when we work; not just looking at it from the inside.
Building our tolerance; exposure to vitamin D;
Learning about patterns of mother nature.

Animals:
Bears/bear Cubs
Deer
Snakes
Bees
Squirrels
Opossums
Beavers
Skunks
Spiders
These things we often come within 15 feet of while cleaning.

Exercise/Weights/Resistance:
Yes, we all vacuum, sweep, mop and clean at home.
But try carrying all this equipment in and out of buildings, cabins, etc. ALL DAY long.
I'm jumping up into big work vehicles and down out of them.
Lugging equipment up hills, down hills, around and about steps, porches, valleys, etc.
That kinda hits different....

Team Management/Participation/Problem Shooting/Triaging Issues To the Proper Chain of Command:
How many times I have whipped out my own tools and actually FIXED things around cabins lately!
It's the best feeling to be self-sufficient.
Learning how to use tools; learning how to repair common household appliances, furnitiure, etc.
Sometimes though, you just have to call the big dawgs for professional help.
There's no shame in that game!

PEACE/CLARITY/CALM:
You know what?
After 10 years of being a Licensed Massage Therapist, travelling all over Va. doing massages, working in a salon setting, spa setting, a Chiropractic office and now my own office, I still get horribly nervous working with clients.
My hands turn into squares of ice.
I call it excitement, but honestly it's anxiety too.
There's ALOT of pressure when working with the public.
You never know who you are meeting and working with; then you're praying they continue to come back because your entire financial world depends on clients.

When I clock in and get to work at the park, it all dissolves like sugar cubes in hot tea.
I never get nervous.
I am energized!
I wake up before the sun without an alarm clock.
I am happy to be heading down 26 to 60 to River Rd.
Things run as smooth as butter spread on a hot biskit.
I can take FULL breaths and feel as free as a bird.
That is indescribable!
And it gives my brain a BREAK from anxious feelings, worry, and restlessness.

Today, I found a new book to read.
There is an area in the park where guests often donate/give books, games and movies away.
Check this out!
A nonfiction story written by a man who quit his fulltime job as a Colorado river guide to tour the world with his best friend, a photographer for National Geographic magazine.
I think I'm in Heaven.

All of these are an building me in some way every single day.
What about YOU?

In what ways are you building yourself?
How are you strengthening yourself and improving your lifestyle for the better?
Trying any "exposure therapy" to bust you out of your rut?

The solution for well-rounded physical, mental and emotional development might not be working at a state park for you.
Please, don't worry about a thing.
I am just sharing my experiences to boost others.
I do want to encourage you to seek ways OUTSIDE the box that will develop all of you.

Before long, it will be a habit to look for the beauty in the everyday as well!

Take sweet care; remember to live with intention!

Good mornin. You still trying to wake up too?Let me tell ya. Yesterday was another HOT one, won't it?I still had to get ...
08/19/2025

Good mornin.
You still trying to wake up too?

Let me tell ya.
Yesterday was another HOT one, won't it?
I still had to get my exercise in- somehow.

I was able to walk (10) minutes in-between every client yesterday on this (mini) treadmill in my back room.

At the end of the day, I had walked a total of (70) minutes.
And it didn't even feel like I had done a thing!
I wasn't exhausted this morning.
I wasn't sore this morning.
It was actually better waking up; my mood was lighter and I am already focused on getting ready for the day quicker.

The one time I only had about (5) minutes between clients, I was able to drink water, brush my teeth and reapply lotion to my arms and legs and do some foot/ankle/calf stretches.

All self-care.

You really have no EXCUSES, friend.
You don't need a treadmill or hand and leg weights in your back room.
You can get amazing cardio and weight/resistance training sitting right where you are.
Simply raising arms and squeezing hands and seated marching!

Bruce Lee is known all over the world for his incredible fitness, stamina and muscle tone.
He used his own body weight for about 90% of his routines.

I just want to encourage folks to do things to help them feel better; the mental health of the world around us is struggling to maintain it seems.
To improve your quality of life.
And to be an encouragement to the young folks who are coming up behind us.
I have a (10) year old niece who is absolutely into everything that moves-and FAST.
I don't want to be the "old aunt who always sat and never played" to her when she remembers growing up.
What about YOU?

I practice what I preach.
And I'm in love with life.
It's very, very hard- this thing called life.
But can you think of anything else more WORTH the effort than yourself and your loved ones?

If you don't want to improve your quality and quantity of life for you- do it for your family.

Anyway.
I have some protein packed breakfast waiting on me now that I'm done walking.
The (600+) muscles and the (205) bones in your body will reap all the benefits!

See yall later; take sweet care of yourself-
Remember to set a healthy example for the young' uns comin up behind you.

You know.
I believe in using a fine mix of chemicals versus a homemade recipe for different things in life.

Working at the James River State Park in the Housekeeping department definitely requires using harsher, STRONGER chemical cleaners.
Bleach bring the top cleaning agent.
Which is needed due to the amount of folks that come through there; and alot of guests bring dogs and horses to camp in certain areas of the state park.
Lots of people traveling from different areas of the state bringing lots of germs.

Then there are areas and times when I believe in making homemade cleaners that use less harsh ingredients for general use.

Here at my office, the w**ds are almost taking over the sidewalk.
Good ole WEEDS.

Being a huge fan of DIY projects, I found a recipe for homemade w**d killer and tried it out.
Dawn dish liquid, table salt, distilled white vinegar.

After one day of saturating the w**d patches and letting the mixture sit in full sun, the w**ds were already brown and "crunchy".

Plus, I absolutely love the smell of Dawn dish liquid.
(Only the blue will do.. 😂)

I was away the entire weekend doing a Chair Massage event so the w**ds along the sidewalk only received one hefty dose of this homemade spray early this past Friday morning.
That made a total of (3) days of homemade w**d killer along the patches on the sidewalk.
Everything is brown now.

The entire recipe cost: $5.
I bought everything at the Dollar Tree, believe it or not.
And I'm SOLD.
It works great!

The same for health care.

There is a time to try DIY solutions at home to help yourself feel relief from pain, soreness or stiff joints.
Looking up stretches to release a sore lower back-
Making your own heat pack with rice and tube socks are excellent examples of ways to help relieve painful body parts.
These would be considered DIY.
( Do It Yourself).

But friend-
When your pain starts becoming debilitating.
Your job is being affected.
You are losing sleep; your appetite is changing and so is your whole mood-
It's time to go PRO.

Please understand that pain is your body's signal to YOU.
To decrease what you are doing; don't completely stop (YET).
To modify it to a comfort level that is better for you.
To rest more.
Ice painful areas.
Use heat for sore, stiff areas.

But!
If your pain continues or gets worse after a week or two of homemade remedies-
STOP what you are doing and seek outside advice and care.

Massage Therapy could be considered in both categories.
It is all-natural.
Using no pills, steroids, surgical intervention.

Yet it can use massage tools, medicated creams, heat, cold and electrical stimulation.

Here's to a fabulous mix of all things in life!
