Thank you to all of my amazing clients! 🖤 Today is the last day Malachite will be open in Sumner and while I'm excited for what the future holds for my practice, moving away from all of the fantastic people I've had the pleasure of working with is pretty heartbreaking. I've been so lucky to meet and work with all of you and I wish everyone health, happiness and joy in your future.

Remember to hydrate, stretch and practice belly breathing. I'll work on that as well! 😏😆 And I'm always available to brainstorm care and answer questions so call, text or message me if you want to.

Thanks again friends and come see me on the other side of the mountains!

A healthy life is continual growth.

Progress is rarely linear. Patience with our body, mind, and soul is imperative to stay positive during the times where we feel like we are going backwards or have hit a plateau.

Sometimes progress feels painfully slow. While it's true we should keep our focus on where we are trying to go, its also important to look back every once in awhile to recognize the distance we've come.

What we look for, is what we find. 🖤

Practicing a positive and grateful mindset isn't always easy, especially when dealing with chronic pain. But training ourselves to look for the good in each day and our lives in general, sets our thought patterns on a course to recognize the positive things more quickly. Seeing the good rather than the negative may not make our body feel better right away, but studies have shown that a positive outlook is better for our heart health, improves our immune response, and reduces depression, which can help those hard days be a bit easier.

Taking the time to clarify our goals for our physical, emotional, spiritual, mental, and financial health is the first step. It can bring to light the gaps between where we are currently and where we'd like to be. Then we can ask ourselves what we can do today, to be closer to the life we desire. 🖤

Without growth we become stagnant. Sometimes it's a health or physical pain issue that is our challenge, other times it's emotional pain or a place we are feeling stuck in our lives. *Sometimes* it's both, which is exhausting and can be isolating. But there is always a lesson, no matter how long it takes to decipher what that is.

Keep a support system and practice both patience and diaphragmatic breathing. Our diaphragm increases our immune system when we fully engage it by belly breathing. There are many good videos on YouTube or your Massage Therapist can guide you. The diaphragm contracts and massages the Cisterna Chyli and other lymphatic structures, stimulating lymph drainage and flow especially from our lower extremities. Belly breathing can also relieve neck pain, as our Scalene muscles in our neck assist in shallow breathing and when we are stressed and stuck in "fight or flight" they are not able to relax and release.

Practice looking for opportunities for self-care and growth with the stresses of each day and be good to your body. Why just go through it when you can grow through it.

Inactivity leads to illness and any step towards a more active life, no matter how small it may be, improves our physical health and gives us a more positive mindset.

04/04/2022

Correcting our posture by being mindful, setting daily goals for water intake, getting an hour more of sleep a night... there are many small things we can do daily that add up to increased health with time.

🎉🎊 Happy New Year! 🎊🎉

2021 was a difficult year for many of us and called for a fresh look for the new year. To celebrate my amazing clients, I did a complete room makeover and am giving away a 60 minute massage! Starting a business last year was a big undertaking and I wanted to say thank you to the many people who helped me get started. I sent an announcement text to all of my clients this morning and used a random name drawing app to draw a winner.

***CONGRATULATIONS TO CHARLIE GURNEY!!***

You've won the free 60 minute massage to use for yourself or give to someone else! Thank you for supporting Malachite Massage & Wellness!

Let's make 2022 a year of self-care, kindness and hope!
