**Gentle Peach Update**

I’m traveling with my daughter this week to participate in a pediatric chronic pain program and will be unavailable for 6–8 weeks. Appointments and booking are paused while I’m away.

I plan to reopen in December and will post here to share dates. If you want first notice, please **DM “Waitlist.”**

**From my heart:** as someone passionate about helping others, not being able to lift my own child out of pain has been humbling and hard. I’m profoundly grateful for this community, for your prayers and check-ins, and for the extraordinary generosity—tips, keeping reservations in place, and even Venmo deposits for missed bookings.
We’ve found a care team we trust, and that gives me hope. Thank you for carrying us. 💛

In lymphatic care, every breath is a brushstroke. Watching a client’s body respond—layer by layer, moment by moment—is like seeing a masterpiece unfold.

It’s the subtle softening of swelling, the gentle return of movement, and the deep exhale that says, *“I feel lighter.”*
One breath at a time, the body paints its way back to balance.

Lymphatic care isn’t just technique—it’s connection, patience, and the art of honoring the body’s own rhythm. And witnessing that transformation? That’s the greatest work of art there is. 🎨💆‍♀️💚

I’m smiling a little brighter — because, as of Friday, The Gentle Peach is officially TWO YEARS old! 🎂🥂

Friday, I spent my morning with one of my awesome clients and my afternoon embracing change, documenting growth, and getting a little photo shoot prep with Lisa and Devin at Muse Salon, and photos by Nessa () through an event put together by Rachel Shereen Powers.

What started as a vision to bring gentle, intentional healing into the lives of women has grown into something so much more powerful than I imagined. Every session, every story, every moment shared in that sacred space — they’ve shaped this journey.

To my clients, friends, and community:
Thank you.
For trusting me with your care.
For showing up.
For allowing me to participate and witness your healing, your vulnerability, and your strength.

Here’s to breathing and healing deeply, more light and love, and following a path of purpose.

With deep gratitude,
Ruth Bea 🌿

Scar tissue: The body’s fast and messy repair crew.

When your body gets hurt, it doesn’t wait for the perfect materials—it grabs what it can and patches it up quick. That patch? Scar tissue. It’s like duct tape: strong, but not exactly graceful.

Over time, those internal “patches” can tug, tighten, or limit movement. But even old scars can soften, unwind, and restore better function—especially with gentle, precise techniques like MPS therapy (Microcurrent Point Stimulation).

💚 You don’t have to live with limited function or discomfort from an old scar.

C-section scars, for example, can affect more than just the skin—they can impact posture, digestion, core strength, and even how you breathe. Many people don’t realize their scar is still quietly pulling on the body. But with skilled work, we can help bring more comfort, mobility, and connection back to that area. (EVEN YEARS LATER!!!)

It’s not about erasing the scar.
It’s about helping the body remember wholeness.

A small reminder to take care of yourself. Feed your body, thoughtfully. Feed your mind, intentionally. Spend time with a friend or family member. Listen to your child as they tell you about their dreams and interests. Take a small walk. Drink your water. Breathe in the moment of rest.

Be kind to yourself.

I love how Chat gbt organizes our thoughts! Here's how it's organized today's conversation 🥰

“So what exactly do you do?”

It’s a fair question — and not always easy to answer.

Yes, I specialize in manual lymphatic drainage. But many clients come to me for pain, tension, or a feeling that their body just doesn’t feel right — especially after surgery, injury, illness, or trauma.

What I actually do is help the body remember how to heal.

Using a mix of orthopedic massage, nervous system work, lymphatic therapy, scar release, cranial techniques, and intuitive touch, I address pain at the root — not just where it hurts, but why it’s happening.

Sometimes that looks like decompressing the spine or calming the vagus nerve.
Sometimes it’s freeing up scar tissue or working gently through the pelvis or jaw.
Sometimes it’s just listening to what the body is trying to say — and giving it the space to respond.

It’s never one-size-fits-all.
It’s never just massage.
And it’s always guided by care, skill, and respect for everything your body has been through.

That’s what I do.
