Vital Essence Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork

04/01/2026

I have a couple of openings left this Friday (Good Friday), which can be a great opportunity to get in if you’re off work or have a little extra flexibility that day.

My schedule overall has been staying pretty full, with only limited openings on other days as well.

If you’ve been meaning to book, you can grab one of the remaining Friday spots or find another time that works for you through my booking link or calling or texting me at 812-719-6804.

I've also opened up Saturday April 25th for those who need weekend appointments!

Your body is constantly working behind the scenes to keep things balanced.

One of the systems responsible for that is your lymphatic system — a network of vessels and nodes that helps move fluid, filter waste, and support your immune response.

Unlike your circulatory system, it doesn’t have a pump.
It relies on movement, breathing, and overall health to keep things flowing.

When that flow becomes sluggish or overwhelmed, it can start to show up in subtle ways.

You might notice:
• swelling or fluid retention
• puffiness (especially in the face, abdomen, or limbs)
• a feeling of heaviness or congestion
• slower recovery after illness, travel, or stress
• areas that don’t quite respond to traditional massage

Over time, when the body isn’t clearing fluid and waste efficiently, it can contribute to inflammation, discomfort, and that general feeling of being “off” in your body.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle, intentional way to support this system — helping guide fluid where it needs to go and encouraging your body back into a more natural rhythm.

This isn’t about forcing anything.
It’s about working with your body, not against it.

I’ve recently completed training in this work and will be offering it soon.

If your body has been feeling a little heavier, puffier, or just not quite like itself, this may be a really supportive addition to your care.

Therapeutic massage isn’t about using more pressure.

It’s about listening.

Listening to patterns.
To compensation.
To what your body is protecting.

Every session is customized. Every body is different.

If something has been nagging at you, this is your reminder that you don’t have to wait until it gets louder.

Added a Friday to the schedule ✨

A few openings over the next couple of weeks if your body has been asking for some attention.

Every session is customized to exactly what you need that day.

Message me or book online to grab a spot before they’re gone.

If you fall asleep during your massage, it usually means your body finally had a chance to relax.

It happens often and it's completely normal. Many people don't realize how much tension they are carrying until they finally slow down enough to release it.

If you drift off during your session, you're not the first and you definitely won't be the last.

Pregnancy changes everything.

Your posture.
Your center of gravity.
Your sleep.
Your nervous system.

Prenatal massage is designed to support those changes safely and intentionally.

Growing a human is a full-body experience.
You deserve support through it.

This is one of the most common questions people have before booking their first massage.

The answer is simple: you only undress to your comfort level.

Some people leave underwear on, some remove it. Throughout the entire session you are professionally draped with a sheet and blanket so only the area being worked on is uncovered.

Your comfort and privacy are always a priority.
