To my fellow California Massage Therapists 🤍

As of January 1, 2026, CAMTC-certified massage therapists are officially recognized as health care providers under California law.

This is a major step forward for legitimate, professional therapists in our state.

✔️ CAMTC certification is now legally protected
✔️ Our role is recognized alongside other health care providers
✔️ Stronger professional and legal standing
✔️ Increased protection for both therapists and the public

While we’re still learning what this will fully entail, it’s an important milestone for our profession and one worth acknowledging.

Honored to serve patients through care rooted in integrity, professionalism, and rest.

Massage Pressure vs. Style

I am not a fan of “no pain, no gain.”
I want your nervous system to feel safe—because that’s how real work gets done.

I blend my real life with my work.
Gardens. Granny hobbies. Things that amuse me.
A peek into the beautiful chaos I create outside the studio 🌿🧶🐝

But let’s talk massage—because not all pressure is created equal.

Most people say they like heavy-handed work…
but heavy doesn’t always mean effective.

Here’s the breakdown 👇🏼

✨ Firm Work
Steady, consistent pressure.
Grounding. Relaxing. Great for stress relief and general muscle tension.
It feels deep, but it’s really about rhythm and flow—not forcing tissue.

✨ Myofascial Release
This is where the magic lives.
Slow. Intentional. Sometimes deceptively gentle.
It works with the fascia (the connective tissue that wraps everything) to release restriction, improve mobility, and reduce pain.
I can often get deeper results here than with heavy pressure—without your body fighting back.

✨ Deep Tissue
Targeted, therapeutic work on deeper layers of muscle.
Helpful when done correctly—but it doesn’t mean grinding, bracing, or holding your breath.
True deep tissue should feel productive, not punishing.

✨ Important note:
Pain does not equal progress.
Your nervous system has to feel safe for real, lasting change to happen.

Massage isn’t about how hard I push—
it’s about how well your body responds.

If you’ve ever said,
“I like deep pressure, but I don’t want to be sore for days,”
you’re my people 🤍

✨ New Patient Special ✨

3 Massages for $185
(Normally $95–$125 per session)

This package is non-transferable — one person must use all three sessions.

I offer this deeply discounted package on your first visit only.
Why?
• It gives you the opportunity to meet your therapist (me) and see if my style is the right fit for you.
• And for those who continue, three sessions is often the magic number to move into true maintenance and consistent self-care.

✨ Important to know:
• Packages and discounted treatments are only offered during quarterly specials — this is the only time they’ll be available.
• I do occasionally run flash deals if my schedule lightens up or if I’m focusing on a specific modality — those will always be shared in stories, so keep an eye out.

If you’ve been saying “I really need to get back into self-care” — this is your sign.

Gentle Healing After Surgery

(Lipo & Tummy Tuck Recovery Tips)

In the first weeks after surgery, your body is tender and still adjusting. That’s why lymphatic drainage should feel soft and soothing—almost like gentle petting. Anything deeper can be too much, too soon.

The goal is simply to help guide swelling and fluid toward your lymph nodes, where your body naturally processes it.

⸻

✨ Tips for a Smooth Recovery ✨
1. Light Touch Only
Movements should feel feather-light, never painful.
2. Fluid Direction
Gentle sweeps guide fluid toward the armpits, collarbone, and groin—your main lymph “filters.”
3. Follow Your Plan
Wear your compression garment, walk a little each day, and stay hydrated to support healing.
4. Don’t Rush
Deep tissue or strong pressure is not safe early on. Your tissues need time to knit and settle.

⸻

🌿 Remember: Healing is a process. Trust your body, and let the gentle work do its job. I’m always here to guide you and adjust care as you progress.

✨ Holistic Healing & Post-Op Care ✨
📍 Fallbrook | Temecula Valley

Post-op lymphatic drainage is very specific, very gentle work — and it is ALWAYS hands only.

This is not body contouring.
This is not deep tissue.
This is not the time for tools, machines, vibration, heat, radio frequency, or pressure.

💧 This is Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD).

After surgery, the lymphatic system is overwhelmed. It’s responsible for clearing excess fluid, inflammation, anesthesia byproducts, and cellular waste — and surgery temporarily disrupts that flow.

The goal of post-op lymphatic drainage is simple but critical:
👉 Support the body’s natural healing process without stressing fragile tissue.

Why hands only?
Post-surgical tissue is vulnerable. Capillaries are delicate, internal healing is still happening, and aggressive techniques can:
• Increase inflammation
• Damage healing tissue
• Delay recovery
• Create fibrosis (hardened scar tissue)
• Push fluid the wrong direction

Gentle, rhythmic, intentional touch is the safest and most effective way to guide lymph fluid during this phase.

✨ The role of lymphatic massage in recovery:
Manual lymphatic drainage is a light, specialized technique that encourages lymph flow and helps clear excess fluid — without compressing or traumatizing healing areas.

Benefits include:
• Reduced swelling
• Faster, more efficient healing
• Less discomfort and tightness
• Improved mobility
• Lower risk of fibrosis and adhesions

⏳ When does post-op lymphatic drainage begin?
• Typically 2 days after liposuction
• Around 1 week after abdominoplasty or facelift
(always with surgeon guidance and individual healing in mind)

⚠️ This work should only be done by a therapist trained in post-surgical lymphatic drainage. Technique, pressure, and sequencing matter.

There will be a time later — with medical clearance — for light, RF, or contouring support if appropriate.
But early healing is about patience, precision, and protection.

Healing isn’t rushed.
It’s supported.
And the lymphatic system leads the way. 🤍

Loose or sagging skin?
Let’s tighten, tone, and support your skin—naturally.

⚠️ Important note:
This is NOT immediate post-op work.
For surgical recovery, please see my lymphatic drainage / post-op posts.
✨ Hands-only work is required until you receive a medical release for light and/or radio-frequency treatments.

✨ Client note: This patient is two years post-op.

✨ Non-invasive. Progress, not perfection.

✨
This work is about making lifestyle changes and improving the health of your skin first — before surgery or bigger decisions are made, or long after healing when the body is ready for deeper support.

✨ Body Contouring Special ✨
• Package of 6 treatments — $400
• Normally $125 per session

Each treatment includes:
🔥 New laser / LED / near-infrared mat
⚡ 5-minute vibration plate pre-treatment
⚡ 5-minute vibration plate post-treatment
💧 Lymphatic drainage to reduce inflammation and support detox
✨ Scar tissue work to help break up adhesions and improve texture
✨Radio Frequenxy
✨RF Lymphatic Drainage
✨Ultrasonic Cavitation

Non-invasive. No downtime.
Supports collagen, skin elasticity, lymphatic flow, and proactive skin healing — especially while your body is changing.

✨ Body contouring isn’t just about fat loss ✨
Sometimes it’s about restoring movement in the tissue, breaking up old scar patterns, softening stretch marks, and helping your skin reconnect and lift.

📆 Recommended: 6–12 sessions

This client started with a 4-pack — and look at the progress already.
The scar is shrinking, the belly button is lifting, and the overall texture is smoothing beautifully. 🪄

I occasionally offer sample packs so people can try it before committing…
but they almost always book more. 😉

Reset Ritual ✨

Start the year with clarity.
Solo coffee.
Quiet mornings.
Journaling before the noise finds you.

Instead of writing a list of everything you think needs fixing…
Try this instead:

✍️ Write who you’re becoming.
Not who you’re apologizing for.
Not who you’re “working on.”
But the version of you that already feels grounded, honest, and aligned.

Growth doesn’t always start with hustle.
Sometimes it starts with stillness, intention, and a warm mug in your hands.

This is your reset.
No pressure.
Just presence. 🤍

Your business isn’t going to be for everyone —
and that’s okay.

But your business is going to be for a lot of people.
And those are the people you keep showing up for.

I say this often: I am not the therapist for everyone.
Sometimes it’s energy. Sometimes it’s my light. Sometimes it’s my approach or my work.

And that’s okay — because those very same things are what attract my perfect clients. 🤍

I’ve been incredibly blessed in my career through referrals, word of mouth, and the relationships that have turned into lifelong friendships. That doesn’t happen by accident. It happens when alignment is right.

I’m also humble enough to know that what I offer isn’t a one-size-fits-all. I genuinely encourage people to find what works best for them — the practitioner, space, and style that makes their body feel safe and supported.

There is room for all of us.
And when you find your people, it just flows. ✨

Post-Op Care 🤍

I am all for whatever helps you feel better about yourself.

After quarantine, when surgery centers reopened, I saw a huge influx of bookings for lymphatic drainage. As my career has evolved, so has my love for helping people help themselves. Early on, I did a great deal of pre- and post-operative work in medical offices—and that’s where my passion for injury recovery and lymphatic drainage truly took root.

Along my path, I began doing extensive post-op care following mastectomies—when women are often at their most vulnerable. Being able to support someone during that chapter, through reconstruction, healing, and finding themselves again (or meeting a new version of themselves), remains incredibly close to my heart. Through that work, I’ve built lasting friendships and received many patient referrals, which I’m deeply grateful for.

I always encourage clients to speak with their surgeons about recovery timelines and when lymphatic drainage is appropriate to begin—every doctor is different. I work hands-only until a release is given, and only then do we thoughtfully incorporate light treatments or radio frequency if appropriate. I’ve seen work online that feels counterintuitive, and I will always rely on my education, experience, and the body’s cues to provide gentle, effective care.

✨ Post-Op Specials ✨
• 3 visits for $225 — $75 per session (normally $135)
• 6-pack for $400

If you’re preparing for surgery or navigating recovery, I’m here to support you—safely, thoughtfully, and with care.

🤍
