You don’t need to ‘earn’ rest.
Not by pushing through pain.
Not by overworking.
Not by waiting until you’re falling apart.

Barefoot Massage isn’t just for when you’ve “earned” a break -
It’s maintenance.
It’s care.
It’s a way to stay well, not just fix what’s broken.

So go ahead, book the session.
Not because you’re at your limit…
But because you’re allowed to care for yourself before you get there.

😫 Waking up sore & stiff? It’s not just age, it’s muscle memory in action.

You’re not just getting older. That stiffness you feel in the morning? It’s often the result of muscle holding patterns... those little bits of tension your body grips onto day after day.⁠

When you sleep, your body finally gets quiet, but that doesn’t mean your muscles stop clenching. Over time, those patterns can build up and leave you feeling tight and achy when you wake up.⁠

✨ Here’s the good news: Barefoot Massage can help “reset” those holding patterns. It’s like hitting the refresh button on your body, so you don’t start every day feeling like you slept on a pile of rocks.⁠

💬 Curious if that stiffness could be from tension your body’s been holding onto?

"My low back hurts…shouldn’t you focus working on my back only?"
Not necessarily! 👇

Low back pain doesn’t always start in the low back.

More often, the real culprits are:
🔹 Tight hip flexors pulling your pelvis forward
🔹 Overworked or inactive glutes
🔹 Short, tight hamstrings tugging from below

When these muscles are out of balance, your low back ends up doing way more than it’s built for. (And it lets you know, loudly. 😣)

That’s why I often work on the hips, glutes, and legs…even if your pain is showing up in your back. It’s all connected.

💡 You don’t have to know what to ask for. Just tell me what you’re feeling, and I’ll take care of the rest.

What’s the difference between soreness and injury? 🤔

It’s totally normal to feel a little sore after a barefoot massage...especially if I worked on tight, stuck areas.

That kind of soreness usually feels like:
🔸 Mild achiness in the muscles
🔸 Tenderness when touched
🔸 Lasts a day or two, then fades
🔸 Feels better with movement, stretching, or heat

That’s your body adjusting to increased circulation and muscle release. ✅

But if you feel:
⚠️ Sharp, stabbing pain
⚠️ Numbness or tingling
⚠️ Pain that gets worse over time
⚠️ Limited movement that doesn’t improve

…those may be signs of an injury that needs medical attention.

✨ My goal is always to help you feel better, not beat you up.

If you're ever unsure, just ask. Open communication helps us get the best results safely and effectively!

💥 That nagging ache in your low back?
👀 it might be your QL (Quadratus Lumborum) throwing a fit.

This deep core stabilizer gets cranky from:
🪑 Too much sitting
💼 Carrying bags on one side
🛏️ Sleeping like a pretzel
🏋️ Overdoing it at the gym (or underdoing it, let’s be real)

The good news?
Barefoot Massage can help calm it down, release the tension, and get you moving pain-free again. 🙌

🎯 If you're feeling tight in your lower back or hips, let’s check in with that QL - it might be trying to tell you something.

I’m not here to chase symptoms. I’m here to help you heal.

Sure, I can help you feel better today, but what I really care about is how you feel next week, next month, and long-term.

I want your barefoot massage to be more than just a quick fix.
🌀 I want it to be part of your plan to move better, feel stronger, and recover faster.
🧠 That’s why I’ll always take the time to explain what I’m doing, and why.
👣 And it’s why I may recommend stretches, movement, hydration, or even changes to your routine.

Temporary relief is great... but lasting progress? That’s the real goal. 💪

Your body isn’t a project to “fix.”
It’s a system to support! And I’m here for the long haul.

Hi, hello, good morning (afternoon or evening)! I just wanted to pop in here with a hello and update. We’ve still got weeks left of summer but with August coming quickly I’m feeling the pinch of the transition to school-time routines and fall (my personal favorite season🍂). This summer has been super busy, but also filled with some much needed slow days taking an extra day off here and there with the switch to summertime childcare schedules. I am excited to be getting back to my regular schedule of two days in Findlay and two days in Tiffin starting in September. If you’ve been thinking about reaching out for PT to take care of yourself now is a great time to get it scheduled as the kiddos transition back to school over the next month.
You can feel better in your body, you can cough- laugh-sneeze-jump-etc without leaks, you can heal your ab separation, you can control the urge to have to p*e so you don’t feel like you’re going all. the. time., you can be intimate without having pain, you can get help figuring out that pesky consistent hip or back or pelvic pain, you can prepare for your birth whether vaginal, VBAC or C-section to feel confident and ready, you can heal from your birth and feel confident getting back into exercise and movement, you can, you can, you can! I’d love to help you on your path to understanding your body more and feeling better with any activity you want to participate in. Please feel free to comment below or send a message and we can figure out best next steps for scheduling an evaluation. You can also reach out via phone or email from the information in my bio/website. I cannot wait to work together with you!
Also big shout out to 📷who took this photo and so many great others for a little update for She Blooms PT (how has it been almost 6 years?!)🩷🌸

☀️Mobility Monday☀️

🌀 Mini Mobility Tip: Loosen Up Your Low Back!
Sitting too much? Try this simple move to ease tension and improve mobility in your low back:

Knees-to-Chest Stretch
👉 Lie on your back
👉 Gently pull both knees toward your chest
👉 Hold for 20–30 seconds, breathing deeply
👉 Repeat 2–3 times

This stretch helps decompress your spine and relax tight lower back muscles. Try it morning and night!

✨ Your low back will thank you.

Only booking barefoot massage when you're already hurting?
It’s one of the most common mistakes I see…and it keeps you stuck in the same frustrating cycle of pain ➡️ relief ➡️ pain again. 😩

But here’s the truth:
Barefoot Massage works best when you don’t wait for a flare-up.

✨ Consistent care helps you:
✅ Recover faster
✅ Move with more freedom
✅ Prevent injuries before they start

Like one of my clients said:

“I used to wait until I was in so much pain I could hardly walk. Now I come every 4 weeks and I haven’t had a major flare-up in months.”

So ask yourself:
📅 When’s your next barefoot massage?
If it’s not on the calendar yet, let’s fix that today.

Your body doesn’t just deserve relief, it deserves to feel great before things go wrong.
