There's so much more than meets the eye of being a massage therapist. Every word written here is true:
Massage Therapy Isn’t Easy.

This work—this calling—is more than just helping someone relax.
It’s physical. It’s emotional. It’s soul work.

Every day, we show up and give parts of ourselves to help others heal.
We carry your pain—sometimes literally in our hands, sometimes silently in our hearts.
Our backs ache, our joints swell, and our energy runs low… but we stay grounded, focused, and present—because we know the power of this work.

What people don’t always see is what it takes to hold space for someone’s healing:
To feel the tension of trauma trapped in their muscles
To hear the tears hit the floor when the body finally lets go
To witness someone rediscover their breath, their range of motion, their sense of peace.
To remain calm and regulated while someone else unravels
To manage our own stress, exhaustion, grief, or pain—so we don’t pour it into you
To spend our off hours stretching, icing, and soaking so we can show up for you again tomorrow
To feel someone’s pain and still be gentle
To absorb the weight of stories we’ll never repeat but always carry

And then there’s what we endure behind the scenes.
We get asked if we “give extras.”
We get laughed at or sexualized when we say we’re massage therapists.
We get called “masseuses”—a word that feels like nails on a chalkboard, rooted in outdated and exploitative views.

We are Licensed Massage Therapists.
We are trained, educated, and ethical practitioners.
We are not here for entertainment.
We are here for healing.

And that healing?
It’s not just about the body.
It’s the woman with chronic pain who can finally sleep through the night.
It’s the man with PTSD who feels safe enough to close his eyes.
It’s the mom who carries the weight of the world but finally feels held herself.
It’s the client who comes in disconnected—and leaves back in their body.

Yes, this job is hard.
It hurts.
It drains.
It costs us more than people realize.
But it’s also beautiful.
Transformative.
Sacred.

So when you come to us, remember:
You’re not just booking a massage.
You’re not just paying for an hour on the table.

I remember hearing in massage school back in 2009 that, "No two people who have or had cancer are alike."
After having experienced having cancer in the summer of 2023, I understand that statement from my personal perspective more deeply.

The journey and experiences that one goes through to fight this dis-ease is incredibly personal and sacred.

I was able to fight it head on and swiftly. My heart was broken, I couldn't believe that I had cancer! "How did I get here??!". I was upset, I was defeated, I was completely taken aback. But, I kept an incredibly positive attitude during the entire journey. I went through life saving abdominal surgery which included removing my reproductive system (all of it), pelvic lymph nodes, and a layer of adipose tissue. "How the hell did I get HERE??".

I underwent 6 rounds of chemotherapy where I was severely allergic to one of the two different types of chemo drugs. I ha d a port placed that got infected with staph (not MRSA, thankfully).

The entire journey was so messed up. But, I went through it all with incredible grace! I can't believe I went through that entire debacle. I'm forever changed because of it. I'm more humble as ever, I'm more understanding of those who suffer from anything they have going on, I appreciate my life more, my family more, my body more. The list can indeed go on for all that I FEEL more deeply about. And that's just it, I FEEL much more deeply. My heart has opened up to myself and others and it's miraculous! For that, I'm thankful 🙏

It's all in alignment with what I am meant to do here on this planet. Massage therapy isn't just something that I do. It is WHO I am. It's my heart in action! I care, I love, I sense what needs to move around. Maybe I don't know why it needs to move around but I sense that it does. It's a beautiful experience for me!

I bring all of me into each session. Your body is my canvas where I can be my authentic Self and aid one what they came in needing, wanting, and yearning for.

Whether it be physical ailments like pain, stiffness, achiness, "stuckness", scar tissue, general adhesions, migraines, etc.

Whether it be mental hardships like grief, sadness, depression

Above all, never lose your ability to walk. Keep moving, keep going, keep your desire to get up and live life! Some way, some how, keep moving.

The benefits of walking are many! Please note that even walking just 20 to 30 minutes a day, three times a week can make a big impact on your mood, leg and hip strength, and overall well being.

Arrive early - 5 to 10 minutes for repeat sessions. 10 to 15 minutes early for a new session as to fill out any necessary paperwork. Arriving early in general allows time to discuss what brings you to the session.

Silencing your devices before entering the treatment room will avoid distractions during the massage.

Using a quiet voice is considerate to other practitioners and their clients within the building.

Massage really is more than just a luxury. Folks that maintain their bodies with bodywork experience less tension in their body, decreased anxiety and stress of the mind, increased lymphatic circulation, aids in diminishing headaches/migraines, promotes better sleep, encourages better flexibility within the joints, the list can go on and on!
Treat yourself, mind and body, to a massage every now again or on a scheduled maintenance program. You deserve it!
