Much more than just a “treat”. Bit of what September at Align Bodywork looked like 👀

~ Pain relief for 4-8wk postpartum recovery + breastfeeding
~ Assisted powerlifting, marathon, and triathlon athletes recovery from high training demands & post race + competition/race prep
~ Elbow tendonosis/tennis elbow x 2
~ A lot of neck/shoulder pain relief
~ 2 hours of R&R bliss for a bride a few days before her wedding day
~ Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) post illness & general body support
~ MLD post surgical
~ a few low back pain relief
~ 2 Neurokinetic Therapy/Active Alignment clients both coincidentally for neck/shoulder/back pain but receiving very different treatment & corrective exercise.
~ & some good ol’ general maintenance peeps

How blessed am I to be part of so many peoples big goals and big moments 🥰 + someone they trust to help their body move and function how they need for whatever life entails. Each client receiving their own unique treatment based on how they’re presenting that day & personal preference.

✨ I don’t have all the answers. I have no clue why X muscle got tight, but we can figure out the pattern and set you on the right path to not be an issue.
✨ I might not be able to solve your pain issue. Pain & the human body is extremely complex. It also takes T I M E
✨ People’s opinions and results often affect me more than they should. I care probably too much, but also know my skills are not for everyone. My job is to facilitate healing, not actually do it for them.
✨ It drives me nuts the people I’ve seen in the past that I wasn’t necessarily able to help, but as I’ve learned more modalities and acquired new skills I often question if that would have done the trick. We don’t know, what we don’t know.

The majority of my clients see their appointments as a routine non-negotiable to keep living the lives they desire. Sometimes we are fixing issues and facilitating healing, sometimes they need help slowing down & reconnecting to themselves from a season of stress or go-go-go, or sometimes we are helping the body recover and remain injury free if they’re chasing big athletic goals. Either way, our time together is always tailored to your unique individual needs based on the season of life you’re in.

🌟 Align Bodywork is 5 years old! 🥹 🌟

I have never done a business birthday post, but it feels like such a milestone that this one should not be missed. Being a business owner was never ever part of the life plan. I was always a follower, not a leader. So to tell a younger me this is what I would be doing, I most definitely would not believe it. But everything just fell into place like it was meant for me all along once I made the decision. Sure there has been a lot of sleepless nights, tears, lessons, and difficult decisions, but that’s part of reaching outside of your comfort zone, taking risks, and growing.

My favorite thing about the business? All the incredible people I have met both as clients and the network of other professionals/business owners. In the last 5 years I have worked with kids as young as 8 to people into their early 90s. It’s fun for me to watch the kids grow and evolve through the years. Many of us see each other monthly and have went through many ups and downs of life together. Anyone from professional athletes, endurance athletes, weightlifters, dancers, pregnant mommas, men and women with high stress/labor intensive jobs, a variety of pain issues, and really just a lot of people that value taking care of their bodies. I am so grateful for the trust you all have placed in me to help.

THANK YOU to those of you that have supported me whether we only recently met or you have been here since the beginning ~ 5 years ago 🫶🏻

PS: Any excuse to eat cake 😏🧁 Why did I not think of using cake as a write-off before year 5? 🤔

**Room Available for Rent — 170sqft**

▫️Flexible terms — can rent by the month, day, or even by the hour depending how much you want to be here.
▫️Shared space. There is already one other Massage Therapist working in this room 2 days a month so would need to work around that schedule.
▫️Comes furnished as shown. Massage table can be taken down/moved if not needed for profession or can put up your own.

Ideal candidate: Another wellness/healthcare provider passionate about providing an elevated service to their clients. (If another LMT, that is more medical based, I can potentially help with clientele/business growth if desired)

Last 3 images shared of the rest of the space. I work in the other room here full-time M-F with varying hours. Central/easy access location with ample parking on Allouez Avenue in Bellevue.

Message me with questions or to setup a meeting to see the space if interested. Share with your people that might want to hear about this opportunity. 🙂

Always a top question I get from new clients — What should I schedule?!

Good thing, you don’t really have to choose specific services, just time duration. I really just ask clients to choose if they want a more chill, I work on you and you just lay there type of service (standard bodywork) or do you want to go through some actual movement assessment, muscle testing, and get some corrective exercise homework (NKT/Active Alignment). Outside of that, you do not need to choose if you want cupping, IASTM, PNMT/trigger point, etc. We chat about that at your appointment and go from there. No needing to select certain services or pay extra for me to put a few cups on if it’s needed.

I want to do what’s best for YOUR body as it’s showing up for us on that given day.

If you’re unsure on time duration, I have some general guidelines, so just ask :)

Race and competition season is in full swing for many athletes! 🥳 Here are some tips for bodywork before/after those big events.

🔹 Schedule early to secure the day/time you want! You already know when the big day is. We can only see so many clients in a day so don’t snooze on it.
🔹 This can be individual, but pre & post event bodywork should be scheduled 2-5 days before/after the event. I personally prefer 2-3 days before for my body so it has some time to respond to the work and prepare the mental side of keeping the mind calm & focused. I choose not to go right after the event typically, but that’s just me & I utilize my other tools to help with recovery afterward. However if discomfort is lingering a week later I will schedule for additional support to resolve the issue.
🔹 Don’t try out a new therapist right before your event. Go at least a month or 2 prior at least to see how your body responds to their work. The first few sessions is always about us learning your body and you taking note of how you respond to the work.
🔹 The work immediately pre and post event should not be aggressive (this tolerance is of course different for everyone so communication is 🔑). The goal is recovery & function. The body is already working very hard to prepare or recover. It knows what to do. Our job is to just support that or it could further delay your recovery.

⭐️ BONUS: Add PEMF to support recovery and performance on a cellular level 🔋 It is zero extra charge at Align Bodywork when incorporated into the bodywork session.

A weekend of refining and expanding skills to get a glimpse into better understanding the communication of the body utilizing palpation and muscle testing.

Excited to put these expanded skills to use for Active Alignment service clients. How is Active Alignment different than my standard bodywork service? Standard bodywork is much more passive in nature & focused on the recovery & release side of things only. Very much will provide relief, but not necessarily as long term. Active Alignment we go through thorough assessment (history, movement screen, palpation, muscle testing, etc to formulate a plan looking at the whole body), perform bodywork based on findings, and then likely give a corrective exercise or 2 for you to do at a home to help the body learn the correct pattern we are asking of it again to ultimately get out of pain or restore functional range of motion. Generally longer lasting and more effective results 👌🏼

Here are just a few ~ there are a lot of indications for this modality, because it is supporting our super important lymphatic system. If fluid is stagnant that’s when swelling/inflammation and pain appear. Because of its slow, rhythmic technique it can be a natural pain reliever and source for relaxation to optimize our bodies internal healing environment.
