Free Cupping or Scraping with Prepaid Massage Packages — This Week Only

If you’ve worked with me before, you probably already know the benefits of cupping or scraping—better circulation, faster recovery, and deep, lasting tension relief.

For one week only, from June 18–25, I’m offering both upgrades free when you pre-purchase any massage package of 5 sessions or more.

Normally a $30 upgrade per session, this adds up to $150 in value—the cost of an entire session, now included at no extra charge.

You can book your package online or purchase it in person at your next visit.
When booking online, just select:
Deep Tissue Massage→ "Deep Tissue Prepay w/ Free Upgrade (5 sessions)" (https://square.site/book/577T9PH4EPH8T/the-balanced-hand-vancouver-wa)

Whether we’re working on chronic pain, post-workout soreness, or just keeping your body tuned up, these techniques can take your recovery to the next level.

This special ends June 25—don’t miss it.

Spring Is Here. Time to Shake Off the Winter Stiffness.

Hey friend,

Spring is here—and with it comes more sunshine, more movement, and for many of us… the realization that winter left our bodies feeling tight, stiff, and a little sluggish.

If that sounds familiar, I’ve got you.

At The Balanced Hand, I don’t just help you relax—I help you move and feel better. Whether you’re stepping back into a workout routine, getting outside more, or just trying to feel like yourself again, a focused massage session can help you shake off that winter tension and reset your body.

Book now and get a FREE fitness consultation with your session.

(Let’s talk movement goals, healthy habits, or just small steps to get you going in the right direction.)

Let’s get you tuned up and ready to roll into spring.

You are invited!

Hey Friends,

Over the years, many of you have worked with me through massage therapy, strength training, or nutrition coaching—and it’s been a real privilege to support your health and wellness journeys.

I’m excited to share something new I’ve been building: workshops that combine strength, mobility, and real-world movement education to help people feel more confident and capable in their bodies.

My next one is coming up soon! It’s called the Skate Strength Workshop, and while it’s designed with skaters in mind, you don’t have to be a roller skater to benefit from it. The movement principles we cover are relevant to anyone who wants to:
• Build strength and mobility
• Improve posture, balance, and core control
• Train rotational movement for real-life agility
• Get solid guidance around nutrition, hydration, and supplementation
• Leave with a plan to move better and feel stronger

It’s also a great environment—supportive, welcoming, and judgment-free. Whether you’re new to fitness or deep in your journey, you’ll walk away with tools you can use immediately.

Workshop Details:
• Dates: Saturday & Sunday, April 12–13
• Time: 12:00 PM – 3:30 PM (Check-in starts at 11:30 AM)
• Location: Vancouver, WA (full address provided upon registration)
• Open to all levels – 25 spots max

Pricing:
• 2-Day: $185
• 1-Day: $115
(No late fees through Thursday, April 10)

Register Here:
• 👉 Both Days: square.link/u/MUNrjB8z
• 👉 Single Day: square.link/u/ROVczcdq

If you’ve ever wanted to experience the kind of focused, functional training I bring into our one-on-one sessions—but in a group environment with more depth and context—this is the one to attend.

Let me know if you have any questions or want help choosing the right option.

Throwback to My First Studio: “The Closet”

Nine and a half years ago, I moved into my very first, non-commissioned, monthly rent-paid studio—affectionately dubbed “THE CLOSET.” It was small and cramped, but it was mine. I painted the walls, cleaned the carpets, and decorated it to make it feel just right. There was a little sink in the corner and a large picture window that opened up to the sky. It wasn’t much, but it represented so much: my hard work, dedication, and the freedom I had been seeking from corporate spaces and box gyms.

This humble space was the beginning of my journey toward building a career I’m proud of. It laid the foundation for the solid, effective, and dependable service I provide today, regardless of the size or location of my workspace.
A few days ago, I had the pleasure of seeing a client who dates back to my corporate massage days. They reminded me that they had visited “THE CLOSET” back in the day. Sharing a laugh about that tiny room was one of the biggest compliments I could receive—right next to a referral, of course.

To all my clients, especially those who’ve been with me since the beginning: thank you for your trust and support. I appreciate you all for allowing me to be a part of your wellness journey.

My journey into bodywork began with my bodybuilding career. I recognized the intense physical demands of training and saw a need for better recovery solutions for athletes. Over the past 13 years as a massage therapist, I’ve had the privilege of helping athletes from all sports and backgrounds optimize their recovery and performance.

Now, I’d love to hear from you:

Are you an athlete? If so, what’s your sport? And what do you do to aid your recovery from training and competition?

Let’s start a conversation about how we can all perform at our best!

Did you know that several studies over the last couple of decades have all concluded that consuming at least one cup of coffee per day can lower the human mortality rate over all causes of death? Who out there is a daily coffee drinker and did you know that there were health benefits to that?
