Super excited to officially be offering Sports Massage!

This session type is more geared toward preparation and recovery from sporting events and competitions. It is a clothed session as it requires more movement and position changes for supported stretching and muscle energy techniques (METs). (Sports bra/tank top and shorts are fine.)

Other manual therapies included are deep compression, pin and stretch, muscle testing and facilitation, scraping, and tempering.

There is less of an opportunity for relaxation and circulation techniques during sports massage as it is more of a direct approach to improving mobility, muscle function, and proving releases.

If you have any questions, please message me. You can schedule a Sports Massage from the link in my bio.

This just in! Finally acquired a Tempering Table! Come try it out during your next Temping session 💪🏼

Friendly reminder of some price changes going into effect August 1st.

Along with these changes, all Add-On services will be no extra charge! That’s right, Target Tempering, E-Stim, and Scraping will all be free! They can be added on by request or by suggestion to get the most out of your session.

Full body CBD lotion will still be a small extra charge. However, recommended localized CBD will be complementary!

I have been so happy to serving you all for the past 5 years. As my experience and skills grow, so does the value of your session! With that being said, these price changes will go into effect August 1st.

I have tried to figure a way to maintain some affordability so the increase will be tiered towards the longer sessions.
F&F discounts are will remain unchanged.
Any gift certificates purchased before August 1st will not be affected by this change.
New cancellation and no-show policy will be in place.

I appreciate all of your support and I look forward to working with you all in the future!

There are only 3 Bath Bombs left in the office! If you’d like one before we reorder, you can DM to schedule a pickup time or grab one at your next appointment.

Here are some schedule adjustments coming up in June and July!

If you have any sessions currently scheduled outside of any of these times, not to worry, they will not be affected.

And just a heads up, evening sessions are typically booking over a month out and mornings/mid day are about 2-3 weeks. So for those that prefer more regular work, I recommend booking multiple sessions in advance.

Don’t forget, there is an online booking option and the link is in my bio!

Super excited to give an update on some new services and pricing!

In the past I have done postural and movement assessments during the session. I have thought long and hard about how that takes away from the hands on time that people are paying for. I’m also not giving the best assessment anyway trying to squeeze it in. I have decided to designate a full 30 minutes for postural screening, range of motion, and muscle testing for those that would like a more in depth approach. I highly recommend the postural assessment to New Clients and Existing Clients with new injuries or problems. However, it is not required! This can include before and after pictures of posture and range of motion.

The postural assessment is a separate appointment type that is 30 minutes long, so if you would like to do this along with your next session, make sure to ask for it when getting set up so we can schedule accordingly.

I have also added an option of utilizing the E-Pulse unit that offers TENS and EMS therapies. It can be added on during a session to an area that may need extra attention while I’m working else where.

And of course, I have the option to add-on CBD lotion to any treatment for extra pain relief!

Here are a few links to some research articles on Body Tempering for those interested in more info! Body Tempering is by no means the next “big fix” or cure-all but it can be a great intervention.

It can help improve circulation, recovery from exercise, mobility, and muscle strength while reducing muscle soreness, tension, myofacial issues, and stress.

One thing I have personally noticed is that some people that have a hard time relaxing under human touch have much better results relaxing under an inanimate object. It reminds me a bit of Temple Grandin’s “squeeze shoot” she developed for her self to calm her nervous system because she didn’t like hugs from people.

There are many sizes and weights of tools so it doesn’t have to feel like you are being steam rolled! If you are interested, when scheduling your next appointment just mention you would like to do Body Tempering 🙂

There has been limited research to explore the use of body tempering and when the use of this modality would be most appropriate. This study aimed to determine if a body tempering intervention would be appropriate pre-exercise by examining its effects ...

Super excited to announce that I will now be offering Body Tempering as a new service! I received my Level 1 certification back in June in Colorado Springs and have been slowly acquiring equipment and practicing with the tools.

A quick explanation of Body Tempering: large heavy tools are arranged on the body and can be rolled, throttled, shifted or stationary in an effort to create physical adaptation.

A simpler definition: Tempering is the inverse of foam rolling where implements are placed on top of the body instead of the body on top of the implements.

If you’d like to learn more about Body Tempering or schedule a session, please let me know! I can send you to other pages with demonstrations as well. I look forward to this new treatment for you all!
