Silly that I have to post this but..
I am a professional licensed massage therapist. I have strict draping protocols. Unless you are thinking about booking a professional massage or energetic healing session.. there is no reason to contact me.
I am not here to find a boyfriend.. I am not here to give "happy endings"
This is not worth expending my energy or consciousness on ☮️❤️ please stop contacting me..
I am a small business owner and demand ethical behavior and respect 🙏

Went to a shadow meditation retreat over the weekend
Wanted to share the meditations for anyone who wants to do this work at home ❤️
I highly recommend!

I experienced different phases of this transformative healing

➡️ Shadow awareness
➡️ Finding the root cause
➡️ Realizing patterns of self sabotage
➡️ Compassionate witnessing and integration
➡️ Then the best part.. radical acceptance.
Not just acceptance of your past or present. But gaining confidence you now have the tools to handle any problems life may throw your way.

You don’t have to control, over analyze, or stay hyper-vigilant anymore.
Whatever your version of shadow is—avoidance, people-pleasing, numbing, perfectionism—it meets where you are.
This process may happen rapidly, or gradually unfold for days after you start this journey.

This is a beginners shadow work meditation focused on meeting your shadow self. Be sure to flow write when prompted, you will need a journal and pen.

Why would you visit me at Mandy's massage (located inside peace within Healing Arts) if you are used to seeing me in a different location?

More time in session:
-You are alloted more. Instead of 50 minutes hands on it is the full 60 for example
- I am not back to back, which means no running as fast as I can and rushing in between clients. It puts less stress on me. This allows me to be more calm and have the ability to give extra time during the session.
I always have 15-30 minutes scheduled in between sessions.

Supporting me directly:
-This allows me to have more free time, which in turn allows me more time to learn new modalities and research how best to serve you.

Different payment options
-You can choose a monthly membership, or pay for each appointment individually
Cash discounts also available

-Convenient location.
-It is the valley drive exit right off the 235. Parking is easy and the spaces are wide and convenient.

Why am I limiting my availability before expanding?
-This way I can make sure I am fully grounded with this upcoming change. Change is not always easy. But I want the transition to be as smooth and gradual as possible for both me and you. And give plenty of notice
HOWEVER.. there are a lot of variables unfortunately out of my control. Which makes it even more important that I am fully grounded during this transition. This timeline may happen sooner then I am planning. It could happen more gradually or abruptly.
Right now I am planning to extend hours beginning in March. After I have had lots of time for self care and learning opportunities.
Change is not always easy. I am so incredibly thankful for those who support me in this new journey.

Today I discovered the science behind why we 'embody' emotions
It is neurological. The anterior cingulate cortex is next to our premotor function in our brain. So when a feeling is processed, it immediately begins to generate a physical, bodied response. The premotor area connects to the motor cortex and then sends that message into the specific muscles that are going to express emotions.
Every emotion is stored in different areas.

Some examples are:
Stress and anxiety live in the shoulders — like we’re literally carrying the weight of the world.
Relationship tension? That tight neck makes sense… they really can be a “pain in the neck

The body speaks what the mind avoids.
For my 9 years as a massage therapist I've frequently been asked; why am I so tense?
The answer is not very simple.
It varies so greatly for each person
You could live a seditary lifestyle, eat healthy, and do yoga everyday.. yet still somehow carry so much tension..
I this neurological response is the culprit for a lot of people.
We often put admiration on those who are strong.. who can juggle a lot and still show up with a smile. Sometimes we can lie to ourselves.. but eventually our body will be there as our personal truth detector.
I am personally learning to respond with gratitude for every "negative" emotional response I receive.
In that emotion theres always a message, a chance to grow, and level up in this world 🌎 🏆 🙏 ❤️
What sets my practice apart from the most is I do (90 or 2 hour) sessions that are partially massage, and part energy healing. This way we can integrate the mind, body, and soul. All in one session!
If you are unsure if you are able to identify what emotions/ trauma you need to process from your subconscious.. I do interpretive readings to help with that! I will receive a vision, upload it to ai service to help decode the messaging behind it.

I received new followers this weekend, welcome to my page!
I am limiting my availability to Saturdays for the time being!
I am doing a lot of self work at the moment, reading, yoga, meditation, and learning new massage modalities. In March I am planning to expand once I have completed this transformative period in my life, equipped with new knowledge and techniques to share with you guys ❤️ I am so excited for the upcoming year. In the meantime, I did purchase something very magical for my practice...
a shamanic drum! Woot woot!
Stay tuned for updates !

Fascia is packed with nerves, and when it gets tight, sticky, restricted, or dehydrated it can cause body aches and pains, which is often mistaken for muscular pain.

I have openings next weekend for energy healing! I have 3 options for services.
1. Chakra healing- Focusing on the vital energetic centers our bodies. Connecting spirit to the physical realm. I utilize a pendulum to direct me to where energetic blockages are. Then with the use of my hands combined with crystals I direct the energy to specific centers in order to restore balance.
2. Reiki- a form of energy healing utilizing universal life force to promote relaxation, reduce stress and provide mental clarity
3. Interpretive visions. I scan the body and receive visions. After the session there will be a discussion about what images are received, and how they relate/ benefit your life. If there is any particular topic you would like to receive guidance on, I ask that you hold space during the reading privately.

During the last 7 of my energy healing sessions, I have been able to provide a vision for my clients.
I now feel confident promoting this service! If you would like a intuitive energetic reading plz reach out and message 🙏
My visions have helped protect me and guide me whenever im at a crossroads throughout my life. It has protected me from cheating partners, violence, and to show me when I have a spouse that is interested and thinking about other women.. Now I would love to pass it forward and help others on their journey.
Sometimes I only have a few flashes of images that are very poignant, others there will be up to 40 images that I see, each image having a story to tell and symbolism. Here is one of my visions from this weekend !
