We are exploring the possibility of bringing Tai Chi (Yang Style) into the studio.

If you’ve never tried Tai Chi, think of it as strength training for your nervous system.

Slow. Intentional. Grounded. Powerful.
Tai Chi is known to:
• Improve balance and stability
• Reduce stress and anxiety
• Support joint mobility without impact
• Enhance focus and body awareness
• Strengthen muscles in a gentle, sustainable way
• Support brain health and cognitive function

It’s especially beautiful for anyone wanting to build resilience without beating their body up.

At Rebel Wellness, we don’t just chase intensity. We build capacity. We build control. We build longevity.
Tai Chi aligns perfectly with that mission.

Imagine stepping into the studio, salt lamps glowing, breath steady, body moving like water instead of bracing against life.

🌑 Group Soundbath
Sunday, March 1 • 6:00 PM
Rebel Wellness Studio

You deserve a restorative pause.
Join us for a 60-minute immersive soundbath designed to calm the nervous system, quiet the mind, and bring the body back into balance.

You’ll be guided through a layered sound experience using crystal singing bowls, gong, chimes, and grounding tones — allowing vibration and frequency to gently wash over you while you rest comfortably in a zero-gravity chair.

There is nothing to do.
Nothing to perform.
Just receive.

✨ Arrival Details
• Please arrive by 5:45 PM to settle in.
• Doors lock promptly at 5:55 PM to minimize disruption. Please text me when you arrive, I will open the main door.
• Late entry will not be permitted once the session begins.

We begin on time to create a safe, uninterrupted experience for everyone in the room.
What to Bring
• Comfortable clothing
• A small pillow or blanket if desired (we do provide comfort items as well)
• An open mind and a willingness to rest

This is a group experience with limited seating to maintain energetic integrity and comfort.
Spots are intentionally capped.

I call this Adult Nappy Nap Time

They love the aesthetic.

The salt lamps.
The moody lighting.
The “manifest your dream” energy.

They don’t see:
• The nervous system recalibrations at 2am.
• The clients you outgrow.
• The revenue jumps that trigger old survival patterns.
• The coach you hire because you’re done playing small.
• The “vacation” where your laptop comes with you.
• The nights you question everything… and show up anyway.

“Must be nice being your own boss.”
Nice?

No.
It’s confronting.
It’s expansive and expensive.
It’s lonely sometimes.
But...
It’s powerful as hell.

Scaling the business you built means becoming the version of you who can hold it. All while in a medical crisis 🤣
And that version? She gets stretched before she gets steady.

This carousel isn’t chaos.
It’s initiation.
It's reality. Life can be messy as you build.

And growth is messy before it’s magnetic.
Now I want to hear from you 👇
If you’re a business owner, what part of scaling surprised you the most?

If you’re not, what do you THINK running a business looks like?
Let’s talk about the real stuff.

If you’re building something bigger than your comfort zone…
Drop a 🔥 in the comments.

I want to know who else is choosing expansion over ease.

Release tension where stress often hides. Resting the hip crease over a bolster gently softens the hip flexors, signals the nervous system to slow down, and allows the body to shift into deep relaxation. Stay for a few minutes, breathe naturally, and let stillness do the work.

Spring is waking up. 🌿
And so is something new inside these walls.
There’s a quiet whisper moving through Rebel Wellness right now…
More breath.
More movement.
More grounding.
Let’s just say the search is on. 👀
If you’ve been craving intentional yoga in a space that feels safe, moody, warm, and real… stay tuned. This isn’t about trendy flows. This is about nervous system support. Strength with softness. Mobility with purpose.
Spring is blooming with excitement over here.
You might want to keep your mat close. 🌱
Drop a YES if yoga at Rebel Wellness has your name on it.

“You got the good cancer.” doctors say. "Its the easy cancer."
That’s what they, most doctors, say about thyroid cancer.

There is no good cancer! Period!!!

I have not talked about this in a while.
It’s been 10.5 years since my thyroid was removed and had radioactive iodine, twice. I took much of this week off to rest.

The thyroid controls your:
• Metabolism
• Heart rate
• Body temperature
• Energy production
• Digestion
• Brain function
• Hormone balance
• Mood

It is the master speed regulator of your body.
Remove it, and every single one of those systems depends on a pill.

If the dose is off, your whole life is off.

This week I felt like I was walking through waist high mud in a wet suit with full scuba gear on. Freezing cold. Exhausted. Brain fog so thick I questioned myself. I even treated a red light like it was a stop sign. Yikes!

I was fortunate to get in for a doc appt and labs this week. BTW, she tried blaming my diet 🤣 because i have gained 21 lbs since August. (When my thyroid meds were cut in half per the doc orders.)

Labs came back.

•Severely hypothyroid.
•Under medicated.
•Not my diet.
•Not my mindset.
•Not because I “need more sleep.”
• Under Medicated.

After thyroid cancer, you don’t just survive.
You fight to feel human again.
Doctors treat ranges.
We live in bodies.

If you feel like your soul is dimming, keep advocating.
I did not beat cancer to live half alive.

I am on a mission to find a clinic that is self pay and not under the sick-care standard.

Before I officially add this to the schedule, I want to hear from you.
✨ Are you interested in Tai Chi at Rebel Wellness?
Slow, intentional movement.
Balance work that actually strengthens your nervous system.
Breath that teaches your body how to regulate instead of react.
This would not be fast fitness.
It would be controlled strength, taught by someone with years of experience. (More info at the studio)

Now I need your input 👇
If we offered Tai Chi, what would feel best?
• Weekday mornings 7 to 8am
• Late mornings 10 to 11am
• Early evenings 5:30 to 6:30pm
• When???
And would you prefer:
• 45 minutes
• 60 minutes
Drop your ideal day and time in the comments or message me privately if that feels safer.
This space is about moving with intention.
If Tai Chi is calling you, say it.
Let’s build this around what actually works for you. 🖤

Spring Fever in February?
Who else has the spring itch?

Spring fever is not just a vibe. It is biology.
More light means more serotonin, more dopamine, more drive. Your brain is waking up. Your nervous system is shifting out of winter mode.
If you feel restless, inspired, ready to rearrange your life… that is not random.

That is your body remembering how to bloom.
And Rebel?
We are blooming too. 🌸
More updates coming to the space. Stay tuned. 😍

POV (or what ever that is) my platform must have had a ton of coffee.
Its been blasting posts faster than I can catch up. I'm just gonna roll with all the weirdness right now. Hoping for some laughs in the pics "it" comes up with.
Yeet!

This photo is real. Took this am on our walk. I love cloud formations. 🤣

At Rebel Wellness in West Des Moines, massage therapy is never routine. Every session is fully integrative and customized in real time based on what your body needs that day.

Whether you are dealing with chronic muscle tension, stress related pain, fascia restriction, burnout, or hormonal shifts, your treatment is designed around you. Deep tissue when your muscles need focused work. Nervous system regulation when stress is running the show. Somatic based techniques when the body is ready to process and release.

As a trauma informed massage therapist in West Des Moines, I combine integrative massage, deep tissue therapy, lymphatic support, and energy work when appropriate. The goal is not just temporary relief. The goal is sustainable change in how you live in your body.

If you are done being a cookie cut out, and ready for that one who goes beyond basic relaxation and actually addresses the root of tension and overwhelm, this is your space.

No two sessions are identical because no two bodies carry the same story.

Appointments are limited each week to ensure focused, individualized care.

Your body is communicating.
Here, we listen.
