Deep tissue techniques with more detailed and focus work on chronic tension areas, relief of trigger points causing headaches and referral pains. Ashiatsu
Ashiatsu is a luxurious massage that involves using my heels and soles to provide elongating strokes to sooth muscle tension and create space within the body. The bars above the table allow me to adjust the pressure, tailoring each session for the client on the table, so those of you who are just looking to relax can receive this unique modality too! Reflexology/ Acupressure/ Energy Work
The art of reflexology is based on the principle that there are microcosms (mini maps) of the entire body mirrored on scalp, ears, hands, and feet. Stimulating the reflex points in these locations can help to create balance within the body, soothing the nervous system, improving circulation and reducing stress.

Tension comes in all shapes and sizes. Hiding in our feet, our hands our head and everything in between.

Well practiced moosage therapists are like detectives. Unraveling the mysteries of where the aches and pains are coming from.

A phrase we often hear is “I didn’t even know that was tight!”

It is ALL connected.
🩷❤️🧡💛💚🩵💙💜

Long held tension can affect the way we breathe and experience life. It can affect the way we move and interact with the world around us. It can also affect the way we sleep.

Where is your pain hiding? Where is it causing you to contract or hold back?

The body tells a tale, we care and are here to listen.✨

💟 The Barefoot Haven.

Wishing you and all of your beloveds a wonderfully warm and bright holiday.

12/21/2023

As the year in view softly comes to a close. Pause to remember the efforts it took to bring you here.

Using your breath, take a moment to inhale all the gifts of life.

With each exhale, free yourself from the ideas, beliefs, habits and thoughts that limit the expression of your Divine Truth.

Just like a kid on Christmas, dream big.

Allow yourself permission to re-write the script or change the story.

Crystalize the ideas that uplift, encourage, and inspire you and your loved ones.

During this long dark solstice night lean into gratitude for what is now and unfold inner peace as each new day becomes bigger and brighter.

We do not see nature with our eyes, but with our understandings and our hearts.
-William Hazlitt

There is a sacredness to every moment but there is something particularly special about the arrival of fall and the Autumn Equinox.

This year September 22, 2022 marks the first day of fall. Autumn welcomes us to find balance within as this side of Mother Earth ushers us through our final harvest.

In this season Nature lets go of her abundant creations in an awe-inspiring display. Leaves bolt in color while plants run to seed before falling to the floor, enriching the soil and preparing for new growth in spring. Nature renders herself bare for all to see.

In the Five Element Theory, metal is the element that governs the energetic vibrations of fall. While in the body its regulators are the lungs and the large intestine.

The lungs expand to receive, connecting to our essence and what sustains us, then expelling carbon dioxide as waste. While its paired organ the large intestine, receives nourishment from the small intestine for the last phase of processing before eliminating digestive waste.

Energetically this organ pair is tasked with drawing in what is of value within our emotions, thoughts, relationships, actions and experiences. Storing for later, what is useful and releasing what is impure or un-serving.

Honor this seasonal transition within by pausing to reflect on this years journey. Find the beauty and value in your experiences. Clarify what has served your essence, and release back to Mother Earth what did not. Breathe in the support of the Universe, return to seed and continue manifesting your destiny.
❤️🧡💛💚💙💜☯️

Summers light is cresting upon us once again here in northwest Montana. June 21st marks the first day of summer and the summer solstice.

There is something special in watching Mother Nature’s energy flourish and blossom from spring to summer. Intuitively we experience this flux within as our hearts and minds. Like flowers to the warmth of the sun, we also open to summer’s gift the energy of fire.

On a deeper level the fire element governs the heart and the small intestines as a pair, and the pericardium or heart protector and the triple heater as a pair.

The heart is seen as the ruling emperor that leads and guides the rest of the body. The small intestines serve as the heavenly window in which pure is sorted from the impure. Physically this organ sorts nutrients from waste, distributing nutrients to the heart through the blood and passing on what is not useful to the large intestines to be eliminated. This sorting function also occurs on an emotional and mental level. Helping us to discern what is useful or important and what is not. Assisting us in assimilating the world around us, communicating these experiences to the heart, then expanding to relate with others.

Fire expresses itself through joy, love, warmth, laughter and enthusiasm. Coincidentally the more we share our hearts fire the more we build our own, and the more we have in our reserves to draw upon during darker moments of the year.

Allow the fire of summer to nurture you toward maturity and bring you into awareness of your highest divine potential. Know that this energy will support you in enriching your enjoyment of life and offer many opportunities to open, extend compassion and forgive. We all deserve it.

Wishing you all a fulfilling season that keeps your heart warm all year long.

Wishing you all peace, health, prosperity and unconditional love in the Year of the Water Tiger

Many cultures around the world celebrate the Lunar New Year, which is marked by the second New Moon after the December Solstice. This year is the year of the Water Tiger.

Water is life, water is sacred, water is worth protecting.
It is spiritually symbolic of many things but a few of my favorite representations are the divine feminine energy, purification, emotions, wisdom, clarity, creativity, receptivity, fertility, openness, transformation, fluidity, adaptability, mystery, intuition, the subconscious mind, healing and unconditional love.

Water lives in cycles of action/inaction, clean/dirty, frozen/flowing/stagnant. Like water, our body mind and spirit can reflect these states of being. It is in our best interest to mirror this divine element by drinking in its potent tranquility. Cleansing the body, mind and spirit through mindful breathing and meditation will greatly support us in this years developments.

The Tiger is not just a courageous, powerful creature but is also very ambitious, patient and intuitive. Seeing and perceiving things in their environment that others can not.

Ride the waves in the Year of the Water Tiger as it reminds us to keep our minds open to change and be willing to see things clearly. Tap into the intuitive skills, strength and bravery of the tiger to push past fears or limiting beliefs. Search out techniques that nurture your Divinity, your emotions, and your mind.

Reconsider your values, be patient in your ambitions and refinement as you flow with the rhythms of life.

December 21 marks the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and Summer Solstice in the Southern Hemisphere. The Solstice has been celebrated by thousands of cultures and communities across the globe since the beginning of time. What I love about the Winter Solstice is that Mother Nature is ushering us inside so we can tend to our inner worlds as our outer world is frozen in time.

She invites us once again to review and renew. Asking us to reflect on our growth, release what no longer serves us and polish our visions of who we want to be in the year ahead. Practicing more Yin activities this time of year comes natural for some but in an area so abundant with adventure, regardless of the weather, it may be more challenging to resist the calling of the great outdoors.

Whether giving in to that call to be in nature or going Yin-ward on your sofa, take a moment to be mindful of your breath and let your mind relax. Notice how each breath is in harmony with a living breathing planet that supports us. Celebrate every inhalation and exhalation as the universe continues to inspire us to be in harmony with the world around us.

Wishing you all a happy and warm winter solstice.
