I’ ve been doing a lot of pre and post operative Lymphatic Drainage Massage lately. The most common question I get asked is “Is there anything I can do at home to help with the healing/recovery process?” My answer is always if you aren’t already, start taking at least 1000 mgs of Vitamin C. I also recommend starting it if you know you have an upcoming surgery. Reasons: It’s required for Collagen Synthesis, it’s a natural anti-inflammatory & it supports immune activation. Most people who undergo surgery are deficient to begin with. Without it there’s higher inflammation & slower recovery. It reduces infection risk & helps with wound healing. There’s also Vitamin C IV therapy options which are even better. Several will even come to you and set it up from the comfort of your own home. And if you are a cancer patient, I can’t stress to you enough the importance of Vitamin C Therapy.

Just a heads up…I will be out of the office 7/9 - 7/20. As of right now I am booked until 7/28. Since my schedule fills up quickly, if you would like to schedule an appointment for the week of 7/28 or in any dates in August, just lmk before 7/9. Otherwise, any calls/texts for appts will be returned on 7/21.

*24 hour cancellation required on all appts.

*Client will be required to pay for no show or cancellation without a 24 hour notice.

*Gift Cards will automatically be voided.

*After 3 cancellations in a row, even with 24 hour or more notice, the client will no longer be allowed to reschedule without paying in advance to reserve the time.
**This applies to GIFT CARDS as well**

I understand life happens, unexpected things come up, but short notice cancellations, no shows or repeated cancellations is not only inconsiderate of my time, but it isn’t fair to the other clients trying to schedule that are willing to show for their appointments.

This work—this calling—is more than just helping someone relax.
It’s physical. It’s emotional. It’s soul work.

Every day, we show up and give parts of ourselves to help others heal.
We carry your pain—sometimes literally in our hands, sometimes silently in our hearts.
Our backs ache, our joints swell, and our energy runs low… but we stay grounded, focused, and present—because we know the power of this work.

What people don’t always see is what it takes to hold space for someone’s healing:
To feel the tension of trauma trapped in their muscles
To hear the tears hit the floor when the body finally lets go
To witness someone rediscover their breath, their range of motion, their sense of peace.
To remain calm and regulated while someone else unravels
To manage our own stress, exhaustion, grief, or pain—so we don’t pour it into you
To spend our off hours stretching, icing, and soaking so we can show up for you again tomorrow
To feel someone’s pain and still be gentle
To absorb the weight of stories we’ll never repeat but always carry

And then there’s what we endure behind the scenes.
We get asked if we “give extras.”
We get laughed at or sexualized when we say we’re massage therapists.
We get called “masseuses”—a word that feels like nails on a chalkboard, rooted in outdated and exploitative views.

We are Licensed Massage Therapists.
We are trained, educated, and ethical practitioners.
We are not here for entertainment.
We are here for healing.

And that healing?
It’s not just about the body.
It’s the woman with chronic pain who can finally sleep through the night.
It’s the man with PTSD who feels safe enough to close his eyes.
It’s the mom who carries the weight of the world but finally feels held herself.
It’s the client who comes in disconnected—and leaves back in their body.

Yes, this job is hard.
It hurts.
It drains.
It costs us more than people realize.
But it’s also beautiful.
Transformative.
Sacred.

So when you come to me, remember:
You’re not just booking a massage.
You’re not just paying for an hour on the table.
You’re paying for years of training, body strain, emotional labor, and deep compassion.

And I am damn proud of what I do.
You’re stepping into a space where real healing happens—
for you, and often, for me too.
