What's your favorite oil during your massage?

I love using the blends from Edens Garden for their quality and affordability. Bonus they are not a MLM company and they are a small family owned, woman-operated business!

Check my links if you want to see the other oils they offer!

Listen.

This is my perspective, but I feel 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘭𝘺 about "deep tissue" being a bs term.

Don't pay more for a pressure that gives you the best results. Communication during your massage is key to getting the results you want and deserve.

Curious about the items I use in the treatment room you could bring into your own home to create a space to regenerate in?

I list some of my favorite things in this new blog post:

The concept of "rest" extends beyond just physical relaxation or sleep. According to Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith, an internal medicine physician and author, there are seven different types of rest that individuals need to function at their best.

As a self-admitted overthinker, I realize that I can become hyperfocused on things that may the average massage connoisseur may not have thought about.
Like:
- an impermeable cover under the sheets that can be cleaned between clients ✔️
- super awesome peppermint foot cream with arnica, tea tree, and lemongrass ✔️
- a small flax pillow with an herbal blend perfectly warmed to place under your neck ✔️
- another flax eye pillow to place over your eyes just in case you want the room to be a little darker for your relaxation and the west facing windows allow a lot of light in the afternoon (6th floor problems) ✔️
- a weighted blanket in antimicrobial cover that's also covered by another clean sheet ✔️
- a tray to hold all of your personal items so they are easy to collect when your massage is done and you have "massage brain" ✔️
- a full length mirror in the treatment room and one outside of the treatment room so you can put yourself back together before you return to the real world ✔️

I'm curious though, what things do you most enjoy or look forward to?

If you’ve been in for a massage lately, you may have noticed my shoes are 2 colors. The truth is, I can’t find a full pair in one color but I’m calling it a win because they are both and I found a left and right shoe. I am confident their sole mates will show up eventually!

Some people have been asking how I came up with “llama hair”. Tell me I’m wrong 😜 it’s ok I like the look. Also please vote for in the Best of Wichita thing going on.

Hey, Hey, Hey, it's been a hot, humid, Wichita summer minute since I've been posting and I'm taking some action to change that.

If we haven't met before, I'm Rianne, a massage therapist, uni-parent, parallel entrepreneur, and contrarian. I'm approaching my 20th anniversary of being a massage therapist! I just realized this - during a massage - a week or so ago and I'm still trying to wrap my head around that!

This coming November will be our 5 year anniversary of living in and loving Wichita! (Seriously, where does the time go? It can't all be the pandemic time suck...)

I'm serious about massage and have some strong feeling around the profession. That's why I:
- only have 1 price for any type of massage, because discussions around money when a client is already on the table is ICKY, I don't think women should pay a pink tax, and it's weird to me to expect clients to know all the nuances in the different modalities of massage.
- have ALWAYS had pretty high standards when it comes to sanitation, it's not just a thing I picked up because of COVID. (I'm the kind of massage therapist that thinks reusing the same blanket on all my clients day after day without washing it is super gross and has annoyed employers for washing stuff or asking for extras...seriously...)
- believe massage isn't just about rubbing muscles - it's about affecting the nervous system and that's what really helps your muscles and stress and anxiety and depression... I could go on and on...

Most importantly, after (cough, cough) 20 years I still LOVE providing massage for people.

How long have you been in your current profession and how long have you lived in Wichita?!
