HOLIDAY SPECIAL!
20-Minute Japanese Bodywork Session
Experience the restorative power of traditional Japanese bodywork in this focused 20-minute session. Drawing from techniques of acupressure and shiatsu, this treatment works with your body’s natural energy pathways to release tension, improve circulation, and promote deep relaxation.

Two Session Options:
1. Floor Session (Fully Clothed)
Performed on the floor while fully dressed in loose clothing, this traditional approach allows for full-body treatment using the practitioner’s body weight and proper mechanics. Through rhythmic pressure, gentle stretches, and flowing movements along your body’s meridian lines, tension melts away as blocked energy is released. The practitioner uses palms, thumbs, elbows, and body weight to apply sustained pressure to key acupressure points, working systematically through areas of holding and stress.

2. Chair Session (also fully clothed)
Perfect for quick relief, this seated session focuses on the upper body’s primary stress-holding areas. While comfortably positioned in a specially designed massage chair, fully clothed, you’ll receive targeted work on your neck, shoulders, upper back, and arms. The practitioner applies precise pressure to release knots, ease headache-causing tension.
What to Expect:
Both sessions use firm but comfortable pressure, rhythmic compression, and specific acupressure points to address physical and energetic imbalances. No oils or lotions are used. This clothed approach makes it accessible, convenient, and ideal for those seeking relief without the time commitment of a full massage.

Leave feeling grounded, refreshed, and more connected to your body.

The Noren: Japan’s Timeless Threshold 🇯🇵
This split curtain hanging in the doorway is called noren, and it carries centuries of meaning.
A Living Tradition
Dating back to the Heian period (794-1185), noren began as simple fabric dividers to protect shop interiors from sun, wind, and dust. They evolved into something far more significant—visual storytellers of Japanese culture. Traditional noren display a shop’s name, family crest, or specialty.
The Language of Welcome
Around Japan, hanging noren signals “we’re open” at restaurants, bathhouses, and shops. When it’s taken down at day’s end, customers know to return tomorrow. It’s a silent conversation between business and community that has persisted for generations.
Sacred Boundaries
Beyond commerce, noren mark transitions between spaces—from public to private, ordinary to sacred. At temples and homes, they create a gentle boundary that invites respect while welcoming passage.
Artistry in Function
The deliberate split down the center isn’t just practical—it’s philosophical. You must engage with a noren, moving through it mindfully. It’s a small ritual that grounds you in the present moment.
Modern Revival
Today’s artisans continue this craft, blending traditional techniques with contemporary designs. Each noren remains carefully crafted in Japan, honoring methods perfected over centuries.
Next time you pass through a noren, pause for a moment. You’re participating in a ritual that connects present to past, visitor to place. 🎌

🌱 Plant Lovers Community 🌱
I’ve been studying plant medicine and am fully entrenched in the growing phase of my studies. Most recently inspired by Ron Finley, the“gangster of gardening” I learned something: when we outsource all our food, we outsource our power.
Growing your own food is rebellion. It’s taking back control of what goes into your body. It’s knowing where your meals come from. It’s connecting with the earth in a way our phones never will.
But here’s what surprised me most—it’s not just about the food. Every seed I plant feels like reclaimed independence. Every harvest ia small victory against a system that wants us dependent.
Ron Finley says “growing your own food is like printing your own money,” and he’s right. But it’s also about growing community, growing knowledge, and growing resilience.
If you’ve been thinking about starting, don’t wait for the perfect moment or the perfect garden. Start with one pot. One seed. One step toward food sovereignty. I have been trying to grow food that you can’t find in stores, because why not? PRICELESS! And as if by magic- I’m growing some cool ass s**t! These are some pictures of the plants and their flowers that I grew this past season.
🌿 I have a handful of plants for sale that I started from seed.
Currently (almost) ready to bed picked up:
Cossack pineapple ground cherry
Hibiscus
Blue butterfly pea
More to come…

✨ **Join Me: The 4 Elements Morning Challenge** ✨

Starting **11/11 through 12/12** — just ONE month to build a practice that could change your wellness journey.

Here’s the deal: Before you reach for your phone each morning, connect with the four elements in just a few minutes:

🔥 **FIRE** — Step outside for direct sunlight
🌍 **EARTH** — Stand barefoot on the ground
💧 **WATER** — Drink a full cup of water
🌬️ **AIR** — Take five deep, intentional breaths

That’s it. Simple, grounding, and completely free.

**Why it works:** Morning sunlight syncs your circadian rhythm, signaling your body to wake up naturally and improve sleep quality. Hydration kickstarts your digestive system. Deep breathing oxygenates your brain and activates your parasympathetic nervous system. And grounding? It connects you to the present moment before the digital world pulls you in.

The challenge? Commit to all 32 days. No phone first. Just you and nature’s reset button. And- any amount is the right amount. One day is better than none, it is a daily practice.

**Who’s in?** Let’s start our days with intention instead of scrolling.

*One month. Four elements. A totally new morning routine.*
….And also ps some other fun stuff to share. Small curated retail space shaping up. And views from Blue’s walks.

Origami - the Japanese art of paper folding offers more than just beautiful creations—it’s a powerful tool for mental and physical wellbeing.
😸Mindfulness in Motion
Origami demands your full attention. Each fold, each crease requires presence. As you transform a flat sheet into a three-dimensional form, your mind quiets and your breath steadies. It’s meditation with your hands.
😸Stress Relief
The repetitive, precise movements activate your parasympathetic nervous system—your body’s natural relaxation response. Studies show that engaging in origami can lower cortisol levels and ease anxiety.
😸Cognitive Boost
Following complex folding sequences strengthens spatial reasoning, memory, and problem-solving skills. It’s a workout for your brain that keeps your mind sharp at any age.
😸Fine Motor Skills
The delicate manipulation required in origami enhances hand-eye coordination and dexterity—benefits that extend to daily tasks and can be especially valuable as we age.
😸Digital Detox
In a screen-saturated life, origami offers a refreshing analog escape. Just you, paper, and the satisfaction of creating something tangible with your own hands.
😸Accessible to All
All you need is a piece of paper. No expensive equipment, no special space—just a moment of intention and creativity.
Ready to fold your way to wellness? Start with something simple today. Your mind and body will thank you. ✨ ( #3 📷credit Corinne of Alchemy)

Yesterday presented me the opportunity to support a client in preparing for labor. We first focused on soothing the body and working out some of the knots she picked up at work. (delivering other people’s babies!👶) Then we zoomed in on various intentional acupressure points, moxibustion and allowing her body to do its amazing work. I was so excited to learn that contractions started just a handful of hours later! Wishing the family a calm and beautiful birth. The human body and life is a miracle.

The day after the first full moon of the new year, I unexpectedly had a staring contest with a snake… and lost 😅 lost the staring contest, but walked away feeling empowered. (She was gorgeous and I hope I didn’t scare her)
2025 is a Year of the Snake. The year of the snake brings energies that support personal growth, transformation and wisdom. I read recently that one of the main, though uncomfortable lessons the snake is teaching us this year - is how to physically, emotionally, and spiritually LET GO. This resonated with me. I know that change can be painful, but it is necessary. A snake will die if it doesn’t shed its skin, as retained skin will restrict movement and cause infections. The old skin that used to protect it can be a source of weakness. Are there any aspects of your life where you can apply this snake energy? If there ever was a time, it is NOW! 🐍
