You don't have to become your bulging disc. You CAN heal!

Bigger Herniations = Better Healing?!
Sounds backwards… but the science supports it 💡

Your disc can go through 4 stages:
• 💠 Bulge – disc pushes out but wall intact
• 💠 Protrusion – wall weakens, disc presses more
• 💠 Extrusion – disc breaks through wall but stays attached
• 💠 Sequestration – fragment breaks off completely

Most people (and even some doctors) panic when they see a “large herniation” on MRI:
🚫 “Oh no… it’s huge. That must be bad.”

But here’s the truth 👉 Evidence shows extruded and sequestered discs (often the bigger ones) actually heal at higher rates.
📊 Research found spontaneous regression happens in:
• Bulges ≈ 13%
• Protrusions ≈ 52%
• Extrusions ≈ 70%
• Sequestrations ≈ 93%

🔥 Why? Once the disc material escapes, your body’s immune system recognizes it as foreign, sends in macrophages, and literally absorbs it away.

✅ Bottom line: Your discs are living tissue. They can heal, adapt, and remodel. Don’t let a scary MRI dictate your future.

🌿✨ Important Update ✨🌿

I’ll be stepping away for surgery this fall, which means my last day of massage appointments will be November 13th. 💆‍♀️

➡️ Now is the time to book if you’d like to get on the schedule before then!

I plan to reopen in January 2026 once I’m fully healed.

In the meantime, gift cards are available — they make beautiful holiday gifts (or a little treat for yourself to use in the new year!). 🎁💚

Thank you for supporting me through this pause — I’m so grateful for this community and can’t wait to see you all again in the new year. 🙏

In a world that constantly asks us to go, do, and produce, this season whispers a different message:

Turn inward. Rest. Reset.

🍂 Listening to Nature’s Rhythm:

If we pay attention, the natural world models balance better than we ever could.

Summer calls us outward — to expand, explore, and express. Fall, on the other hand, invites us back home — into our bodies, our hearts, and our inner worlds.

Just like the trees draw their energy inward to nourish their roots, we too can use this time to restore our foundation.

🍁Maybe that means saying no to what drains you.

🍁Maybe it’s carving out quiet moments for reflection.

🍁Or simply slowing your breath and noticing the beauty in small, simple things — a warm mug between your palms, the sound of rain, the rhythm of your own heartbeat.
