Oh the summer fun in Central Texas! Pools, Gardening, Fitness, Vacations, Driving, Canning...Building memories for sure! However, each of these activities have their own hazards to our bodies and can leave us with aches that detract from the fun aspect! Call me for a soothing Swedish massage or regional Deep Tissue and get back to enjoying your summer! Your Table is Waiting!

Valentine's week! I prefer to celebrate love all year long but sometimes it's nice to have an excuse for something extra special! If you are familiar with essential oils then you have probably heard of Ylang-Ylang. It is from delicate yellow flowers that grow in tropical regions and has historically been a scent associated with love (such as fresh flowers strewn on the bed of newlyweds). However, Ylang Ylang is known for antidepressant qualities as well, making it an ideal massage oil for Valentine's! If you would like a luxuriantly scented massage this week, give me a call/txt. For this week only, book a Swedish Relaxation or Deep Tissue and receive the complimentary aromatherapy of Ylang Ylang to accentuate therapuitic massage!

A New Year is upon us! Merry Christmas to my friends and clients! 2018 has been a year of redirecting priorities; a year of learning to navigate gains, losses, new ventures and life lessons! In May I took an extended leave from massaging at the Hometown Spa in Early to welcome a new baby to our family. My time at Hometown Spa was a great experience as I got to know the wonderful staff and met some fantastic clients!
During my maternity leave I have investigated options that would allow me to continue to serve clients, yet also facilitate the needs of my family. In the coming new year I plan to resume offering massage therapy on a more limited schedule and at a location closer to my home. I plan to offer massage through the Hometown Spa on Saturdays only; once they are established in their new location in Brownwood. All other aspects of massage services remain the same:
Full-Body Relaxation
Deep Tissue
Hot Stone Add-on Treatment
I am currently pursuing certification in the use of Therapeutic Essential Oils. I am excited to soon be offering this additional add-on service to accentuate the healing benefits of massage therapy!
I look forward to serving you soon!
Blessing & Grace throughout your holiday season.
Send me a text with any questions and to book your next massage!

I will miss my clients over the next few months! I am just a few days shy of delivering baby #6! I certainly have enough family to massage to keep up my hand-skills while on maternity leave! I also hope to utilize my time in pursuing further certification in Fascilitated Stretching, Hot Stones and Cupping. All three may be a bit ambitious but these are the areas I want to further my knowledge because I believe each will be a tremendous benefit to clients and friends. Of the three, what would you like to have available as an added service to Massage? Thanks for feedback!

Spring Break is here! Amidst outdoor projects, recreation and hopefully some good grub off the grill...BREAK AWAY for a MASSAGE before you get back to the grind and routine! Book your appointment at the Hometown Spa or don't even leave the house; I can come to you! Get out, don't get blown away, have fun, enjoy your loved ones, start a stretching habit and RELAX!

March is here! That means Spring! I am really looking forward to some brighter scenery than dead grass and bare pastures! What Spring activities do you have planned? Gardening, Fitness, Cleaning, DIY projects? Any of these get you physically active; which is needed after being indoors more than not during chilly weather. If your muscles are sore and your joints are protesting the change of pace, then you might be up for a little promo I am doing to celebrate Spring! A couple weeks back I shared a YouTube link on using a tennis ball for pinpointing tight knots and using your body weight to apply pressure and gain some pain relief between massage appointments. I have also highlighted a really great product I use with clients for topical pain relief; called Super Aloe by L'BRI. Well...when you book 2 Massage Appointments for the month of March, you receive a Free tennis ball and sample packet of Super Aloe to get you through those Spring projects! Just a little gift of 2 items I personally use and recommend on a regular basis. Have fun and enjoy the change of season!

Loving this weather! So, so nice to get some sun after weeks of cold and sickness going around! I was unable to massage my hubby for 2 weeks while he fought off a sinus infection so he finally got some relief yesterday from all the achiness! Massage while you are sick or coming down with something may sound nice but can actually accelerate your symptoms. Massage stimulates your lymphatic system which is already hard at work when under attack by a virus or infection. You can think of it as pressing fast forward on your symptoms which in theory may shorten the overall sickness period but may also make you feel worse before you feel better. However, when your symptoms are gone, and you are regaining your strength, massage is a great way to feel better! Come see me at Hometown Spa or give me a call and I'll come to you after you've beat the flu bug!

Have you ever been relaxing on the massage table, hoping the stress and tension melts away before your hour is up...and suddenly the Therapist finds a super tender spot and you hear something like, "Yep, you really have a lot of tension in this area" ( like you didn't realize that already 😕)! Maybe you regularly receive Deep Tissue Massage and kind of anticipate the pressure of working out that tension but wish there was something you could do between massages to keep the knots from getting out of hand. In an earlier post I wrote about the easiest self therapy that's free: stretching! Well, combined with stretching, I wanted to talk about the next most economical self-therapy: a tennis ball! I used a tennis ball today to target a trigger point (painful knot) in my hips that was making me wince when I went to get dressed or squat down to pick up things on the floor. By pressing the ball on a precise point, using your body weight, you can help make those knots dissipate! There are several useful YouTube videos illustrating how to do this for hips, quads, shoulders, glutes etc. Basically you are placing the ball in the general area of the knot, pressing against the floor, wall, chair etc and gently rolling it until it hits on THE SPOT which will probably "hurt so good". Once you find the spot, stop rolling and keep the steady pressure for about 20 seconds and up to a couple of minutes. When the pressure is really intense, take deep, slow breaths. The "good-pain" should start to lesson after about 10-15 seconds until it virtually dissipates. Usually those knots come in groups and you can simply adjust your weight and find another one. If possible, follow this exercise with a few minutes of stretching, then let the area rest before exerting those muscles heavily (don't go right into a workout). Here is one link showing how to do this self trigger point massage on the upper trapezius muscles of the shoulder. https://youtu.be/HzVO9DU-bog
Look for a special coming up for a free tennis ball and pain-relieving creme!

Famous Physical Therapist's Bob Schrupp and Brad Heineck describe a simple method for releasing the knots or trigger points in your shoulders. Make sure to l...

If your weekends have been hectic lately and you'd like to relax this Saturday; I have an opening at the Hometown Spa at 11:15am. Supposed to be nice weather too! Enjoy your Saturday and get refreshed to tackle another week! 😉

I have used some great products for topical pain relief. I am not affiliated with any company or individual, yet I plan to share various products that experience has proven valuable in massage. The L'BRI Super Aloe Pain Relief Cream is truly an awesome product and is the first one I want to make folks aware of. One tube lasts a long time, doesn't feel greasy and has ingredients you don't have to feel uneasy about.

Relieves these symptoms: Arthritis Pain, Shoulder Pain, Muscle Sprains, Back Aches, Hip Pain, Tendonitis, Knee Pain, Neck Pain, and Bruises. Active Ingredients: Methyl Salicylate (10%), Menthol (3%), Lidocaine Hydrochloride (1%), Capsaicin (0.025%).

So you've received a Therapeutic Massage, or perhaps a Chiropractic adjustment, and maybe you can breathe again and feel relief from that nagging tension that really makes you cranky (or is that just me?)! Yet, predictably, the tightness creeps back in; or seemingly, a single movement stresses your muscles and you're back to wincing through your day. What if there was a way you could greatly prolong the benefits of a good massage? For FREE? It's simple, it's too simple and so we don't give it priority. STRETCH! You don't have to take a yoga class; you can stretch anytime and truly feel the results. We tend to scramble at fixing something after the damage is screaming at us, instead of integrating habits that are insurance against injury. I am becoming more and more convinced (personal experience and professional observation) that habitual stretching techniques can empower anyone to bring relief to the tension that just "won't go away". There are some guidelines to effective stretching routines. I hope to post more about this topic. In the meantime; check out a couple of links below:

The weather outside is truly frightful! 25 degrees with wind that makes it feel like zero! For us central Texas folks, that's COLD! If the idea of getting out in this weather to get a massage is enough to pretend you are stress-free and don't need one...well, guess what? I will come to you, and no extra charge for the frightful cold! Stay toasty in your own home, enjoy a delightful massage and hot towels to remind your feet that they matter.😉.

Does the idea of getting a massage sound fantastic but you're not sure your home will accommodate the setup of a mobile service? Or perhaps you would rather have the option to "get away" for a bit and relax. I am excited to announce that i can now offer massage at the Hometown Spa in Early! Availability is limited but I have an opening at 6:45 this evening. If you choose to receive a massage at the Hometown Spa versus me setting up at your home, there is a discount available! Message me with questions or to book your appointment 😊!
