🌟 Being a good mom doesn’t mean you have to be superhuman. Sometimes, the best thing you can do is take a step back, recharge, and give yourself a little grace. 💖

✨Remember, you can be an amazing mom *and* still need a break. It’s okay to pause, breathe, and focus on you.

🛋️ How do you recharge when you need a break? Share your self-care tips in the comments below! 👇

Baby boy is still cookin away!
Today is his “due date” 40 weeks.

How many weeks were you when your baby (babies) arrived?

Like we predicted, fertility is harder after the c vac. A while ago I posted a client success story about a woman who had 6 miscarriages, came to see me, and then had a beautiful pregnancy and baby girl.

I have more of these women in the works. One struggled getting pregnant, miscarried, but now she’s 32 weeks. Another just had her first visit, and she’s an excellent candidate for what I do.

First - maybe it’s my new niche and maybe it’s not, but I know how to help these women. Fertility sometimes just takes a little time and few tools, and sometimes it takes a lot of time and many tools, but I’m willing to do the work if you are.

Second - I hope this speaks to how I won’t judge you when you come in the door. If you know me, you know how I feel about vac, and I’ll continue to be loud about it, but that never means I won’t help someone.

I just want everyone to be free. Health freedom. Financial freedom. And to just feel free. 🩵 Comment "fertility" below if you need help.

BAYLOR UNIVERSITY PUBLISHES LARGEST STUDY EVER ON MASSAGE THERAPY USE

July 2024

"Many people receive massage therapy and for many reasons. But according to a new study – the largest and most comprehensive ever conducted on the subject – the prevalence of visits to massage therapists is higher than one might have imagined and the reasons may be surprising."

“What our study shows is that it’s probably not helpful any longer to label massage as an ‘alternative’ therapy, with all of the marginality that the term conveys.”

“Licensed massage therapists ought to be respected as mainstream practitioners, whose profession provides a therapeutic approach not just to address pain and functional challenges but to foster wellness and overall well-being, physical and emotional.

Everyone can benefit from working with a skilled massage therapist. They’re the hidden gems in the healthcare system.” - Jeff Levin, Ph.D., M.P.H., University Professor of Epidemiology and Population Health. (Robert Rogers/Baylor University)

Oh my gosh! Look at this handsome baby boy that modeled for me today. 🥰♥️

Dedication, determination, support, strength, tears, frustration, education, mentors, encouragement, growth, communication: these are some words that come to mind when I think about the past 9 years of being in business! ♥️🙌🎉

Crazy to think it’s been NINE YEARS since my very first day of opening my very own massage business! I am over joyed by the support I have received over the years and to see where I am today is amazing. Seriously a dream of mine and to see where I have gone in business brings so much joy to me. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!🥰
Wait for the next post of my first room to my room now! ♥️
