Louder for the people in the back 👏👏👏
Many people come in for a massage asking for "deep tissue" with no real idea of what that means other than they associate it with "no pain no gain".
I overheard someone talking yesterday saying that if the therapist didn't "break their hand working on them" they didn't want that therapist.
Deep pressure is rarely precise. And often it creates more issues in your pain cycles over time. Crushing nerves and healthy tissue is not the solution.
Firm or deep pressure is not inherently bad, but please don't ask your therapist to hurt you thinking it will make your pain better. Please be patient if it feels like the pressure is not enough, we may still be warming up your muscles to get more targeted work done.

Assisting an abdominal therapy class in Tryon NC until Sunday. See you next week!

A reminder that we all need ✨

Still chilly enough to enjoy a hot stone massage!
Request it for your next session!

Consistency is key ✨

Y'all know I never get tired of talking about abdominal therapy. What you may not know is that if you've ever been on my table for low back pain, chances are you've had some abdominal therapy work.
Because of the nerve and fascial connections to the pelvic bowl and digestive system, we spend a great deal of time in an abdominal therapy session on the back, sacrum, and coccyx.
To get a more complete session with better results for back pain, you should book yourself a full abdominal therapy session.

Last minute space open for tomorrow!
60 or 90 min at 4 pm

Helping set up a student to try out pelvic steaming!
Pelvic steaming is an ancient practice that can help with pelvic floor pain, menstrual issues, dryness, and fertility support. Even men can steam for certain conditions, and with certain modifications.

During part of my trip to Belize I was able to assist the wonderful Eva of Rainforest Remedies with an abdominal therapy part 1 class (also pictured is assistant Belen).
Speaking of Rainforest Remedies, be on the lookout for some upcoming news 😍 lots of things to share with you after my time in the jungle.

Last space open for January! There's room for a 90 min or a 120 min :)

I spend a great deal of time balancing clients hips! Did you know that you don't need a chiropractor to "pop" your hips back into place?
In my opinion, muscular work is more effective anyways because you work to prevent the muscles from just seizing back up and rotating or shifting your hips again the minute you walk out the door.

Snag an open appointment while you can! Fall is a busy time, don't let your self care "fall" to the wayside! 🍁🍂🎃

"Do you train for your job?"
Massage therapists are often asked this question.
Today I found my original class materials binder from over a decade ago. This wasn't even 1/4th of the reading materials and textbooks that we studied, much less all of the hands on hours and student clinic that we worked. Since graduation in 2012 I also have attended hundreds of hours of additional continuing education and advanced certifications. So yes, your massage therapist went to school. And they studied HARD.

This was a lovely client with a supra cervical hysterectomy scar I recently got to work on. ScarWork can be excellent for reducing puckering, pain, or pulling in the scar. ScarWork can also improve the look of a scar by reducing redness, helping to flatten the scar, and sometimes even shrinking the overall size.

I spent 4 days at an advanced pregnancy class taught through the
This class was absolutely amazing and spent time talking about specifics to pregnant anatomy, helping center baby, helping prepare the mothers body for birth, helping momma to breathe better, and more. I love this work 💚

.collective did actually manage to get a photo of me smiling 🫠
I recommend him highly if you need content made.

Listen, I get it. You spent all weekend playing hard, now you've got all week to work hard. You take care of your spouse, your kids, your pets....but then you leave bread crumbs of self care for YOU. Please book yourself a massage! You deserve it!

One day, it will be a VERY bad day 🤣🤣🤣
