I've got some new things brewing! Time for a new brand image. I can't decide on a logo! I have a thing for triangles bc of the mind-body-spirit symbolism and its still cohesive with my previous brand I built. But the first one is a whole new vibe and I dig it! Help a girl out! Which one do you like?

Happy Holidays and Best wishes for 2023!
I hope all of you are doing well this holiday season!

2022 has definitely been a year of growth for me. I’ve had to take some moments this past year to go deep and reflect on who I am and what I truly want. Not only as a massage therapist and business owner but on a personal level too. Whew!

With that said, I have some bittersweet news to deliver. As of the end of 2022, I am closing my office. Life has opened up alternative opportunities for me. Opportunities that will create my next chapter! I’m super excited to see where these take me!

Most of you know that I’m not a “put all my eggs in one basket” kind of person. I will be venturing into a marketing/business admin opportunity but helping people heal is a part of my true purpose. I promise that this isn’t the last time you’re going to see or hear from me! I will be reaching out with info regarding a new avenue of healing therapy. Once I have all systems in place to introduce to you, I’ll reach out!

I want to express extreme gratitude for each and every one of you! I’m honored and blessed that I’ve had the chance to be a part of your journey whether it was one time or years of sessions! You’ve each had an incredible impact on me as well! I can’t begin to count how many times I’ve said that God and the Universe brought me all the amazing people! You’re each super special to me!

I hope you have a very happy holiday celebrating with friends and family!
Cheers to 2023 and what’s to come for all of us!

I love you all!
♥️ Danielle

𝘽𝙊𝙐𝙉𝘾𝙀𝘽𝘼𝘾𝙆 (𝙢𝙮 𝙛𝙖𝙫𝙚!) is an absolute must-have because it is a triple-potency repair serum that delivers a specific blend of peptides that signal the skin to rebuild its collagen.

You can expect to see your skin looking younger and smoother within a few weeks. These ingredients target fine lines, sun damage, heat damage, and acne scars, resulting in skin that looks healthier and younger.

Those with active acne will notice the scars being greatly reduced and healing much faster.

Think of it like a perfect superfood cocktail for collagen repair and new collagen stimulation.

This serum is also designed to be massaged in so it works with your body's circulation and activates the healing response from every angle.

The peptides and collagen stem cells are also called "epidermal growth factors" AKA EGF's and are very potent in this formula. The peptides communicate with the skin to supercharge the collagen production and healing process. 🙌🏻

🔹 Memories, traumas and unprocessed emotions.
🔹 Nervous system patterns (neural loops) related to childhood traumas, beliefs, fears and habituated behaviors of thinking, feeling and willing (action).
🔹 Structured water, which is a conduit of electricity and energy in the body. Some people believe it is the structured water that houses human consciousness.
🔹 Physical traumas, scar tissue and injury histories.
🔹 Nerve receptors related to: our ability to move with a high degree of sensory awareness (proprioception); our ability to know what is us vs not us, which is critical for isolating true invaders of the body vs our own cells (interoception and exteroception); gut wisdom, intution and a sense of inner knowing (vagus nerve and the gut-brain axis).
🔹 Our primary protection mechanisms when we feel threatened, which triggers a cascade of thoughts, emotions and behaviors that, left unconscious, dictate our lives at the level of survival biology.
🔹 Our most deeply rooted fears and core values (which are sometimes obscured from even the most self-aware people).
🔹 The "pretend" self, otherwise known as the ego, sometimes called the lower self. This is the version of our personality that we deploy in nearly every life situation to protect our true identity from harm. This is when we evolve beyond survival biology, and there is the very real opportunity to learn how to direct your own physiology with your consciousness (like consciously directing blood flow, regulating your nervous system, slowing your heart rate etc).
🔹 And of course: fascia, muscles, bones, organs and everything we need physically (materially) to thrive in this physical world: healthy tendons and ligaments, healthy bones, joints, muscles and nerves.

Fascia, Muscles, and Nerves…OH MY! 🙌🏻

We’re programmed for survival. We adapt coping mechanisms for protection as we go experience life.

We adapt these behaviors or Survival Patterns to keep ourselves safe. You’ve allowed the trauma to take control. You’re true Self is powerless.

It’s time to change that! Thank you Protector System for keeping me safe but I’m ready to step into who I truly am!

Say it with me: I surrender to my Creator’s protection and release the need to control and protect myself. My own survival mechanisms are outdated. I an ready to embrace a new me and a new life filled with Love.

♥️

I don’t know who wrote this but it’s beautiful and SO true.

Surrender is often a misinterpreted action 🌹

Deep deep down, a woman just wants to surrender.

Her heart. Her brain. Her body. Her womb. Her love.

She doesn’t want to be the boss all day long.

She doesn’t want to always be in control.

She doesn’t want to remind her lover to take the trash out.

She doesn’t want to be in her masculine every day.

She wants to surrender.

To release & feel at ease.
Taken care of & nurtured. ♥️💯

The paradigm of women’s power & women’s rights has shifted so much in the past 100 years, that many women have unconsciously denied their desire to surrender.

Not just to the masculine, but to life itself.

Leaving little time for themselves to connect with their bodies, emotions, and endless bliss.

Women have adopted the masculine role in their lives to survive.

We have our own jobs, pay our own bills, raise our own children, mow our own lawns, etc.

This has caused women to disconnect from their authentic core desires and needs.

Surrendering is a powerful practice when done with awareness.

There is a fear that surrender is weak & irresponsible.

That you must always be in the grit and fight with all you have to climb to the top.

And you can live your whole life that way, until at one point you might decide that something within you feels lackluster.

It’s often at that point when a woman decides to put her battle armor down, and return to her own tender yearning heart.

Surrendering to love. To life. To her man.

Giving someone else permission to lead, while she rests in the safety of being held.

It’s ok if you want to be held, instead of the one always holding.

It’s ok if you want to be seen, instead of being the see-er.

It’s ok if you want to surrender, put your hands up, and let life take you into its wild, strong arms.

As a feminine being, your surrender is not only sexy & powerful, it is necessary for balance in your life + the world.

Connect with your heart & explore what it means for you to safely surrender 🌹

“The lymph vessel is yellow because it is a lipid (cholesterol) based flow. The blood is alkaline and we call it the kitchen of the body because it feeds your trillions of cells. The lymph is your body's sewer system and it carries away this toxic, acidic, cellular waste.

Hard to imagine in this day and age, but very little is actually known or understood about the body's lymphatic system. (Research the history of Rockefeller medicine.) The lymphatic system must clean 2 - 3 pounds of toxic, acidic, cellular waste each day. You are either removing lymphatic waste or accumulating it. There is no middle ground. You must visibly move it out of the body via the lymphatic system's channels of elimination which are the kidneys, the bowels and the skin. No matter what you have been led to believe, if your urine is clear, you're accumulating it.

Current medical theory is that lymphatic waste empties into the venous system via the superior vena cava. If this were the case, and the toxic, acidic (acids are HOT and burn cells), cellular waste drained back into the blood, would this not critically and fatally throw off the blood pH, which must maintain a critical alkaline balance at all times? It doesn't make sense, which is why we now believe it drains into the kidneys where it is filtered...proven by tens of thousands of cases of visible lymphatic sediment in urine when following a proper detoxification protocol to heal.

Your lymphatic system is three times larger than the blood. It is the system where 99% of all pain, inflammation, dis eases and conditions originate. It is your body's gigantic sewer system / immune system / lipid carrier system / lubricating system. Clean it out and your pain, inflammation, dis eases and conditions cease to exist.

This is cutting-edge information (actually, decades old - a blip in time) that Big Pharma does not want you to know. They spend millions every year suppressing this information. Why? Because detoxification reveals that all dis ease is systemic. They are not separate entities. This means that they don't really exist. Symptoms are real. Dis eases and conditions are not. What will happen with all those chemical drugs and all that money and all those jobs when all those who have awakened heal themselves?”

🎇 Happy Independence Day! 🎆

Childhood conditioning and Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) have a major impact on your nervous system and can create triggers/activators in adulthood that can cause psychosomatic effects like pain, illness, disease, and addiction.

These don’t always have to major events or major things that stand out in your mind. Sometimes the little things add up and create that ball of frenzy in our nervous system response. Let’s work through those things so you are able to calm the response faster to lessen stress and anxiety. 💚💕

♥️

Simple mediation to start connecting with your higher power. Be it God, the Universe, Source, Creator or your own Higher Self, whichever you choose:

Find a calm place. Simply sit in silence and say, "I'm ready for the message you have for me that is of the light and truth." Then close your eyes and wait. You might have a vision, hear something, or even feel the message in your gut or heart.

Don't feel frustrated if you don't receive anything at first. It takes much practice and patience. It can take weeks, months or even years to receive clear messages. Open yourself to receive and be still. It will come!

"It is most likely the fascia of the body that is the shaper of the body in reaction to trauma. Fascia is the connective tissue in the body that surrounds all of our bodily structures. Our fascia itself is a dimension of wholeness. It is made of interconnected tissues that reach everywhere in our body. In the living body, it is a fluid medium that appears to react to both physical and emotional stresses, and then harden, over time, into those reactive shapes. Although this requires more research to establish scientifically, there is a great deal of anecdotal evidence to suggest that the fascia stores the emotional charge of trauma and even the memories of the trauma, or at least, provides access to those memories. In this way, working with the fascia provides a comprehensive approach to releasing trauma from all aspects of the physical body, as well as releasing emotions that are held in the body, and bringing to awareness the memories and beliefs associated with the traumatic events so we may resolve them. The nervous system naturally relaxes into its parasympathetic mode as well, as we release the constrictions within our whole body."

Trauma and the Unbound Body

Focus on your breath! Focus on your diaphragm! That powerful muscle that helps us breathe!

👉🏼 When we breathe consciously and practice proper posture, we keep the cells in the body intact and in their appropriate positions. When we don’t, the chest literally collapses into the core of the body, taking away our inner space and limiting the diaphragm’s ability to function. The result is a displacement of tissue outward, also known as bulging belly and love handles. This is why it is harder to “lose weight” as we get older. It isn’t the weight we should be trying to lose; it is the internal space we should be focused on gaining.

The body collects all the data of our life from the second we’re conceived.

Yes…conceived! Actually before that but that a different story for a different post.

If your mother experience any trauma while you weee in her womb, that has an effect on your nervous system too!

Once you are born, you begin to collect more data, aka traumas.

Traumas register on your nervous system in vastly different ways. Sometimes the impact it makes can be self destructing.

Working with qualified therapists, coaches, and bodyworkers can help you heal.

Move forward. The first step is contacting someone who can help YOU heal. Let someone guide you to finding the freedom you deserve!

Whoa 😳🤯😱 Holy muscles!!! IG fam swipe to see the labeled description!

It’s your choice!

I see you…I feel you…I understand you…

Combining this practice with massage and bodywork is a game changer! Let me guide you through the process so you can find freedom within your body!

But have you tried cupping on your feet?!

Instead of applying positive pressure to the fascia, which is what massage does to restricted/damaged tissue, cupping applies negative pressure to the plantar surface, heels, and calves. This allows for blood flow to circulate to promote healing! Which then helps muscles and ligaments to loosen!

Who needs this?!!!
