Happy Lunar New Year 🐴 🎆

Today starts the Chinese New Year known as the year of the Fire Horse. It is a rare event that happens every 60 years and signifies gas paced energy, independence, passion, action and transformation.

How are you intentionally entering this new year?

As Massage Therapists, we cannot legally diagnose an issue. We may have opinions, we may validate your pain and give you ideas of why the pattern is occurring.

We are trained to listen to your body :
✨through the story you are telling us about your pain or injury
✨ based on our assessment of your soft tissue, movement patterns and posture
✨ through the intelligence and sensitivity of our fingertips and hands, a skill honed by countless hours of practice and repetition

We can feel density in your tissues, restriction in your muscles, trigger points, fluidity in your fascia but what I feel through my hands is not a diagnosis, it’s information.

It’s all I want….

I genuinely want the best for you and think you deserve the world. I think about you when you’re not here, how your daughters wedding went, what happened on your family thanksgiving, if you got tan on your vacation, how your handling your pain before your knee surgery, how you doing as you are about to go into labor, if you got the new job. You are always on my mind and in my heart.

People say “not to take your work home” but when home is in your heart, know you are always with me.

We have a sacred trinity of experience held within our bodies. The body, mind and spirit are all connected through an invisible thread. When one area is neglected, it tugs the fabric of the whole being.

While yes, we can release muscle tissue, chronic tightness or anything physical, we cannot release the emotions stored or associated with pain/trauma without the mind coming online and processing the experience.

Last week I had a client say to me, “I want you to see where I am storing trauma in my muscles.” While I can feel the tension, I cannot tell what emotions are stored there or why. I continued the massage and then just let her speak, her unload the tension of her life while addressing the physical.

The unwinding happened through her own processing. When her mind came online, as I was simultaneously releasing physical tension, magic happened.

We co-create these sessions together. I am so honored to hold space while I see this sacred trinity of the body, mind and spirit come into union in front of my eyes.

🌿 One massage is like watering a plant once and expecting it to thrive through every season.
You are a plant with far more complex emotions and needs!

Real change happens gradually — through small, consistent deposits into your well-being.

I believe in a holistic approach to health. Massage alone won’t solve all the world’s problems, but when paired with strength training, stretching, mindfulness, functional movement, presence practices, faith, and self-awareness, true transformation begins to take root.

✨ How are you making a daily deposit in your health?
