BRRRRrrrrr... Good wintery morning!
It’s chilly out there — and for many of us, the cold brings stiffness in the joints, tension in the muscles, and a strong urge to hibernate. The winter blues can creep in, too.
Our nervous system works harder in the cooler months, using extra energy to stay warm. The sympathetic (fight-or-flight) response is more easily activated, causing the body to brace against the cold. As cortisol (our stress hormone) rises, we may feel more anxious, fatigued, or on edge.
Meanwhile, the rest-and-digest response slows down — less sunlight and lower melatonin levels can make sleep lighter and moods heavier.
Massage is a powerful way to support the nervous system and bring the body back into balance. It helps tonify the parasympathetic response, easing tension and restoring calm across the body, mind, and emotions.
Come step into my heated, cozy space and be nurtured.
Each session blends remedial massage, Lomi Lomi flow, warmed oil, hot stones, and intentional touch to melt away tension and bring you back to yourself.
