🍋 Kochi Yuzu Essential Oil
Complimentary & Limited Edition 🌿

This Japanese blend captures the gentle brightness of southern citrus groves, a scent both uplifting and deeply soothing.
Notes of Kochi-grown Yuzu mingle crisp tartness with soft warmth, evoking sunlight through open windows and the calm of soaking in a yuzu-scented bath on a quiet winter evening.

Where the Northern Blend feels cool and grounding, and the Southern Blend warm and smoky, Yuzu brings balance cheerful, refreshing, and quietly comforting, like a slow breath of golden light. The dry down gives a slight floral citrusy finish that is uplifting.

Handcrafted in small batches in Japan and not available for retail purchase, I’m sharing this as a complimentary gift with select sessions while supplies last. ✨

It’s the kind of aroma that lifts your mood, clears stagnant energy, and wraps your space in a soft, radiant glow.

💛 Limited quantity
💛 Handcrafted from Kochi Prefecture yuzu fruit
💛 Inspired by the gentle brightness of Japan’s southern citrus groves

If you love crisp, clean, citrus scents that feel both sunny and serene, you’ll fall in love with this golden blend. ☀️

🔥 Southern Forest Essential Oil Blend
Complimentary & Limited Edition 🌿

This Japanese blend carries the soul of the southern woods, warm, smoky, and deeply grounding. Notes of Yoshino Hinoki, Cedar Leaf, Camphor, Umbrella Pine, and Iyokan Citrus create a scent that feels like quiet sun through trees, glowing embers, and soft wood warmth.

Where the Northern Blend feels crisp and cooling, this one lingers low and earthy, soothing, steady, and comforting like a relaxed breath at sunset.

Handcrafted in small batches in Japan and not available for retail purchase, I’m sharing this as a complimentary gift with select sessions while supplies last. ✨

It’s the kind of aroma that anchors you, balancing warmth with a gentle citrus brightness, inviting peace back into your body.

🧡 Limited quantity
🧡 Handcrafted from plants native to Japan
🧡 Inspired by the grounding warmth of southern forests, Wakayama & Nara

If you love soft, smoky-woody scents with a touch of citrus, you’ll melt into this forest blend.

🌲 Northern Forest Essential Oil Blend Complimentary & Limited Edition 🌲

This beautiful Japanese blend captures the crisp, clear air of the northern forests; a scent that feels both grounding and renewing. Notes of Aomori Hiba, Japanese Cedar, Hinoki, Fir, and Ezo Spruce bring that refreshing, “forest after the rain” kind of calm. Tho there’s no mint in this blend, the crisp scent of Japanese Cypress and Spruce gives a naturally cooling finish similar to mint!

It’s made in small batches in Japan and not available for purchase here. I’m sharing it as a complimentary gift with select sessions while supplies last. ✨

It’s the kind of aroma that clears your head, steadies your energy, and quietly reminds you to exhale.

💙 Limited quantity
💙 Handcrafted from plants native to Japan
💙 Inspired by the stillness of northern woods Hokkaido

If you love earthy, clean, natural scents, you’ll definitely love this cooling forest blend.

I’m back! Here are some memorable highlights of my trip below. Food definitely played the part. What was my favorite? Probably shopping in Tokyo, my girlfriends and I agreed we would choose to go to Tokyo again. (While Okinawa was gorgeous, we also were struggling at the end of our stay from the heat) There was always plenty to do in Tokyo, and many options for shopping, restaurants, and more. Okinawa had a lovely relaxed paced to it, buuut we also were farther from shops & restaurants. Enjoyed it all, exploring the beautiful beaches of Okinawa and busy city life of Tokyo.

Oh… I didn’t mention I also brought some new essential oils from Japan. 🇯🇵 I’ve got 3 new ones for everyone to try while I have them 🥰
And once they’re gone, they are gone.

Stay tuned and I’ll showcase them over the next few days! Happy to be back home ❤️

Today I want to share what made me want to do massage for my career.

I was very lost when I was in my early 20’s and honestly had a bad falling out with another career path that I imagined it to be my whole life career. I felt dejected, upset, disappointed, and honestly so confused. Where was I even going?… Who did I want to be? And how did I want to show up in my career?

I saw an advertisement post for Raynor Massage course and thought, what the heck, I should give it a try. I might just walk away with being massaged on and that’s it.

But I wasn’t expecting, for all of what happened… It turned into the most life changing experience for me. Something unlocked when I was there. I was having an emotional release, every, single, day. To me, I didn’t understand why, or how someone could release so much feelings and heavy emotions through the power of touch.

I also remember my dad was very upset with me I spent a big investment for the two weeks I was attending. 😂

Perhaps it sounds a bit woo woo, but after having this huge pivotal point with massage. When I got back home, I told my parents I wanted to do this for my career, and I wanted to do this from the house. My mom told me I was glowing, and I looked different. Both of them were supportive of me, so we changed the bedroom into the massage room.

I felt the intense need, a spark was lit, to help others the way I was once helped. I wanted to show others how important massage was. How crucial and healing the modality is. How much it really changed my life and how much it could help others. Of course, physical benefits are amazing. Let’s not deny that, but there is something impactful when the massage uplifts you mentally & spiritually, really just overall being.

We’ve all gone through some stressful times in our life. Losing a loved one, being the caretaker 24/7, a divorce, over working, mental health & physical health issues. I adapted and customized The Lapis Touch massage I offer today, to help clients drop deeply within themselves & to have that inner peace; being present in their own body. This is why I chose to do massage as my career path. So many of you have already shared with me how massage has helped you to rest, release, or feel lighter, and it’s exactly why I’m so grateful for every single client who chooses to come see me.

✨ There are only 2 days left to enter my giveaway, the perfect way to begin if it’s been on your mind.

Thanks for the read, and I hope you all are enjoying your evening. ☺️
