New Year, Regulated Nervous System

New Year’s resolutions don’t stick when your nervous system is exhausted.

Massage helps shift your body out of fight-or-flight and into the parasympathetic state—where healing, clarity, and sustainable change actually happen.
✨ Less tension
✨ Better sleep
✨ Improved focus
✨ A body that feels safe again

A single 60-minute massage can give your nervous system the restorative benefits of deep rest—supporting your goals from the inside out.

This year, don’t push harder.
Choose regulation over resolution.

Let Go Before You Set Goals

Before you decide who you want to become in the New Year…
ask yourself what you’re ready to release.

Massage helps the body let go of what it’s been holding.

Hypnosis helps the mind release patterns that no longer serve you.

New beginnings land differently
when the body and mind aren’t carrying last year’s weight.

New Year, Regulated Nervous System

New Year’s resolutions don’t stick when your nervous system is exhausted.
Massage and hypnosis don’t ask you to “try harder.”

They help your body and mind feel safe enough to change.
✨ Massage supports the body
✨ Hypnosis supports the subconscious
✨ Both help shift you out of survival mode

When the nervous system is regulated, clarity follows—and change becomes sustainable.

We’re expanding our offerings at Change Your Pace to include hypnosis—
a gentle, evidence-supported way to work with stress, habits, and subconscious patterns.

Whether you’re drawn to bodywork or mind-based support, our intention remains the same:
to help you feel grounded, regulated, and supported.
✨ You heal. I heal. We all heal.

A Deeper Kind of Rest

True rest isn’t just sleep—it’s nervous system regulation.

Massage helps the body rest deeply.
Hypnosis helps the mind rest deeply.

When either one happens, the whole system benefits.

✨ Healing happens when the nervous system feels safe.

Stress Lives in More Than One Place

Stress doesn’t just live in your muscles.
And it doesn’t just live in your thoughts.
That’s why we offer both massage and hypnosis—
so you can choose the support that best meets you where you are.

Some days your body needs care.
Some days your mind does.
Both are valid.

Hypnosis: Subconscious Regulation

Hypnosis supports the nervous system through the subconscious mind.

It helps calm overactive thought patterns, release stress held beneath awareness, and create space for new, healthier responses.
✨ Less mental noise
✨ More clarity
✨ Greater emotional ease

Hypnosis isn’t about control—it’s about allowing the mind to settle.

Massage: Body-Based Regulation

Massage helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system—the part of you responsible for rest, digestion, and healing.

During massage:
• Muscles soften
• Breathing deepens
• Heart rate slows
• The body feels safe

This is why one hour of massage often feels deeply restorative—
your body finally gets permission to let go.

Two Ways We Support the Nervous System
At Change Your Pace, everything we offer supports one thing first:
your nervous system.

✨ Massage works with the body—muscles, fascia, breath

✨ Hypnosis works with the mind—subconscious patterns and stress responses

Different pathways.

Same intention: helping your system shift into rest and restore.

Did you know massage supports your parasympathetic nervous system?

That’s the part of your nervous system responsible for rest, digestion, repair, and healing.

When life keeps you in go-mode—stress, deadlines, screens, constant stimulation—your body lives in sympathetic overdrive (fight or flight). Massage gently invites your system to shift gears and return home to rest and restore.

✨ What happens during massage:
Heart rate slows
Breathing deepens
Muscles soften
Cortisol (stress hormone) decreases

The parasympathetic nervous system turns on
Researchers show that one hour of massage can feel as restorative as a full night of deep rest—not because it replaces sleep, but because the body finally drops into a state of true relaxation that it’s been craving.

Massage isn’t just a luxury.
It’s nervous system care.
If you’ve been feeling:
• Wired but tired
• Tense or achy
• Mentally foggy
• Emotionally overwhelmed
Your body may be asking for support—not another to-do item.

✨ Let your body rest so your life can flow.
✨ Healing happens when the nervous system feels safe.
✨ You heal. I heal. We all heal.
Ready to give your nervous system what it’s been asking for? 💛

What If Feeling Better Didn’t Require Pushing Harder?

So many people walk into the new year carrying the same tension from the last one—tight bodies, racing thoughts, shallow breath, and a nervous system that never quite powers down. If that sounds familiar, your body isn’t failing you. It’s protecting you.

At Change Your Pace – Therapeutic Massage & Bodywork, we focus on how the body holds experience—not just stress, but habits, emotions, and long-term patterns.

Here’s the truth:
Willpower alone doesn’t create lasting change.
Regulation does. Massage therapy works directly with your nervous system and connective tissue to:
💫Interrupt chronic tension patterns
💫Improve posture and movement efficiency
💫Signal safety to the brain
💫Support better sleep, digestion, and mood

When the body softens, the mind naturally follows.

What’s Coming in the New Year: Subconscious Healing

In the new year, we’re expanding into deeper inner work with hypnosis sessions led by Boone Pultz (Buddha Boone).

Hypnosis isn’t about control—it’s about access.

It allows you to work with the subconscious patterns that drive stress, self-sabotage, overthinking, and emotional overwhelm—without reliving the past or forcing change.

Massage addresses what the body remembers. Hypnosis helps update the nervous system’s “default settings.”

This is care that meets you where you are.
No fixing. No forcing. Just skilled support that helps your system reset and realign.
As you step into a new year, consider this your invitation to do things differently:
✔ Care for your body before pain becomes chronic
✔ Support your nervous system instead of overriding it
✔ Choose healing that feels sustainable, not exhausting

Book a massage now to close out the year grounded. Set your intention for hypnosis in the new year.

Your body already knows the way forward.
We’re here to help you listen.

Right now, I’m in the midst of huge changes.
And instead of fear… I feel the call.

And honestly—it feels really amazing.
One chapter is gently closing—Be the Change – The Healing Collective as a physical space.

And what I feel more than anything is freedom.
Freedom to expand.
Freedom to trust.
Freedom to let my wings open and allow myself to truly flow.

I’m learning (again and again) that when you let go of the rope, everything shifts.
When you stop forcing, gripping, or trying to control the outcome—and allow—
the right collaborations show up.
The right conversations arrive.
The right people and opportunities find you with ease.

That’s where I am right now.
In the flow.
In trust.
In a new energy that feels expansive, aligned, and alive.
I’m deeply excited to be opening myself to keynote speaking and Healer for Hire opportunities—
and at the same time, I’m wrapping up the final details of my book, which is slated to be released in March.

This season feels like both an ending and a beginning—held together by faith.
If you’re navigating change right now, I want you to hear this:
You’re not behind.
You’re not broken.
And you don’t need all the answers.

Sometimes the door closes so your wings can open. Sometimes freedom comes disguised as uncertainty. And sometimes trusting the process is the most powerful healing there is.
You heal. I heal. We all heal. ✨
