Try this Belly Breathing exercise to give yourself a good reset. Swipe to the second picture for hand placement. Then read below for some lung facts!

1. Sit or lie flat in a comfortable position.
2. Put one hand on your belly just below your ribs and the other hand on your chest.
3. Take a deep breath in through your nose, and let your belly push your hand out. Your chest should not move.
4. Breathe out through pursed lips as if you were whistling. Feel the hand on your belly go in, and use it to push all the air out.
5. Do this breathing 3 to 10 times. Take your time with each breath.
6. Notice how you feel at the end of the exercise.

Did you know that we breathe 17,000 to 30,000 times a day!! While at rest, on average, you will breathe 16 breathes per minute. A breath is inhaling AND exhaling.

Everyone is familiar with taking a deep breath in, but most people don’t think about doing the same when exhaling. Our exhale is just as important and should be even a bit longer than the inhale.

We have four types of long volume:
1. Tidal volume - how much you inhale and exhale in an average cycle (approx. A 20 ounce bottle)
2. Expiratory Reserve volume - EXTRA amount of air that can be exhaled AFTER a normal exhale.
3. Inspiratory Reserve volume - EXTRA amount of air that can be inhaled AFTER a normal inhale.
4. Residual Volume - there is always a small amount of air left in the lungs which keeps the lung tissue from sticking together and helps regulate CO2 and O2.

I’m so happy to have a space to call my own and grow in. I’m starting my fourth month of owning my own business and it hasn’t been easy but it HAS been what I want.

I’m looking forward with positive eyes on how I will develop my own style of space and atmosphere. My goal is to have a grounding and relaxing space with art that also has educational posters.

I clean my workspace using . It is on the EPA’s list of Disinfectants for Use Against SARS-CoV-2.

The appliance uses electric current and a solution of; water, salt and vinegar, to create Sodium Hydroxide to clean and Hypochlorous Acid to disinfect.

This is a hospital-grade sanitizer and disinfectant, with no harsh or toxic chemicals.

This technology has been used in large scale production for decades but thanks to Force of Nature the mechanical process can now be done at home or at work.

A sound MIND resides within a sound BODY!
This has been my favorite quote for a long time. A famous quotation by the pre-Socratic Greek philosopher Thales (Miletus, 624 – 546 BC) highlights the connection between mind and body.
When our body is in pain we cannot have peace in our mind. Physical pain makes it hard to be happy and relaxed. On the flip side, mental and emotional pain can create physical pain in the body. This is why I incorporate both relaxation style work and deep tissue techniques. My goal is to bring peace to both the mind and body.

I am an alumni of formerly known as Indiana College of Sports and Medical Massage. That’s a mouthful, I’m glad they were able to shorten their name. I remember that being something they wanted to do. For me though, that lengthy name was why I chose them. I wanted an education that would prepare me for all kinds of client needs. Their curriculum is well rounded and very advanced. I’m very grateful for wonderful teachers that I had!

So happy to have this space for people. It has been so fun putting it all together. As a massage therapist the physical work I do is not the only beneficial thing for clients, it’s also the tranquil environment that allows the mind the relaxation and let go of the outside world.
