🌿 Small Business Saturday Gratitude 🌿
From my little home studio to every one of you who walks through my door… thank you. 💛

Today is Small Business Saturday, and as a one-woman show, I feel this day in my bones. Heather’s Balancing Touch exists because you choose to support me — with your messages, your trust, your stories, and your presence on my table. When you’re sore, overwhelmed, out of alignment, or simply needing a place to breathe… you reach out. And being the person you call in those moments is one of the greatest honors of my life.

This is year nine of doing what I love, and I truly wouldn’t be here without all of you.
You’ve allowed me to walk beside you through pregnancies, new babies, sports injuries, stress, grief, celebrations, childhood milestones… all the way to the tender sacred work of hospice care. I’ve seen you through the best days and the hardest days — and you’ve walked beside me in mine. That’s a privilege I don’t take lightly.

Every time you book a session, you’re not just investing in your wellness — you’re helping me support my family, my dreams, and the life I’ve built inside this cozy little studio. I don’t look at my monthly clients as “appointments.” I look at you like family. You share your lives with me — your kids, your wins, your worries, your hopes — and that time we spend together becomes a place where you get to let go, breathe, and simply be.

They say in massage school to keep a fine line between therapist and client…
But that line belongs to spas and corporations — not here.
Not in a small, heart-led healing space like mine.
Not in the work I’ve built with intention, connection, and genuine care.

Here, we know each other’s stories.
Here, we laugh, cry, heal, and grow.
Here, we hold space for each other — even when we’re miles apart.
You ask about my kids, my trips, my life… and you celebrate my accomplishments right alongside me. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

So today, on Small Business Saturday, I just want to say:
Thank you. Truly. Deeply. Wholeheartedly.
Thank you for choosing a small business.
Thank you for choosing me.
Thank you for allowing me to be part of your healing journey and for being such an important part of mine.

💆‍♀️🦋 From my heart to yours — thank you for keeping this little dream of mine alive. Here’s to many more years of healing, connection, and care.

❄️ Winter in Wisconsin Massage Update ❄️
Because… let’s be honest… we all live in Narnia for 3–6 months out of the year. 😂

One of the perks of my little home studio is that my “commute” to work is literally five feet out my front door. So me getting to your appointment is never the issue — I just shuffle next-door in my slippers like the cozy little massage goblin I am. 🧣💆‍♀️

But YOU getting to me (and home!) safely is what matters most.
If the roads are bad, if visibility is low, if you’re white-knuckle gripping the steering wheel like you’re in a Fast & Furious snow drift edition…
👉 We will absolutely reschedule.
No guilt. No frustration. No fear of losing your spot.

A massage is supposed to relax you…
Not send your nervous system into survival mode on the drive home. 😅

And in full transparency — as I get older, I’ve accepted that I do not drive in winter weather unless absolutely necessary. I don’t enjoy it, and I never expect you to push through unsafe conditions to make an appointment.

We’re expected to get some messy weather tomorrow, so I’m giving this reminder now and keeping it in place for the entire winter season:

✨ If the roads are questionable, icy, stormy, or you simply don’t feel safe driving — message me. We will reschedule your massage.
✨ Your safety matters just as much as your self-care.
✨ Be mindful of yourself AND others on the road.

Massage is important…
But you getting home safely is more important.

Stay warm, stay safe, and take care of those winter bodies. Wisconsin roads are unpredictable — but your comfort in my studio never is. 🤍🩵❄️

🦃✨ Happy Thanksgiving, Everyone! ✨🦃

I hope today finds you with a heart that feels a little lighter and a kitchen that isn’t completely covered in flour, butter, and burnt hopes. 😂
May your turkey be stuffed, your cranberry sauce be chef’s kiss, your rolls not burned (but if they are, you’re still doing amazing), and may nobody cut a finger during the great carving ceremony of 2025.
(If this is just my family tradition… please don’t tell me that. Let me live. 😅)

Today, for me, is a day of slowing down — a rare moment to breathe, let my kids head off to visit their other relatives, sip something warm, and just enjoy a quiet house before the holiday whirlwind really ramps up.

This season reminds me that while the world feels extra “holly and jolly,” not everyone feels that way inside.
So please remember:

💛 You are never alone.
💛 You are allowed to feel whatever you’re feeling.
💛 You are always welcome to reach out — even on the holidays.

Whether your day is loud and full of laughter or soft and a little tender, I’m sending you all warmth, comfort, and the reminder that you matter.

And because it is officially that time of year…

🌲✨ Holiday Season Reminder + Black Friday Massage Specials ✨🌲
As we step into the next few days of holiday chaos — the rushing, the prepping, the memories of what once was and the anticipation of what’s yet to come — I just want to gently remind you of this:

You are allowed to slow down.
You are allowed to honor your body, your mind, and your spirit.
You do not have to attend every family gathering.
You do not have to say yes to every invitation.
Sometimes the most sacred holiday moment is simply sitting at home with takeout, resting in your own energy. 💛

The holidays can be joyful, but they can also be heavy. If this season feels tender, confusing, overwhelming, or lonely — you are never alone.
And if you’re truly struggling or even just hungry, please reach out. There is always room at my table, and I will always gladly share a meal, a plate, or an entire dinner with someone in need. No questions. No judgment. Just humanity. ✨

Now… as the hustle and bustle of Black Friday approaches (and yes, I’ll be working alllll day on Friday 😂), I want to offer something special to help you — and the people you love — slow down, breathe, and receive some healing touch this season.

🎁 BLACK FRIDAY MASSAGE SPECIALS 🎁
Valid now through Monday — and yes, gift certificates are available for pickup!

✨ BOGO – Buy One, Get One 1/2 Off
Unlimited. Any denomination. Mix & match however you want.
(Example: two 2-hour sessions, two 90-min, two 60-min — anything!)

✨ Buy 3, Get 1 FREE
Again — any combination, any length of session.
Buy three hours, get one free.
Buy three 90-minutes, get one free.
Buy three 2-hour appointments, get one free.
Totally customizable.

This is my biggest special of the year, and it’s truly meant to help you care for yourself, spoil someone you love, or give the gift of healing during a season that can feel like a whirlwind.

If you need me, I’m here.
If you want a gift card held for you, just send me a message.
If this holiday season feels tough, please know you’re supported.
And if your body is craving rest… I’ve got you. 💆‍♀️🦋

Wishing everyone warmth, comfort, and moments of peace in the middle of the holiday magic.

🌊✨ Sound Bowl Sessions for Kiddos ✨🌊

If your little one has been feeling overstimulated, anxious, wiggly, emotional, or having trouble sleeping, sound therapy might be exactly what their nervous system is craving. 💛

In my studio, I use quartz crystal bowls, Tibetan bowls, chimes, and soft drum rhythms to create the most soothing experience — like being wrapped in warm ocean sound waves. The vibration moves through the body in a way that helps the brain settle, the breath slow down, and the whole system feel safe again.

Kids respond beautifully to sound because it doesn’t ask them to sit still, talk about their feelings, or “try harder.”
✨ The sound does the work for them. ✨

🌈 Sound Bowl Therapy Can Help Kids:
• Reduce anxiety + overwhelm
• Regulate emotions + mood
• Support sensory needs
• Improve sleep
• Increase focus + ease transitions
• Calm the whole nervous system
• Feel grounded and safe

I’ve watched even the busiest, most overstimulated kiddos drop into a peaceful state within minutes. Their breath softens, their shoulders relax, and you can literally see their bodies say, “Thank you. I needed that.”

If your child has been struggling with big feelings, sensory overload, tough transitions, or just needs a relaxing reset… sound therapy is such a gentle, powerful option. 🥣✨

Want to schedule a session or chat about whether it might be a good fit for your kiddo?
Send me a message anytime. 💛🦋

The Fascia Speaks

As bodyworkers, we touch a system far more intelligent and responsive than most people realize. It is a living memory field, a sensory fabric that holds the echoes of every emotional contraction, every bracing pattern, and every unspoken moment the nervous system didn’t know how to resolve.

We explore these imprints every day. We feel the places where the tissue thickened in response to a moment of fear, the areas where breath stopped during heartbreak, or the subtle density of someone carrying a responsibility too heavy for their age. These are not just restrictions. They are records.

Science is beginning to describe what practitioners have long sensed with their hands. Fascia is densely woven with interoceptors, proprioceptors, mechanoreceptors, and nociceptors, creating one of the most information-rich sensory networks in the body. These receptors do not just relay physical sensations; they respond to emotional states, autonomic shifts, and subtle changes in internal chemistry. When someone is afraid, lonely, overworked, grieving, or carrying unresolved tension, fascia receives that information before the conscious mind can interpret it.

Over time, these repeated emotional signals alter the collagen matrix itself. The ground substance thickens. Elasticity decreases. Glide diminishes. The tissue becomes a physical representation of an emotional history. What began as a moment of bracing becomes a pattern. Eventually, the pattern becomes posture, and posture becomes identity. This is how fascia stores emotional imprints that influence how a person walks, rests, reacts, and protects themselves. What clients feel as stiffness is often the residue of old vigilance. What they call tightness is often the body’s attempt to hold a story that never had a chance to be expressed.

When we work with fascia, we are not simply lengthening tissue or improving mobility. We are entering the emotional architecture of a person’s life. Gentle compression rehydrates the ground substance and makes the dense places permeable again. Slow stretching reorganizes collagen fibers that have been shaped by years of guarding. Pacinian and Ruffini receptors detect the warmth of our touch and signal safety along the vagus nerve. Interoceptors begin to update the brain’s perception of the body, allowing long-muted emotional signals to come into conscious awareness. As the layers soften, the nervous system begins to trust, and trust is the first doorway to release.

This is why clients often experience tears, trembling, laughter, heat, or a sudden memory during a session. The fascia is not only releasing; it is reorganizing the information it once held tightly. Electrical coherence returns. Circulation improves. Sensory accuracy sharpens. The body stops running old protective commands and starts rewriting its operating system. What once felt like a lifelong pattern begins to dissolve in the warmth of contact and presence.

Fascia is a sensory intelligence that interprets experience. The mind does not lead this process. It follows it. The mind interprets what the fascia feels and explains it long after the body has already changed. When we help clients reconnect to their fascial landscape, we are guiding them back to the body’s original language, the language beneath thought, beneath story, beneath habit—the language of emotional truth.

We, the ones who listen in silence, can hear what the fascia has carried through lineage, memory, and time.

✨ Last Night on the Island ✨

Tonight is my last night in Puerto Rico, and it’s been such a gift. A full week of slowing down, soaking up the sunshine, and making memories with my son — exactly what I needed. 💛
But I’m also ready to settle back into my normal routine and open my massage room again.

Thank you to everyone who has messaged me while I’ve been away — I appreciate your patience more than you know. As of right now, I have one appointment left for the rest of November:

📅 Saturday, Nov 29 – 7:00 AM
(Available as a 60-minute or 90-minute session)

And for anyone who’s been liking the Puerto Rico updates…
We have two upcoming retreats here:

🌿 Couples Retreat – 1 room left
🌺 Women’s Retreat – 2 rooms left

If you’re interested in island time, local food, quiet mornings, and a full reset, I’m happy to send the details your way.

I’ll be posting an updated December calendar after I get back into the same time zone as you.

✨ ANNOUNCEMENT TIME! ✨
With the highest honor and the greatest privilege, I can officially say… I am now a Board Member of the Touch for Health Kinesiology Association! 💛🦋

For those who don’t know, Touch for Health (TFH) is a complementary health practice that uses manual muscle testing to identify and correct energy imbalances in the body. It weaves together ancient Chinese energy principles with modern kinesiology techniques like acupressure and meridian tracing—supporting the body’s natural ability to heal, shift, and find balance.

It doesn’t diagnose or treat disease, but it does reduce stress, ease tension, support emotional well-being, and help people feel more present, empowered, and alive in their bodies. TFH has been a huge part of my own journey, and now I get to help shape its future.

Last night I was officially nominated and welcomed onto the board. And in true “Heather-life” fashion… I attended via Zoom, on my phone, from Puerto Rico, with almost no Wi-Fi. 😅
I could hear everyone, I could see everyone… I just couldn’t talk back! But I made it, and I am SO honored.

This is a three-year term, and I’m unbelievably excited to see where this next chapter leads—both for my career and for all the people I get to help through TFH.

Here’s to growth, learning, and being exactly where we’re meant to be. 🦋✨
