Lately I’ve noticed a tingling sensation along my mid-back/spine. No pain, no radiating symptoms, just a little nudge from my body to slow down and pay attention.

It shows up more after long walks or sitting for extended periods, especially in colder weather when we naturally tense up 🥶 It’s a gentle reminder that even healthy habits can create tension if posture, movement, or temperature stress our muscles and nerves.

What’s been helping me:
• Backing off long walks in freezing temps ❄️
• Focusing on posture (soft shoulders, rib breathing)
• Gentle mobility and Pilates-style exercises
• Massage to release tension along the spine and ribs

Here’s a quick 5-minute reset you can try at home:

✨5-Min Mid-Back & Rib Reset✨
1️⃣ Rib Breathing (1 min) – Place hands around ribs, inhale expanding, exhale relaxing shoulders
2️⃣ Cat–Cow (1 min) – On hands & knees, arch and round spine slowly
3️⃣ Spine Stretch Forward (1 min) – Sit tall, inhale to lengthen, exhale fold forward
4️⃣ Open Book (1 min) – Lie on your side, open top arm back to rotate chest and ribs, switch sides halfway
5️⃣ Standing Posture Reset (1 min) – Roll shoulders up, back, down; lightly engage core; breathe into ribs

Your body isn’t failing you, it’s communicating. Massage and mindful movement are ways to listen, restore, and support yourself daily. 💛

If you’ve felt tension along your mid-back or ribs, I’d love to hear what helps you reset! 💬

💌 A Little Update About Valentine’s Day

I wanted to let you know that this year, I won’t be offering a Valentine’s Day special. Based on past years, it hasn’t worked out as well for me, and I want to make sure I’m giving you the best experience possible.

But don’t worry, at the end of this month, I’ll be sending out a newsletter with all the specials and updates for next month! If you’d like to stay in the loop before it hits Facebook, feel free to message me your email address and I’ll make sure you get the news first 👀

Thank you so much for your understanding and support. I can’t wait to share some exciting things with you soon! ♥️

My blunt opinions about running a small business (in no particular order) that no one really asked for, but I’ll tell you anyway.

1) If you don’t have a strong work ethic, your business will likely fail. Talent, branding, or good intentions won’t save a lack of consistency and follow-through.

2) If you’re truly doing your best, in your personal life and your work, it will show. Patterns like chronic lateness, frequent rescheduling without a real reason, poor communication, or constant excuses aren’t “life happening”.. they’re signs of low standards or misalignment. That’s inward work, not a business problem.

3) If you don’t treat your business like a real business, especially when it’s inconvenient or uncomfortable, it won’t survive. In many seasons, this requires as much or more effort than a 9–5. The flexibility people chase comes later, not first.

4) Without proper licensing, insurance, and professionalism, people won’t take you seriously. Your business will be treated like a hobby and often paid like one. Legitimacy protects you and builds trust with clients.

5) You don’t get the entrepreneur life without taking full responsibility. No boss means no one to blame. Freedom only works when accountability is high.

6) High revenue and full books don’t happen by accident or shortcuts. They come from consistently showing up and delivering. I leave every session knowing I gave my client everything I could as long as they communicate their needs. I work in the business and on the business, and it shows but it takes time.

This doesn’t mean working hard all of the time forever. Burnout isn’t the goal. But consistent, intentional effort is non-negotiable if you want something sustainable.

No quick money.
No life hacks.
Just work.

If this feels harsh, ask yourself why. What standard are you holding your business to?

✨ New Year, New Introduction ✨

Since graduating high school, health and wellness have been my focus. I took some time to figure out my path and decided massage therapy was my calling.

It wasn’t easy: stress, hard work, and learning to trust the journey, but with faith and perseverance, I made it. Ignoring outside opinions and fully trusting God has led me to where I am today.

I’ve worked in different areas of massage therapy, but I always come back to my own business. Doing things my way, for my clients, is what I love most.

Life keeps changing, and I keep finding new ways to balance it all. Every challenge has taught me something valuable.

✨ A Peek Into Some of My Favorite Things 🫶

• Cozy mornings with coffee ☕🙏
• Seeing my little ones’ smiles every day 💛
• Helping clients feel relaxed and cared for 🌿
• Learning new massage techniques and growing my skills 💆‍♀️
• Quiet moments to recharge and reflect 🕊📚
• Cooking something simple and delicious for my family 🍳
• Celebrating small wins in business and life 🎉
• A lotus energy drink 🥤
• Shopping local 🛍️
• Homeschooling pre-K with my oldest 📚
• Checking things off my to-do list ✅
• Maintaining a clean home 🧹
• Moving my body with walks and lifting weights 💪🚶‍♀️‍➡️

Life is busy, but I love finding joy in the little things, both at home and at work ♥️

Hi friends! 💆‍♀️✨
I’ve had several new inquiries lately (welcome!), so I wanted to share a few helpful notes to make communication easy and smooth for everyone.

• Rates & availability:
My current rates and most availability can be found on my website. You are not required to book online, you’re always welcome to text me directly to schedule if you prefer. The website is simply a helpful reference.

• Messages & response time:
I’m a one-woman show and often in session, so responses may come during business hours or shortly after (I’m human and still learning balance 😄). Automated replies are there to help answer common questions while you wait to hear back from me personally.

• Phone calls:
If you call, please leave a voicemail with your name and reason for calling so I can return your call. If no voicemail is left, or if multiple calls are placed within a short time, I may be unable to return the call because I’m likely working or it’s after hours.

I’m also a mom to three little ones under the age of 3.5 and massage is my other full-time career. These systems help me stay present with my family while continuing to care well for my clients.

👉 Ready to book or have questions?
Text me at 618-384-0543 and check out my website for current rates and availability.

I look forward to connecting with you! 🤍
