✨ UPLIFT + ENERGY BOOST ✨

If you’re feeling sluggish, foggy, or just need a mood lift.. these oils are some of my go-to’s:

🍋 Lemon – Fresh, clean, and energizing. Great for mood + mental clarity
🍊 Sweet Orange – Uplifting and calming at the same time (a client favorite!)
🌿 Pink Grapefruit – Bright, refreshing, and helps boost motivation

Perfect for:
✔ Morning appointments
✔ Midday pick-me-ups
✔ Anyone feeling “blah” or low energy

These can be added to your session to help you leave feeling refreshed and recharged 💛

📅 How to Book an Appointment 📅

There are 2 easy ways to schedule with me:
✨ Text me directly at 618-384-0543
OR
✨ Book online anytime through MassageBook

If you don’t see a time that works for you online, feel free to message me to double check availability. Sometimes I may have flexibility or last-minute openings that aren’t shown yet.

I do my best to respond quickly to appointment messages during the day, but I’m also intentional about being present with my family in the evenings and at home 🤍 That’s usually when booking online can be the easiest and fastest option.

Either way you choose, I’ve got you and I’ll help get you scheduled 💆‍♀️✨

Thank you so much for supporting my small business 🫶

If you’ve been on my massage table, first of all, thank you for trusting me with your care. It truly means more than I can put into words.

One of the biggest ways you can support my small business is by leaving a review. Your feedback doesn’t just make my day (although it absolutely does 🥹), it also helps other people feel confident about booking and experiencing the same care you did.

If you’ve had a massage with me, you’re welcome to leave a review:
✨ Right here on Facebook
✨ Or directly in MassageBook after your appointment

Even a few words about your experience:?how you felt before vs. after, what you liked most, or how it helped you can make a huge difference.

I read every single review and I’m always so grateful for each one. Your support allows me to continue doing what I love and serving this community.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my small business in such a meaningful way 🤍

Since I already use heated stones throughout your May massage special to soften and relax the muscles, I can seamlessly flow right into gentle cupping therapy to lift, decompress, and melt stubborn tension from the tissues.

The goal: a full-body “meltdown” effect- tight, heavy muscles soften and release so you leave feeling lighter and deeply relaxed ✨

If you’ve been curious about cupping, this is a great way to experience it alongside your massage for May.

FAQ: Why do I need to schedule a time to pick up a gift certificate?

This is a great question and one I completely understand!

As a small, solo business, I wear many hats throughout the day: owner, massage therapist, customer service, front desk, bookkeeper, marketer… and everything in between.

Because of this, when a client is on the table, I keep the door locked and always have. This helps ensure a quiet, relaxing, and uninterrupted experience for the person receiving their massage. I will not disrupt an appointment to answer the door.

In between appointments, the door also remains locked until I know you've arrived, as I may be:
• Sanitizing and resetting the room
• Returning messages
• Working on scheduling
• Taking a short break between clients

Scheduling a quick pickup time helps me:
✨ Be available for you
✨ Keep appointments running smoothly
✨ Maintain a calm environment for clients

I truly appreciate your understanding and support of my small business. Scheduling a pickup is quick and easy, and I'm always happy to coordinate a time that works for you! 💛

If you're interested in purchasing gift certificate(s), please message me and we will set up a time to drop by.

✨ Massage Series Available ✨

Ever wish you could stay consistent with your self-care AND save money? My MassageBook Series make that easy!

What is a Series?
A Series is when multiple of the same service are combined into one menu item. It’s designed as an incentive to pre-pay for multiple sessions up front while saving on each visit.

Here’s How It Works:
• Pre-pay for 5 × 60-minute sessions and save 10%
• Pre-pay for 5 × 90-minute sessions and save 20%

MassageBook will track your sessions for you, so you’ll always know how many pre-paid visits you have left.

Series Options Available:
✨ Relax & Recharge Series: 5 Relaxation Massages
Perfect for stress relief, nervous system reset, and consistent self-care

✨ Deep Relief Series: 5 Deep Tissue Massages
Ideal for chronic tension, pain relief, and muscle recovery

✨ Mom-to-Be Wellness Series: 5 Prenatal Massages
Support, comfort, and relaxation throughout pregnancy

Who Are Series Great For?
• Clients who want consistent self-care
• Those managing chronic pain or tension
• Athletes or active lifestyles
• Expecting moms
• Anyone wanting to save while prioritizing wellness

💡 Quick note: I’ve found it’s easiest to get Series set up in person rather than online.

💳 Series can be purchased with cash, check, Venmo, or debit/credit card.

Commit to your wellness, save money, and feel better consistently 💆‍♀️

You may benefit from a customized massage if you:
• Work at a computer
• Use your hands frequently
• Text often
• Lift children
• Experience wrist tightness
• Notice tingling or numbness

Massage sessions can be adjusted to spend extra time on areas contributing to hand and wrist discomfort.

Every massage is personalized based on what you’re experiencing that day, whether that’s stress relief, muscle tension, or hand and wrist discomfort.

Make time for yourself on the massage table.

Did you know tension in your forearms and shoulders can contribute to hand and wrist discomfort?

Many people assume wrist pain only comes from the wrist itself, but the muscles in your forearms, shoulders, and upper back all play a role.

This is why massage sessions can be tailored to:
✔️ Forearm tension
✔️ Wrist mobility
✔️ Shoulder tightness
✔️ Upper back stress

If you're struggling with carpal tunnel symptoms: numbness, tingling, weakness, or pain in your hands and wrists, massage therapy can absolutely help… but it's often even more effective when paired with physical therapy. 🤝

Physical therapists can help:
• Strengthen the muscles supporting your wrists and hands
• Improve mobility and flexibility
• Address posture and movement patterns that contribute to symptoms
• Teach exercises you can do at home for long-term relief

Together, they can be a powerful combination for lasting results. ✨

If you're dealing with carpal tunnel syndrome, don't feel like you have to choose one or the other. A team approach often leads to the best outcomes. 💛

Your hands do a lot for you every day, they deserve the support.

Addressing the bigger picture often leads to better overall relief and improved comfort.

Everything in the body is connected, especially when it comes to repetitive use and daily stress.

I recently completed a 1-hour continuing education class on Carpal Tunnel Syndrome to better support clients experiencing hand, wrist, and forearm discomfort.

One of the things I appreciate most about massage therapy is that every session can be tailored to your specific needs.

If you’re experiencing:
• Tingling in fingers
• Numbness in hands
• Wrist discomfort
• Forearm tightness
• Weak grip strength

Your massage session can be adjusted to focus on areas that may be contributing to your symptoms: including forearms, wrists, shoulders, and upper back.

No special service needed, just personalized care based on what your body needs that day.

I will share more information about carpal tunnel symptoms and how massage may help this week.

Your hands do a lot for you and they deserve care too 🤲

Getting into that time of year where my books start filling up well in advance and we’re already seeing it happen!

I’ve had a few people message asking about same-day appointments, and unfortunately, those are rare for me this time of year. If I do have an opening, I always try to post it, but they tend to go quickly.

I also have some fun things planned for May 👀

✨ Massage Special: Only ONE this year (last year I offered three!)
🎁 Two Gift Certificate Specials

Just throwing that out there so you can plan ahead 😉

A Few Helpful Reminders:

✔️ Book in advance when possible
✔️ Only book if you’re certain you can make it
✔️ Plan around upcoming events (especially graduations)

We are quickly approaching graduation season 🎓 and last year I had quite a few appointments that needed to be rescheduled due to ceremonies and parties. While cancellations were made in advance (which I always appreciate!), it can still make scheduling tricky when my calendar is already full.

May Schedule Updates:
• I will be closed Saturday, May 9th (the day before Mother’s Day)
• I will be open every Saturday after that
• I will also be open Memorial Day, May 25th from 7:30 am – 11:30 am for appointments

Whether you’re preparing for graduation events, travel, or just need some time to relax and reset, I’d love to get you on the schedule.

💬 Help me plan ahead:
If you know of local graduation dates, please drop them in the comments! This helps me make notes when booking and better anticipate scheduling needs.

Thank you all so much for keeping me busy. I appreciate it more than you know! 💛
