You would not train for a marathon without paying attention to your body. You build your cardio, strengthen your muscles, eat well, and stay hydrated. Bodywork is no different. How you prepare for and move through a session can make a big difference in how supportive and transformative it feels.

Hydrate with intention.
Hydration helps your muscles soften and your body relax. This is not about chugging water the day of your appointment. Try to hydrate well starting at least 24 hours beforehand so your body is truly supported.

Give yourself time afterward.
If you can, leave at least an hour after your session with nothing scheduled. This gentle space allows your body and nervous system to integrate what just happened and helps you ease back into your day.

Communicate openly.
Please share any injuries, concerns, sensitivities, or preferences before and during your session. My goal is always for you to leave feeling better than when you arrived, and clear communication helps me support you in the best way possible.

Unplug when you can.
Life is busy, I know. Try not to stack stressful obligations on the same day as your bodywork. Turn your phone off if possible and give yourself permission to simply be.

If you have questions or would like to schedule a session, I would love to hear from you. You can call or text me at 641.691.7644 and we will find what feels right for your body.

As always, remember to breathe.
Breathe deeply.
Breathe often.

Deep tissue massage is one of the most requested—and most misunderstood—types of bodywork I see.

Deep tissue work focuses on the deeper layers of muscle and connective tissue (fascia). It’s typically slow, intentional, and uses firm pressure with long, thoughtful strokes to help increase blood flow, release long‑held tension, and support healing in the body. It’s often used for chronic pain, repetitive strain, sports injuries, or areas that just don’t seem to let go.

But here’s something important I always want my clients to understand:
Deeper does not mean harder.

A truly effective deep tissue massage is not about gritting your teeth or holding your breath while someone pushes as hard as they can. It’s about listening—both to the tissue and to you. Pressure should always be adjustable, responsive, and guided by communication before and during the session. When your body feels safe, it’s far more willing to release.

If you’ve ever walked away from a “deep tissue” massage feeling bruised, overwhelmed, or worse than when you arrived, please know: that doesn’t mean deep tissue isn’t for you. It often just means it wasn’t approached with the care, skill, or pacing your body needed.

My intention with deep tissue work is simple—to meet your body where it is, work layer by layer, and support real, lasting change rather than forcing anything to happen. Every body is different, and your massage should reflect that.

If you’re someone who needs deeper work but wants a better experience—one that feels effective, respectful, and supportive—I would love to work with you. You deserve care that listens to your body, not battles it.

Reach out, ask questions, or book a session and let’s create a deep tissue experience that actually helps you feel better.

Always remember to breathe.
Breathe deeply.
Breathe often.

Spring is finally here. The days are getting longer, the air feels lighter, and nature is waking back up. Along with the beauty of the season comes a gentle reminder I feel called to share—ticks are waking up too.

Tick bites can sometimes lead to Lyme disease, and if you or someone you love has experienced it, you know how complex and exhausting it can be. Symptoms like headaches, fatigue, fever, or joint pain can linger. For some people Lyme affects the nervous system, mobility, and overall quality of life. Healing doesn’t always follow a straight line, and it often takes more than one approach.

This is where supportive, gentle care can be so helpful. I often recommend CranioSacral Therapy (CST) as part of a larger healing plan for those navigating Lyme. CST is a very light‑touch therapy that supports the nervous system and encourages the body to settle, soften, and find balance again. It can be especially beneficial for people who feel sensitive, overwhelmed, or stuck in chronic pain.

When combined with other supportive therapies—like lymphatic work, massage, or positional release—the intention is simple: to help your body feel safer, calmer, and better supported as it heals. Everyone’s journey with Lyme is unique, and care should always honor where you are in that process.

As always, please consult with your healthcare provider when treating any condition. And if you’re curious about whether CranioSacral Therapy could be a supportive piece of your healing journey, I would love to connect and talk more about your individual needs.

Always remember to breathe.
Breathe deeply.
Breathe often.

It’s time to bring someone into the spotlight and introduce you to someone very special.

It’s no secret social media is not where I would prefer to spend my time. My passion is working one on one with people who are interested in healing, but I also have a strong desire to stay connected and educate. Finding the time for all of it has been harrowing. Luckily, I found the perfect person to add to the team, my friend and social media specialist, Jessica Jamison.

I have known Jess outside of work for a few years, but in 2025 she decided to take a leap of faith. Following her heart, she got brave and opened her own virtual assistant business, VA Services. Jess specializes in social media posting and engagement, email and calendar management, data entry, and CRM management.

You may have noticed a shift in style and certainly more consistent postings for Breathe starting in January this year, all Jess. She has been so amazing to work with: very organized and detail oriented, excellent research skills, and creative ideas. All I have to do is throw an idea at her and she fleshes it out, designs it, and sends it to me to proof. She sets up all the posting and keeps me organized. This has been such a time relief and stress reduction in my busy life, and she is such a sweet woman to work with.

I highly recommend Jess if you too are looking for someone dependable to give you back your time without missing out on important social media connection. Her Linktree is included here for your convenience.

❤️Do yourself a favor and hire Jess before she gets too busy!!❤️

As the weather warms and the days get longer, pollen is in the air. While this is a beautiful sign of a new season, it's not so great for those who suffer from seasonal allergies. How you treat your seasonal allergies is up to you, but I'd like to give you another option that is traditional and unexpected.

Essential oils have been used as far back as 3000 BC in Ancient Egyptian society. They were used for things such as beauty care, spiritual rituals, and medicinal treatments. Evidence has been found that India and China also used essential oils around the same time for medicinal purposes. As time went on, Ancient Greece used essential oils in massage and inhalation therapies. The Romans of course adopted these practices and incorporated them into their bathhouse culture for rejuvenation and relaxation.

Fast forward to today; these same practices are still used! You can treat your allergies with essential oils. The best oils for treatment are lemon, lavender, and peppermint. They work together to reduce inflammation, calm allergic reactions, and boost your immune system. These oils can be applied to the bottoms of your feet, diffused, or taken internally. Please take note that therapeutic grade essential oils are the only essential oils that can be taken internally - do not ingest just any essential oil off the shelf. Talk with a professional (someone like me :)) if you need help with this.

Remember, breathe deep. Breathe often.

Meditation - what does it mean and look like for you?

Hot stones are a great addition to your massage or craniosacral session. Now before you hold your breath as you process that - I'm not talking about stones straight from a hot flame. These smooth stones are warmed enough for handling AND to be placed and glided over the body. The next thing you might be wondering is, "Why on earth would someone want this?"

The use of hot stones aids in boosting immune function by stimulating the lymphatic system; improved lymph flow promotes the removal of toxins and fights off illness. Let's be honest - this winter has been rough for illness!

Just like a heating pad, hot stones relieve muscle pain and tension. The heat helps tight muscles to relax and increase blood flow, promoting a reduction in pain and even muscle spasms.

The gentle heat also dilates blood vessels, promoting circulation throughout the body. Your body will thank you for the delivery of more oxygen and nutrients that help in reducing fatigue and enhance healing.

When muscles are tight and joints are stiff, we aren't moving well. Regular hot stone use helps in improving flexibility and range of motion.

Suffering from insomnia? Hot stones can help sleep quality improve with the production of serotonin, which is needed to regulate sleep.

Considering this add on for your next session? I'd love to discuss it further or add it to your session.

Above all else, remember to breathe. Breathe deeply and breathe often.
