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.
