Got migraines? Headaches? TMJ?
We’ve got you.

At Astute Counseling + Wellness Services, we’re introducing a specialized Migraine & Headache Relief Massage designed to target the areas most people don’t even realize are contributing to their pain.

We’re talking about:

• Jaw tension and TMJ
• Suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull
• Deep neck stabilizers
• Scalp and temporal muscles
• Upper traps and shoulders
• Even intra-oral tension patterns connected to chronic headaches

This is not your typical relaxation massage.
This is intentional, therapeutic, and deeply targeted work.

And here’s what makes it even more powerful — Deanna became passionate about migraine-focused massage after struggling with migraines herself. She understands the nausea. The light sensitivity. The brain fog. The “I can’t function like this” feeling. And she experienced firsthand how targeted bodywork can change everything.

This treatment is about reducing frequency, shortening duration, and helping your nervous system regulate so your body isn’t constantly living in fight-or-flight.

Listen to Deanna talk about how she approaches migraines through massage therapy — and why this work is truly life-changing.

If you’re tired of pushing through pain, this might be your next step.

Your head (and nervous system) will thank you.

Benefits of Palo Santo (Holy Wood) 🌿✨

Palo Santo, meaning “holy wood,” has been used for centuries in Indigenous South American traditions for its grounding, cleansing, and healing properties. When burned or used as an oil, it offers benefits that span emotional, mental, and energetic well-being.

🌬️ Emotional & Mental Benefits
   •   Helps reduce stress, anxiety, and mental overwhelm
   •   Promotes a sense of calm, clarity, and emotional balance
   •   Supports grounding during moments of tension or dysregulation

🧘 Nervous System Support
   •   The warm, slightly sweet aroma can help soothe the nervous system
   •   Often used before meditation, yoga, or breathwork to encourage relaxation and presence

✨ Energetic Cleansing
   •   Traditionally used to clear stagnant or negative energy from a space
   •   Creates a feeling of lightness, intention, and renewal
   •   Common in rituals, transitions, or setting boundaries (energetically and emotionally)

🌿 Physical & Aromatherapeutic Benefits
   •   Contains natural compounds (like limonene) associated with anti-inflammatory and uplifting effects
   •   May help ease headaches or tension when inhaled mindfully
   •   Used in essential oil form for gentle immune and mood support

🌙 Spiritual & Ritual Use
   •   Enhances mindfulness and intention-setting practices
   •   Often paired with journaling, sound baths, meditation, or restorative yoga
   •   Invites a sense of connection, reflection, and calm awareness

✨ Palo Santo isn’t about “clearing everything away” — it’s about creating space for what you want to invite in: calm, clarity, grounding, and intention.

Your body holds your stress, your stories, and your survival patterns.

Massage and bodywork help release what talking alone sometimes can’t.

At Astute Counseling + Wellness Services, our work is rooted in the mind–body connection. When muscles soften, breathing deepens. When the nervous system slows, healing becomes possible. When the body feels safe, emotions can finally move.

✨ Benefits of massage & bodywork:
• decreases stress hormones
• improves sleep
• reduces chronic pain & tension
• supports trauma recovery
• increases circulation & energy
• reconnects you with your body

This isn’t just relaxation — it’s therapeutic regulation.

We offer customized services from deeply restorative relaxation to specialized techniques including trauma-informed work, TMJ Relief, Buccal, integrative bodywork, and the raindrop method.

Honored to be featured on with for

In this conversation, I share my journey from surviving a life-altering accident to building Astute Counseling & Wellness Services — a space designed to transform how we think about mental health care by integrating therapy, movement, and holistic healing under one roof.

We talked about resilience, rebuilding, entrepreneurship, and why the future of mental health must include the mind–body connection.

Grateful for the opportunity to represent our clients, our clinicians, and this incredible community.
