Last night was pure magic ✨
I went to a Candlelight: Christmas Carols on Strings concert brought by .concerts , and it was absolutely beautiful.
A string quartet, surrounded by candlelight, playing familiar Christmas melodies in the most calming, soul-soothing way. It felt intimate, peaceful, and grounding… like being wrapped in a cozy blanket during the coldest time of year.
If you ever get the chance to experience one of these candlelight concerts, go. It’s not loud. It’s not rushed. It’s just music, warmth, and presence. Exactly what my nervous system needed. 🕯️🎻🎄

After 14 years in business, I finally have an official Nourishing Massage sign.
This handmade sign was gifted to me by a client, and the moment I opened it, I felt it in my chest. I knew exactly where it belonged. There has been an empty space on this wall for years, and without even realizing it, I think I was waiting for this.
What makes this sign so meaningful isn’t just the wood or the lettering. It’s what it represents. Fourteen years of showing up. Of listening. Of learning bodies, stories, fears, and hopes. Of building trust, one session at a time.
This business exists because of my clients. Truly. I wouldn’t have the work I love, the space I’ve created, or the ability to do what I do every day without the people who have chosen to walk through my door and allow me to be part of their healing journey. That kind of trust is something I never take lightly.
Being gifted something so thoughtful and personal is a reminder that this work goes far beyond massage. It’s connection. It’s care. It’s community. It’s love.
To every client who has supported me, believed in me, referred a friend, shown up consistently, or simply trusted me with their body and their story… thank you. From the bottom of my heart. This sign belongs to all of us. ❤️

🎁 A Gentle Reminder This Holiday Season 🎄
If you’re struggling to find the “right” gift, maybe it doesn’t need to be something flashy or complicated. Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are the ones that offer rest, relief, and care.
A Nourishing Massage gift card is a simple way to say I see you. Whether someone is stressed, tired, carrying a lot, or just overdue for a little time to themselves.
💆♀️ Perfect for:
• The mom who’s always taking care of everyone else
• The friend or coworker who never slows down
• Anyone who deserves a moment to breathe and be cared for
✨ Why a Nourishing Massage gift card?
Every massage I offer is intentional and personalized. I take time to listen, to adjust, and to support what each body truly needs that day. My goal is always to create a calm, nurturing space where someone can let go and feel more at home in their body.
This isn’t just a gift, it’s an experience of care, presence, and deep relaxation.
If you’re wanting to give something thoughtful and meaningful this season, this is a beautiful way to do that.
✨ Don’t wait. Gift cards are available now.
