Most people aren't sure if they will benefit from a lymphatic drainage treatment…
Until they realize how off their body has been feeling.

If you ever feel like:

-Your jeans fit one day and feel two sizes smaller a couple days later 👖

-You’re always “tight” no matter how much you stretch

-Your calves/limbs feel stiff or heavy

-You deal with bloating, headaches, or sluggish digestion

-Your body just feels dense instead of spacious

That’s fluid imbalance 💧

Lymphatic drainage helps your body move excess fluid, reduce inflammation, and create space again — not by forcing anything, but by supporting what your body already wants to do.

People are often surprised by how much this work helps with:
• bloating & GI issues
• headaches & sinus pressure
• fluid retention in the legs
• feeling less puffy overall
• breathing more freely
• skin looking clearer and healthier
• supporting weight-loss journeys
• feeling lighter and more at home in their body ✨

I say this all the time:
If your clothes fit one day and suddenly don’t the next — that’s not weight gain, that’s fluid.

And yes… lymphatic work helps with THAT 👀

This isn’t a “luxury” treatment.
It’s foundational support your body benefits from whether you realize it yet or not 🤍🌀

Happy Valentine’s Day from me and Gwen 💖🐾

One of my favorite holidays because I love chocolate, everything pink, and honestly… I just love love! 🥰🎀💗🍫

My practice has evolved a lot over the years.

As I learn more — and as I watch what actually helps you — my philosophy on healing keeps shifting. One thing I’m constantly navigating is this:

Do we chase quick fixes that feel amazing right away?
Or do we focus on long-term solutions for pain?

Most of the time, I choose long-term.

We all love that instant relief of deep massage. But when you come back month after month with the same pain, I can’t help but want more for you.

I’m not here to just help you relax for an hour and send you on your way.
I’m here to help your body move better so pain isn’t running the show.

That can look like:
• stretch therapy to restore movement
• lymphatic work to reduce heaviness and inflammation
• cupping to help fascia glide instead of feeling stuck
• scraping to offload muscles that are doing way too much
• craniosacral therapy to help you feel grounded and bring down anxiety

The goal isn’t “perfect.”
The goal is being able to live your life without your body constantly pushing back.

I’m here to support you — and sometimes gently challenge you — as you move toward a healthier version of yourself.

What do you give yourself absolute permission to do?

For me, it started with walking.

Lately, I’ve been craving more movement but kept telling myself I didn’t have the time and “next month would be easier”. So I came up with an idea to start going to the gym before work — and honestly, getting out the door before 6:30am is no small thing for me. I didn’t set expectations or goals. I just told myself: if I can make it there for 10 minutes to walk, I showed up for myself today.

That was it.
That was the permission.

That small choice — giving myself permission to move my body before I help you care for yours — has slowly turned into something really beautiful. It’s given me a sense of agency over the most important thing we have in this world: time.

So what do you give yourself permission to do this year?

To read more?
To sleep more?
To move your body again?
To dance? To create? To explore?

And maybe — just maybe — what you need most this year is permission to let something go.
You don’t need to sacrifice parts of yourself to feel free.

You just need permission. ✨

January… this is Ground Zero ☯️

January isn’t about rushing into change for me — new year’s resolutions, new rules, new expectations of how we can “be better.”

The whole "New Year, New You" idea has never really worked for me. To me, a new year is an opportunity to embrace who you are — not to wipe the slate clean and forget all the versions of you that came before this one. It’s about coming back to baseline and reconnecting with yourself.

The Earth is a year older, and if you are too, that is a blessing. This time is for those of you who thought you’d never make it into a new year — or even prayed you never would.

This is the month where we pause, assess, and listen — to our bodies, our nervous systems, and what we actually need after a long year. Healing doesn’t start with pushing harder. It starts with rest, repair, and honest awareness of how you’re really feeling.

You don’t need a full reset or a perfectly planned routine right now. Sometimes the most supportive thing you can do is slow down enough to notice what feels depleted and what feels supportive. From there, everything else becomes clearer.

We don’t rush healing here.
We assess. We listen. We rest.

Let January be an open door for you — open to opportunities, open to rest, and open to healing ❤️‍🩹

I’ve had a space open up this week, and it just might be your sign that some self-care is needed. The holidays are behind us, and as we land into the new year, our bodies often ask for a reset before our minds do.

This session could be used to support things like:
• TMJ or jaw tension
• Tight shoulders or neck pain
• Low back discomfort
• Headaches
• Sluggishness or fluid retention from disrupted routines
• Digestive or GI-related tension

If it feels like your body has been asking for a little repair, this is a beautiful time to reset your nervous system and reconnect with yourself.

Man how this year has flown by.

I’m truly grateful for the space we moved into back in January. It’s held so much growth and healing this year — more than I could have imagined. We’re learning to heal, to soften, to acknowledge parts of ourselves that once felt too heavy to even look at.

There will be so much to celebrate in the new year… and there will be things we gently leave behind. One thing that won’t change is how thankful I am to have spent this past year with you all. We’ve shared laughs, tears, babies being born, loved ones passing on. However our paths crossed this year, I’m grateful to have touched your life — even for a moment.

My mantra for 2026:
To exude the love I want to receive.
To pour into myself, so I can pour back into the world.

🥳🌞🥂 Cheers to the new year!

Happy holidays, sweet clients 🤍
I’m officially on a little “break” — with family gatherings sprinkled in, plus some admin work and much needed planning for 2026 over the next week or so. I’m so grateful for each of you and hope this season brings you whatever you need — rest, connection, quiet, or space. And if the holidays feel heavy this year, I’m sending you extra love and wishing you gentleness and peace. 🎄✨

✨ Winter reset opening - tomorrow ✨

If the holidays have you feeling tense, overstimulated, or simply in need of a pause, I have an opening tomorrow for a 60-minute session.

Choose what your body needs most right now — a deeply nourishing facial, therapeutic bodywork, or something gentle like craniosacral therapy to help your nervous system settle before the busy days ahead.

Consider it a quiet reset before the celebrations begin. 🤍 🎄 ❄️ ⛄️

A little December update 💛

January is now fully published in the portal — and I opened a few February spots too for those of you who like planning ahead.

Thank you for keeping my practice full, for trying new treatments with me, and for trusting me with your healing.

I’ll also be welcoming an intentionally small number of new clients in 2026 who feel aligned with restorative, nervous-system-centered bodywork. If someone in your life has been looking for this kind of support, feel free to send them my way.

If you need a little reset this month (or something cozy to look forward to), please reach out or check the schedule online. 💛

🧡 A Thanksgiving hello from Arleta & Gwen 🐾

As we head into the holiday weekend, I’ve been feeling extra grateful for the people who walk through my door.

The trust, the conversations, the healing work we get to do together — it means a lot to me, and I’m thankful every single day that I get to do this work with you.

I’ll be out of office Thursday–Tuesday to rest, recharge and I hope you’re also able to slow down and take a breath this weekend. You deserve that.

And — if you’re wanting to thank yourself this season, I did open up a few treatment spaces in the portal. Moving forward I’m trying to release a couple spots each week for those of you who can’t plan too far ahead🤎

Stay warm, eat lots and enjoy yourselves!

☃️ Winter Wellness Reminder❄️

Hey sweet friends!

As the cold weather sets in, a quick reminder that my door stays locked during sessions for everyone’s comfort and safety. I don’t want anyone getting stuck outside in the cold 🥶 — please plan to arrive right at your scheduled appointment time (not before).

✨Cold & Flu Season is back 😷

We share a lot of wonderful things in the treatment room — relaxation, stories, and healing energy — but germs aren’t on that list ✨ If you’re feeling under the weather, please reach out so we can reschedule and give your body the rest it needs. I’ll always do my best to find another time once you’re back to feeling your best!

To keep things fair for everyone, my cancellation policy will still apply, with exceptions made for inclement weather.

Let’s keep everyone healthy, cozy, and glowing this season 💆🏻‍♀️🍁💛
