Creating Elation Massage Studio

02/27/2020

3 years ago today I posted this on my personal page, I don't consistently cultivate a social media presence but this was a point in my journey that effected me professionally and personally on many levels 🥰 I'm glad I wrote down this snapshot in time! It's so cool to feel back into this moment where I'd made a turning point. It's a reminder to keep pushing when you're doubting yourself, because the most rewarding lessons and highs usually come out of that pursuit to elevate and grow!

Finished Watsu 2 and I have a much deserved day off exploring San Diego tomorrow 😎 Finding proper alignment in the water, combining massage strokes and bodywork with footwork and utilizing movement to integrate and organize the skeleton in 3 dimensions were just some of the challenges that were presented during this opportunity to grow. I was thouroughly shaken out my comfort zone in so many ways and even questioned my capability to pursue moving futher along this path I've been drawn too. But in the end I feel that every struggle only showed me a deeper understanding of my potential and what I can bring to my community as a healer. I am looking forward to a long career in aquatic bodywork and I can't wait to keep learning from my wonderful teacher and listening to the bodies who join me in the water.

I have been pursuing a new skill to add to my tool box!
Yesterday I took a Death Doula workshop with DeathWives called Deeper Deathwork... which was so informative and heartfelt! Thanks Erin Merelli and Lauren!
I've also been volunteering with Denver Hospice as a reiki volunteer! Things are starting to fall into place :) I'm excited to utilize this knowledge and hold space for those going through this sacred transition that unites us all 💗🙏

I've used Camphor as an alley to sooth pain and inflammation in the past for both me and my clients... Looks like it has so much more to offer though! Looks like I'll be partnering with this gift from the cinnamonum camphora tree a lot more in the future.

🌎👏Thanks for all the beautiful medicine your grow for us Mother Earth, you continue to amaze me with your bounty 💖💗

Benefits of camphor include treatment for cough, cold, chest congestion, joint pain, and indigestion. It can heal minor wounds and boost blood circulation.

Check out this detailed article about how to prevent injury and/or help with mild but chronic shoulder issues. The muscles of the rotator cuff are small and easily damaged but by both stretching and strengthening we can improve range of motion and rehabilitate minor injuries! Don't forget to do both sides!

Exercise to effectively and non-surgically manage rotator cuff pain. Try pendulum, passive internal, and external rotation stretches to improve flexibility. Perform elbow flexion, extension, and rotations with elastic bands to strengthen the shoulder’s supporting muscles.

I used burdock rook tincture to control hormonal acne when coming off of birth control! One of my old go to herbal allies!
Lots of great other uses for this medicine too. I have vodka tincture of burdock root in my apothecary and can custom blend it with other herbal tinctures for your specific needs or sell you a simple of just burdock! $10 for 1oz :)

With its anti-inflammatory and antibacterial effects, burdock roots have great health benefits. Being an antioxidant, they also boost your immunity.
