Deep Tissue Massage: What It Really Does 🤍

Deep tissue isn’t about “hurting to heal.”
It’s about intentional pressure, slow movements, and working with your nervous system—not against it.

✨ Deep tissue helps with:
• Chronic muscle tension
• Knots and adhesions
• Limited range of motion
• Old injuries & repetitive strain
• Stress held deep in the body (jaw, hips, shoulders)

I use tools like targeted pressure, slow fascial work, and therapeutic creams to help muscles soften and release—not brace and protect.

💡 What you might feel:
✔️ A deep, relieving “good pressure”
✔️ Emotional release (totally normal)
✔️ Soreness for 24–48 hours as your body integrates
✔️ Long-lasting relief when done consistently

💧 Aftercare matters: hydrate, stretch gently, and support your body between sessions.

For best results, deep tissue works beautifully as a monthly maintenance practice, not a one-time fix.

Your body holds your story.
Deep tissue helps it let go 🤍

Sending extra love to anyone who feels this season a little heavier than it looks.
To those grieving, missing loved ones, feeling stretched thin, holding it together by a thread, trying to create magic for their kids, or quietly worrying about what’s next—you’re not alone.

It’s okay if joy and sadness exist at the same time.
It’s okay if rest is your biggest win today.

May you feel held, seen, and supported exactly where you are. 🤍
Gentle reminders: breathe, soften your shoulders, and give yourself the same compassion you give everyone else.

Hi, I’m Holly — a licensed massage therapist and the heart behind Healing with Holly.

I went to Body Wisdom Massage Therapy School in Urbandale, where I learned that massage is about so much more than muscles. It’s about the nervous system, emotional release, and creating a space where the body feels safe enough to soften.

I became a massage therapist for a deeply personal reason.

Growing up, my mom struggled with her mental health. We would go get massages together, and every time afterward, I noticed a shift. She felt more aligned, more present, more herself. Those moments showed me the power of touch — not just to relax the body, but to bring someone back into themselves.

That experience stayed with me.

My mission is to help people regulate their nervous system so they don’t feel stuck in their head, overwhelmed, or disconnected from their body.

✨ Fun fact: The vagus nerve is the main nerve of the parasympathetic nervous system — it tells your body when it’s safe to relax. Gentle, intentional touch and slow breathing help stimulate the vagus nerve, which can lower stress hormones, slow the heart rate, and create a deep sense of calm.

If you’ve been holding it all together for too long,
if your mind never seems to shut off,
if your body is asking for rest —

I’m here for you 🤍

What area of your body holds the most stress right now — neck, shoulders, or low back?

I see this all the time in my massage room 👇

A lot of people think pain means something is wrong with them.

But most of the time, your body is just holding more than it was designed to carry.

Tight shoulders?
Low back tension?
Jaw clenching?

That’s often:
• stress stored in the nervous system
• shallow breathing
• muscles doing jobs they weren’t meant to do

Massage doesn’t just “work on muscles.”
It teaches your body how to let go safely.

When the body feels supported, it softens.
When it softens, pain decreases.
When pain decreases, everything else gets easier — sleep, mood, movement.

If your body has been whispering (or yelling) at you lately, this is your sign to listen 🤍

✨ Why Your Muscles Feel Tight… Even When You “Did Nothing” Today ✨

Most people think muscle tension only comes from workouts or physical strain…
but your nervous system actually plays a bigger role than your muscles do.

Here’s what your body’s been whispering:

1️⃣ “I’m holding stress for you.”
Your shoulders + low back are the first to lock up when your mind is overwhelmed.
Your body will literally brace even if you’re sitting still.

2️⃣ “I haven’t fully exhaled.”
Shallow breathing keeps your muscles in “micro-fight-or-flight” mode.
A long exhale can relax more tension than a full stretch.

3️⃣ “I need circulation.”
Tightness is often just blood flow that isn’t moving well.
Massage increases circulation by up to 30%—that’s why you feel so warm + loose after a session.

4️⃣ “Let me feel safe again.”
Your body softens fastest when it feels supported, grounded, and safe—
that’s why moms especially feel tension melt on the table.
Your system finally gets permission to let go.

⸻

✨ If your muscles feel tight for no reason…it’s not “in your head.”

It’s in your nervous system—and that’s exactly what my massage work is designed to help with.

When you’re ready to feel like yourself again, I’ve got you.

There’s a universal truth that’s becoming more obvious the more self-aware people become:

What you say, you attract.
What you focus on, grows.
Your words set the vibration for your reality.

Your mind is always listening.
Your energy is always responding.
And your body is always absorbing the story you’re telling.

If you speak stress, your nervous system tightens.
If you speak peace, your body softens.
If you speak lack, life feels heavy.
If you speak abundance, life opens up.

Start observing your language:
✨ “I’m so overwhelmed” → “I’m learning to slow down.”
✨ “Nothing ever works out” → “I’m entering a better chapter.”
✨ “I’m tired of struggling” → “Ease is finding me.”

These small shifts raise your frequency and redirect your reality.
Not because it’s magic — but because your attention is powerful.
Your focus expands whatever you feed it.

Hold the vibration of who you want to become.
Speak it. Show up as it. Move like it.
Your vibe is the magnet. Your words are the signal.
Higher vibes attract higher lives. ✨
