Thanks to those who came to 8am sound and Reiki Experience. Don't dim your light.... I am.... 🔥

We didn’t come here to stay comfortable.

Rebirth hit— and instead of resisting, we let it dismantle us.

Because what’s real doesn’t fear the fire.

We chose play on purpose— not as escape, but as activation. Joy is how we reclaim our energy.

We see the masks now… the politics, the performances, the places we abandoned ourselves to belong.

That illusion? It doesn’t hold us anymore.

We slowed all the way down— long enough to hear what’s true beneath the noise.

We found power in the ordinary, in presence, in breath, in choosing ourselves without explanation.

We met our innocence again— not fragile, not naive… but sovereign.

We let the false fall away. We integrated the shadow, the light, and everything in between.

No more splitting. No more shrinking.
And from that space— We rise. We expand. We bloom in full expression.

Not polished.
Not palatable.
But real.

And real is what transforms everything.

Keep vibrating and hope to see you again in the echoes ofthe gongs

Bronson and I approach health from a biohacker’s mindset—curious, intentional, and committed to optimizing the body at every level. We invest the time to research and deeply understand what’s actually happening within the body, even when that means looking beyond conventional models of care. We can spend hours in conversation around hormone replacement therapy and the evolving landscape of peptides, including—but not limited to—GLP-1, GLP-2, and emerging developments like GLP-3.

What we’ve found is that the health space is often filled with conflicting narratives. I’ve personally encountered medical professionals who dismissed HRT and peptides as a “gimmick,” while simultaneously offering GLP-1 medications or insulin—both of which are peptides. That disconnect is exactly why we believe in doing our own due diligence and staying informed through both research and lived experience.

From a biohacker perspective, we’ve explored peptides across various areas of health and performance—not from a place of trend-chasing, but from a commitment of curiosity, education, personal responsibility, and growth. As massage therapists and coaches, we take a holistic approach, supporting the body structurally, metabolically, and neurologically.

We also recognize that conversations around GLP-1 medications are rapidly expanding. While these compounds can be powerful tools, they also place unique demands on the body. This is where supportive care—such as massage—becomes an important part of the equation. Massage can enhance circulation, support lymphatic flow, reduce physical tension, and help shift the nervous system into a more regulated, restorative state. When the body is adapting to metabolic change, that level of support matters.

At the same time, it’s important to be clear about our role. We do not prescribe, diagnose, or direct individuals to specific sources for peptides. We do have local sources for HRT's. What we offer is equally valuable—a space for open and judgment-free conversation. A place where you can explore and feel supported.

Optimized health is a choice. I am grateful to my coaches and their guidance. We ar here for the open conversation

Teaching Advanced Reiki Master this weekend.

These are the cards I pulled today… and wow, they called me all the way out.

The Fool and the King of Wands.

And if I’m being honest—this is exactly where I am in my own evolution as an educator.

I’ve been teaching in the Holy Fire system for years… and for a long time, it felt forced.

Like I had to fit inside a box.

Stay in the lines.

Say it the “right” way.

And that never sat right in my body.
It felt confined. Tight. Performed.

But here’s the truth I couldn’t ignore anymore— people aren’t coming to my classes to get a copy of a system…
they’re coming to experience me and all I know.

One of my Master students said that to me, and it landed....Hard.

That was my Fool moment.
Let go of control. Stop trying to do it “right.” Trust myself enough to shift.

And now?

The King of Wands.
I’m no longer asking permission to teach the way I know I’m meant to.
I’m bringing in the depth. The edge. The things that light me up—the work I’ve been living and breathing for over 25 years.

No more shrinking it down to fit.

Authenticity isn’t neat.

It doesn’t stay inside the lines.

And honestly? My students feel the difference. I feel the difference.
This is what happens when you stop performing your role… and start embodying it.

This weekend isn’t surface-level… we’re going in.

We start by learning how to actually listen—not the overthinking kind, but intuitive communication. The kind your body already knows, if you’d slow down long enough to hear it.

Today we get real about your space.
Not just cleaning it… clearing it.
Energetic hygiene. What you’re holding, what’s lingering, what needs to go.

This afternoon—chakra awareness.
Not the pretty version. The honest one.

Where you’re open, where you’re blocked, where you’ve been compensating. And tomorrow… we walk into the dark a little.

Not to stay there—but to clean it up.

Healing spirit attachments. Cutting cords. Releasing what you’ve outgrown but maybe haven’t had the tools—or courage—to fully let go of. Bending to meet the students needs

This is the work.
Real, grounded, no-bypass transformation.

In truth and unapologetic,
🌀 Cherise

I tried sitting still… but let’s be honest—that was never going to last 😏

I’m not built to watch life pass by.
I’m built to blow it up.

I’ve been on the edge of something…

So here it is—

I’m jumping.

I'm drinking the tea.

Taking the dive without knowing the depth

Because life’s too short to play small… and I’m not leaving without making some noise 💥

Last summer, I knew something was brewing… I just didn’t have the full vision yet.

I stepped in, stepped back… recalibrated.

Now? I’m all in.

This isn’t just growth—this is expansion with intention.

Screaming Octopus ecosystem is evolving and taking space.

And things are getting real… real fast.

You’ll feel it before you fully see it 👀

Stay close… it’s about to get a little wild.

Off her leash,
💥🚀 Cherise

April: Shadow work

Full Moon. No hiding. No pretending. 🌕

Let me say this louder for the people in the back—

You don’t need more “love and light.”

You need to meet the parts of you you’ve been avoiding.

Yeah… that part.

The one that gets jealous.
The one that wants more and feels guilty about it.

The one that’s tired of being nice, agreeable, and palatable all the time.

The one that knows damn well you’re playing smaller than you’re meant to.

That’s your shadow.

Not broken.
Not wrong.
Just… exiled.

And here’s the truth most spaces won’t touch: Your shadow is either integrated… or it’s running the show behind your back.

So if you keep finding yourself in the same patterns, same triggers, same cycles— it’s not bad luck.

It’s unclaimed power.

This work? It’s not cute.
It’s not aesthetic.

It’s not for the version of you that wants to stay comfortable and call it “healing.”

This is for the version of you that’s ready to be honest.

This month I’m holding: ⚡ Sound meditations that don’t just relax you—they move things

⚡ A full moon group coaching session where we go straight to the root

No bypassing.
No spiritual ego.
No hiding behind “I’m good.”

The full moon will illuminate it anyway.

You can either let it shake you… or you can walk in and meet it on purpose.

Your choice.

✨ Come if you’re ready to stop performing and start transforming
✨ Come if you’re done abandoning parts of yourself to be accepted
✨ Come if you can handle your own depth

Spots are limited.

Book onljne at screamingoctopus.com, choose groups, review classes and then join the journeys.

Or don’t… and keep repeating the same cycle.

Your move.

If your kid is in sports, their body is working overtime.

Between practices, games, growth spurts, and school… recovery often gets overlooked.

Youth athletes need support too.
Sports massage helps:
✔ ease soreness
✔ prevent injuries
✔ improve mobility
✔ support healthy development

Don’t wait for pain to start taking care of them.

Bronson is excellent with kids—raising an athlete of his own and having a background in sports himself. He understands not only what the body needs, but also the mindset of young athletes and how to communicate with them in a way that builds trust and confidence.

If your kid is active in sports, let’s keep their body supported through every season.

Taking care of their body now sets them up for a lifetime of movement.

Start them young and set your young athlete up for long-term success—book a sports massage with Bronson and start building body awareness early.

My personal Reiki journey.

When I first began my journey into energy work, I thought it would look like quiet rooms, soft music, and long meditative 1:1 sessions. That’s not how it unfolded—and if I’m honest, that was frustrating. I was holding onto an expectation that didn’t actually fit who I am, and underneath that, I didn’t fully trust the experience yet. Over time, something shifted. I began to realize I was always doing the work—in conversation, through touch, in the space I hold as a massage therapist, coach, and hypnotherapist. It was never confined to a room; it was a steady current moving through everything.

After 25 years of training in multiple modalities, it wasn’t until I found Holy Fire Reiki that I truly felt trust. Not because it was better, but because it felt clear, rooted, and undiluted. That’s why I teach it with a strong foundation in Levels 1 & 2, while allowing space for deeper integration and personal experience as students move into advanced work.

Right now, I’m also using this practice in a different way—directing energy toward a future project that I am working on while clearing blocks from my past. Because Reiki isn’t limited by time or space, the work expands far beyond the present. That's why it can be quite powerful in business and realtionships.

This work isn’t about fitting into a mold—it’s about recognizing the energy that’s already moving through you and learning to trust it. By learning Reiki what we are doing is refining your energy and the Intuitive gifts you already have.

✨ Sound Meditation (…but not the sleepy spa version) ✨

Come join us for a deeper experience of Energy Medicine through sound, presence, and connection.

I’ll be working with Himalayan bowls, gong, and other earthly sounds to guide you through the layers of your consciousness. Each meditation carries a focus—because we’re not just making pretty noise and hoping something magical happens.

These are not your typical sound baths.
We’re not just lying on the floor hoping to relax for an hour.

This is a guided exploration of the unconscious mind, using sound as the doorway into places meditation doesn’t always reach on its own. Through vibration and presence, you’re invited to listen to the quiet wisdom already living inside you.

Will you relax? Probably.
Is relaxation the point? Not really.

The real magic is in the insights that surface, the reflections that arise, and the shared exploration within the group.

Think less spa day…
and more soulful group therapy with sound as the guide and your inner wisdom leading the way.

✨ Come experience Sound Meditation

What to bring:
• Yoga mat
• Pillow + blanket
• Under-knee bolster if you like
• Eye covering (mask or small pillow)
• Anything that makes your nest cozy

Times:
🌙 Evening sessions — 6 PM
☀️ Saturdays — 8 AM

Tap “Tickets” for details or head to
screamingoctopus.com → Groups → “Join the Journey.”

Why people love sound meditation:

• Deep relaxation of body, mind & emotions
• Releases energetic and emotional blockages
• Supports muscle recovery and joint relief
• Improves circulation and digestion
• Helps clear emotional and mental tension
• Synchronizes cells, tissues, and organs
• Supports detoxification (physical + energetic)
• Balances chakras, meridians, organs, and nervous system
• Connects you to your inner knowing
• Raises your vibration to support meaningful change

Come curious.
Come cozy.
Come ready to listen deeper. 🎶

What's actually happening under those cups?

Need body work?
We have sessions available this week.

Cherise Tuesday and Wednesday @ 2:30

Bronson. Tuesday- Thursday

Book online at screamingoctopus.com

Massage Cupping — what’s actually happening under those cups?

✨ Benefits
• Lifts and decompresses fascia
• Increases circulation
• Helps release stubborn muscle tension
• Supports lymphatic flow + detox
• Improves mobility and recovery

And those colorful marks everyone asks about…

They’re not bruises — they’re a reflection of circulation and stagnation moving through the tissue.

🎨 Color clues:

Light pink → healthy circulation, mild stagnation

Red → active blood flow, muscle tension

Dark red / purple → deeper stagnation or chronic tightness

Brown / very dark → long-standing restriction

Speckled → tight fascia releasing

Marks usually fade in 1–7 days, and interestingly… the healthier the tissue becomes, the lighter the marks tend to be over time.

Your body tells a story through the tissue.

Cupping just helps it move again. ✨
