Have you ever had that moment when you know one door is closing… but another one is opening?

I’m living in that moment right now.
As I stepped back and took this picture… I saw that door open—

and at the same time, I knew I was closing it behind me.

I smiled… with a tear rolling down my cheek.

The smile came from knowing that next week, I begin a new chapter in a new space.

A fresh start. A new energy. Something I’ve been led to.

And that tear…
that was for what I’m leaving behind.

This space has been my normal.
My familiarity.
My comfort zone.

And if I’m being honest…
stepping out of that is not always easy for me.

Many of you may not know this, but I do have anxiety.

I don’t talk about it often, but it’s there.

I’m someone who works… and then rushes home—
because home is my sanctuary.
My safe place.

So walking into something new…
the unknown…
it’s a little scary.
But it’s also exciting.

And maybe that’s the lesson in all of this—

That two things can exist at the same time.

Fear and excitement.
Sadness and gratitude.
Endings and beginnings.

A friend once told me:
“Getting out of your comfort zone can be scary… but sometimes that’s exactly what’s needed.”

And those are words I’m choosing to live by right now.

So if you ever find yourself standing in that in-between…

with one door closing and another opening—

Don’t doubt it.

Just breathe… and take the step.

Last Day… New Beginnings

As I sit here waiting for my final few clients on my last day in this space, I find myself reflecting on the past four years.

Who would have ever thought I’d leave long-term care and step into a life where I am my own boss—doing what I love every single day? Helping people through pain, stress, and the weight of life… no matter their age or stage. Watching them leave feeling relaxed, refreshed, and reconnected—it has filled my heart in ways I can’t fully put into words.
Today feels bittersweet.

I’m a little sad to close this chapter, because it has taught me so much. I started with just a table, a chair, and a few simple items… and as my business grew, so did I.

Along the way, I didn’t just gain clients—I gained relationships. Friendships. Family.
Each person who walked through my door brought their own story. Some thriving, some just getting by—but every single one of you taught me something.
About life. About strength. About myself.
And for that… I am truly, deeply thankful 🤍
As I begin packing up today, I find myself a little emotional.

To Cindy Cynthia Starnes —thank you for believing in me and giving me the space to grow. We may have worked independently, but I learned so much from you. You’ve always led with kindness, with grace, and with a truly giving heart.

You were never competition—you were always a friend… and truly, more like a sister.

For those wondering—this move isn’t about anything negative. Nothing happened. Cindy and I are professionals, and sometimes growth simply means spreading your wings and stepping into a new space.

Cindy, thank you again for trusting me to be part of this journey with you. I wish you nothing but the very best in your next chapter.

And as for me…

This isn’t the end—it’s just the beginning of something new

“What My Clients Have Taught Me”

Over time, my clients have said things to me that I carry in my heart… the kind of words you don’t forget.

I once had a client struggling with knee pain for years. She had tried everything—massages, doctors, different treatments—and nothing gave her relief. After one reflexology session, she felt a difference.
Six months later, I ran into her at a gas station. She stopped me just to say,
“Thank you… I still have no pain.”

Another client shared something even deeper. She told me she feels safe in my space.

That she can open up without fear because she knows she won’t be judged.
And she’s right—because my room has always been a judgment-free zone.

You can tell me anything.
Not only will I listen… but I’ll remind you that you matter.

That you are human.
That you are someone special.

She told me her body felt better… but more importantly, her heart felt lighter.

I’ve had a client tell me their headaches disappeared after a session—
and for the first time in a long time, they could go home and enjoy playing with their kids.

And then there are the little moments that stay with me just as much…
like a 5-year-old who barely speaks to anyone, but during his pediatric reflexology session—he opened up.
He told me about his dogs, his best friends, and how his grandparents make him feel happy.

Those moments mean everything.

Because when I step back and reflect…
this isn’t just about a job.

It’s not about numbers or how busy I am.
It’s about people.
It’s about realizing that we never truly know what someone is going through.

But what I do know is this—

every single person has a place in this world.
Every single person matters.
And sometimes…
you might be the only light someone sees that day.

You might be their safe space.
Their comfort.
Their moment to breathe

Don’t ever think you aren’t doing enough.
Don’t ever think you aren’t making a difference.

So thank you to all of my clients for being you!!!!!!!!

Let’s be real for a second…

Some days I’m out here creating the most calming, peaceful, healing environment for others…

…and then there’s me in the car with a Reese’s as my meal 😂🍫

Running from one thing to the next, barely having time to sit down…
but still showing up, still pouring into others, still doing what I love.

This life of owning a small business isn’t always pretty behind the scenes.
It’s long days, quick meals, and learning to take moments where you can get them.

But even in the chaos… I’m grateful.
Grateful for the clients who trust me
Grateful for the conversations
Grateful for the space I get to hold for others

But can we talk about my clients for a second…

Because somehow they just know…

The Diet Cokes that show up
The Reese’s that magically appear
The Dunkin gift cards that save my life on busy days ☕🍫

It’s the little things like that… that mean more than you probably realize.

I feel so loved and taken care of… by the very people I’m trying to take care of.
And that right there?

That’s something really special 💖

One day I’ll be that girl with the perfectly prepped healthy meals…
…but today?

It’s Reese’s, caffeine, and the best clients ever.

Tell me I’m not the only one doing this
Anyone else guilty of this?

This is honestly a hard post for me to write.

After a lot of thought, prayer, and reflection, I want to share that Mistletoe Massage will be relocating to a new space soon.

Due to circumstances beyond my control — and through no fault of the wonderful business I currently subcontract with — it is simply time for a transition. I am incredibly grateful for the opportunity I had there and for the support that was shown to me while growing my practice.
Sometimes life gently leads us into a new chapter, even when we didn’t expect it.

What matters most is that Mistletoe Massage isn’t going anywhere. My passion for helping people relax, restore, and care for their bodies remains the same. In fact, I’m excited to be creating a beautiful new space that will bring even more peace, comfort, and relaxation to each person who walks through the door.

This journey has always been about more than massage for me — it’s about creating a place where people can pause from the stress of life, breathe deeply, and feel cared for.

📍 Important update for clients:
All March appointments will remain at my current location.

Beginning April 1st, appointments will take place at my new location:

301 E 1st Street
Suite C
Ferdinand, IN 47532

I’m truly excited about this next chapter and can’t wait to welcome you into the new space very soon.

Thank you for continuing to support my small business and trusting me to be part of your wellness journey. It truly means more than you know.

Grounded Certainty

I want to be clear about something
I am confident, and that does not equal arrogance.

It means I am grounded.

I walk into rooms now with certainty.
Not certainty that everyone will like me
but certainty in who I am.

Certainty that no one can steal my joy.
My grace.
My happiness.

I may still feel eyes on me.
I may still sense judgment, whispers, or opinions.

But those things no longer move me.
Because I know myself.

I know that I am strong.
I know that I am kind.
I know that I am confident without being loud.
Loving without being naive.
Caring without abandoning myself.
Selfless, but no longer self-erasing.

And I didn’t get here alone.

I was supported.
I was held.
I was loved in a way that allowed me to heal instead of harden.

I have an amazing husband who became my safe haven who validated my feelings,
stood steady when I was learning to soften, and reminded me that I didn’t have to carry everything by myself.

This isn’t ego.
This is alignment.

This is what happens when truth, love, and self-respect meet.

I don’t need to prove who I am.
I live it.

And that certainty?
That’s peace.

Hospital Spa Day !!!!!!!

Hospitals can feel heavy—physically, emotionally, spiritually.

Pain is loud. Fear creeps in. Control slips away.

So today, I chose to bring a little peace into the room.

A bit of lotion.
Painted toes.
Gentle touch.

A quiet reminder that love still lives here.
Caregiving is more than tending to the body—it’s tending to the spirit. It’s showing up with patience, compassion, and grace, even when the road is hard. I believe God meets us in these small moments—the soft ones—the ones that don’t look big, but mean everything.

Tomorrow is never promised.

So today, I choose presence.
I choose kindness.
I choose to love the way I’ve been called to love.

Even in a hospital room, healing can begin.

Women rising, businesses blooming.

Wearing this festive Christmas hat from a small business I proudly stand behind—because supporting each other is what keeps our community thriving, especially during the holidays.

This season isn’t just about gifts… it’s about giving back.

And proving that collaboration is the brightest star on the tree.
