Happy 2026 Friends!
Is this the year you start adding self care to your routine?
Massage is so much more than working sore muscles. It's beneficial for the circulatory system, the lymphatic system, it moisturizes and nourishes skin. Massage gives the body and mind space to let go of tension and stress.
Do you frequently go to the chiropractor without getting a massage?
Tight/overworked muscles pull our body out of alignment causing causing pain in the musculature AND the joint. Give your body the complete treatment to improve your mobility and lessen your pain.

I've been forced into an early Christmas vacation after I suffered a Retina Detachment late last week. I'm recovering from surgery now and hopeful to regain full vision in my right eye. For now though Ive been placed on very strict physical restrictions.
I hope to be back in action after the 1st of the year though, so book your 2026 massage today!
