Massage at Eades

02/17/2026

I don’t just provide massage therapy.
I receive it.

Every single week.

If I expect my clients to invest in their recovery, mobility, stress relief, and long-term function… I need to hold myself to the same standard.

Massage isn’t a luxury.
It’s maintenance.

As a therapist, I spend my days giving — physically and mentally. Staying on the table keeps my hands sharp, my body functioning, and my perspective honest. It reminds me what vulnerability feels like. It reminds me what quality care feels like.

You can’t preach what you don’t practice.

Whether you’re training hard, working long hours, managing stress, or simply aging like the rest of us — consistent bodywork matters more than waiting until something hurts.

I believe in this craft.
That’s why I invest in it myself.

Great Bend Chamber Coffee – First Christian Church

This morning’s Great Bend Chamber Coffee was hosted by First Christian Church (FCC), and it was great to hear about their Refuge and contemporary worship chapel. They shared how they’re creating space for connection, encouragement, and community right here in Great Bend.

I also had the opportunity to visit with Aaron Rainey, owner and operator of Iron Therapy Training, and my colleague Sandy Burton, a fellow massage therapist. It’s always encouraging to connect with other health and wellness professionals who are invested in helping people move, heal, and grow stronger.

Chamber Coffee continues to be one of the best ways to stay engaged with local businesses, churches, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs. A rising tide carries all ships — and events like this remind me how much strength there is in supporting one another.

If you haven’t attended a Great Bend Chamber Coffee yet, I highly recommend it.

As a former nurse’s aide who worked primarily in geriatric care across facilities throughout Kansas, I’ve had the opportunity to work with many older adults whose needs didn’t fit a standard massage session. Over the years, I’ve continued to serve clients who require a more flexible, compassionate approach.

If you have a loved one who is homebound or living in a care facility, feel free to ask me about my in-home visit options and rates.

Geriatric massage takes into account the many factors that influence an aging body, including one’s overall health status, medical conditions, and medication use.

It is widely recognized that proprioceptive input from muscle joints and other receptors is necessary for the accurate conti of movement and posture. Loss of proprioception results in large systematic errors in multi-joint movements attributed, at least in part, to impaired motor programming.

Great morning out connecting with our local community ☕🤝

I started the day at Great Bend Chamber of Commerce Chamber Coffee, hosted by Central Kansas Christian Academy. It was great to see the students, staff, and supporters—and they’re currently running a popcorn fundraiser to support the school. If you’re looking for a way to help local kids and education, keep an eye out for that 🍿💜

After coffee, I headed over to a ribbon cutting for New Horizon Services, who provide services and support for individuals with disabilities. I had the opportunity to introduce myself, share my card, and talk about the type of work I do. I’ve been fortunate to help clients who fall into this category, and it’s meaningful to continue building relationships where compassionate, appropriate bodywork can truly make a difference.

Days like this are a good reminder of why local connections matter—supporting schools, supporting services, and supporting people. Grateful to be part of a community that shows up. Great Bend Chamber of Commerce Explore Great Bend, KS greatbend_ed
