Ever wonder what occupies my time outside of massage therapy?

The answer is managing my emails…and alleviating jaw discomfort.

As someone living with a chronic illness, I experience daily pain that varies in location and severity. Due to psoriatic arthritis, I have bone-on-bone contact in my jaw. I often clench as a coping mechanism when I'm in pain, resulting in significant trigger point tension. Then, I also have run of the mill bruxism. Whoooeee!!!

I've found considerable relief through intraoral massage, (which additional surprise,) helps drain my sinuses.

If you're interested in this treatment, please note that a doctor's referral is required. This can be from your primary care provider, dentist, orthodontist, pain specialist, or rheumatologist. Really, any doctor. With a referral, you'll also receive sales tax exemption on your bill due to its medical nature (this is additionally true for regular massage services) resulting in an 8% savings!!

It might not be pretty, but it will help!!

Patient said her ankle was hurting. But so was her low back and shoulder. I started with quads…A tight rope like fascial adhesion popped up going from her knee to her hip. Released that and her ankle was better. Never touched her ankle. It’s all connected!!! Just have to follow the patterns.

You start crying during your massage.

You don’t know why.

It’s perhaps tender, so yes painful, but it doesn’t make sense. Other things…they hurt worse and you’ve never cried with those things…why now?!?

Modern science often neglects it or never explains it or calls it something else..
But the body does store trauma.

It’s kinda embarrassing. Like I shouldn’t be crying. It’s not like my best friend died…but maybe they did and your body is remembering because you stored the grief in your lungs because it took your breath away. You stored it in your shoulders because it felt like the world came crashing down .

Why is it so hard to admit that the emotional pains can affect the body in energetic but very physical ways?

Perhaps you were taught that it’s better to be tough and strong and now that you slow down enough for a massage it gives the body a chance to re-distribute energy .Maybe it’s just not crazy to think that something that affected you so much emotionally should also not affect you physically.

Mercy. We need to give ourselves more room to be…human.

It’s ok to cry here. It’s ok to relax. You’re safe. There’s no judgement. It’s happened to me too.

A late Happy Easter to y’all and a shout out to my dear friend for knitting Lucy a bunny outfit. It’s so adorable.

Manifesting that she lays a golden egg…Lucy…not my friend.

Ever notice a trend in the medical field lately? “Diagnosed late because early signs are missed” Folks (especially women) before you let another doctor gaslight you, consider that perhaps the medical field has not caught up to the science that you have already physically experienced and YOU ARE NOT CRAZY. 🤪

If you’d like to help pay off the new steam sanitizing washing machine, or for new classes for certification in lymphatic drainage, it’s your lucky day!! Packages are available again for a limited time.
