When your Nervous System can finally exhale,

Our favorite nervous system-regulating offerings, specifically designed for a new state of being. That deep breath you take on the table isn’t accidental. It’s your nervous system moving out of survival mode and into safety.

Therapeutic Massage & Reflexology — an intuitive massage focusing on where tension lies, combined with Dien Chan Zone Facial Reflexology, a powerful technique that stimulates points or reflex zones on the face that correspond to specific internal systems, aiding in releasing blockages throughout your body via the nervous system. By activating your own cellular intelligence during homeostasis, you are able to bring balance and self-heal.

Restorative Herbal Poultice Treatment — a nervous system treat, our herbal poultice is a steamed medicine ball, packed with anti-inflammatory herbs to support the healing process. Rhythmic motions, including compressions, rolling, and stretching the muscles to increase circulation and move energy within. The warmth of the herbal poultice calms the mind and body, increasing parasympathetic tone and decreasing sympathetic overdrive.

Hinoki bath Wrap & Scalp Treatment — this treatment focuses on the 3 areas that store emotion in the body: the crown or scalp, the abdomen, and the fascia throughout. The body is being restored as the scalp, neck, abdomen, and feet are wrapped in hot, mineral-rich soaked towels from the healing waters of a Japanese Onsen, contributing mood stabilization and anxiety reduction. Fascial release massage with our tool unwinds a layer, but important layer of our tissue that stores emotions, healing the nervous system.

Self-loving rituals,

🌺

🌺

Movement for your being,

Need a moment to self-regulate? Try these meditative movements that release tension in the spine and feel grounded almost instantly. Try for 3 minutes each:

Sufi Grinds
sit in criss-cross with hands on knees and move your being around and around going one direction and then switching to opposite.
Inhale moving forward and exhale moving backwards.
Open your chest as you move forward and curve your spine as you move backwards.
Also great for digestion support.

Swan Dives
Begin by sitting on your heels, hands touching the ground by your knees
starting with head movement, roll down and arch up
exhale as you go down, inhale as you go up
surrender, give gratitude to the year of the snake
rise to the year of the horse

Openings this Thursday & Friday
with love & care,
🌹

Learning how to support our bodies through detoxification with rhythm

What I’m focusing on right now: detoxification & it's probably not the way you’re thinking. Supportive detoxification vs cleanses, here are some ways to improve your state of being with gentle practices.

Morning rituals by cleansing the skin — overnight, our skin regenerates. The skin repairs itself by shedding dead skin cells, and mild perspiration occurs even in cool environments, creating residue on the skin. I've been loving the Hydra Face Tonic with probiotics, promoting a healthy balance for a radiant complexion.
The goal is not deep cleansing, but refreshing the skin and restoring equilibrium for the day ahead.

Sauna — we love a meditative sauna sesh. Unlike working out, the body is not put into a fight-or-flight mode. A sauna exposes the body to external, passive heat while the body remains physically still. This allows the nervous system to shift out of stress and exertion and into recovery.
A sauna signals safety and recovery, while a workout signals challenge and adaptation. Both are valuable, but they serve opposite roles in nervous system regulation.

Lymphatic Drainage via Therapeutic massage — Lymph flows in one direction: toward lymph nodes and eventually back into the venous system. Massage techniques follow this anatomy, moving fluid toward major lymph node clusters (neck, armpits, abdomen, groin). Massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system. When the body is in a relaxed state, lymphatic vessels contract more effectively, improving drainage.
Stress and sympathetic dominance tend to slow lymph movement.

Night Rituals with whipped Tallow body butter 🌺— I've done my research, and proud to say I am an active tallow (body) user. Tallow is naturally rich in vitamins that are critical for skin repair and regeneration. Its effectiveness lies in barrier repair, cellular nourishment, and inflammation modulation, rather than surface-level hydration alone. Massaging my skin with our Vanilla hibiscus whipped tallow is my FAVORITE post-shower ritual.

Facial Cupping with Prickly Pear serum —Always use a facial oil or serum to allow cups to glide smoothly. Facial cupping is slow, repetitive, and soothing. This promotes relaxation and vagal activation, which enhances lymph movement and overall fluid regulation.
Supporting natural detoxification, reducing congestion, and enhancing skin vitality without stressing the tissue.

From both somatic medicine and Ayurveda: Unprocessed emotions are stored in tissues—especially our Fascia, Gut, Liver, Jaw/neck/hips
When you resist feelings or experiences, the body tightens. That tension restricts circulation and lymph, trapping metabolic waste.
Surrender softens tissue.
Soft tissue = moving fluids.
Moving fluids = detoxification.
This is why people often cry, yawn, feel warmth, or need the bathroom after deep relaxation, massage, sauna, or breathwork—Those are release responses.

So there it is — no crazy, intense diet or workout, just passive and intentional movement you can do in your own home, & by booking your monthly treatment at ANSOB.

As seen on stories,

I've added some new highlights, chatting about our newest clean beauty and why I'm obsessed with them. Follow along as I talk more about these products and how to use them.

Lately being,

Join in on my thoughts & downloads this morning: Everything is coming into alignment.

This feels like completion after years & years of practicing massage therapy, learning different services and body treatments, massage modalities, ANSOB is complete. Beauty has always been the inspiration for my practice. Over the years, I have learned and discovered through these trainings, my personal reading, & perfecting different ways to treat the body- are all harmoniously going within- for a real therapeutic feeling and freedom. We will now have possibly our last treatment on our menu. It’s a sauna experience.
I have learned through Ayurvedic medicine and Chinese medicine that warmth is Vital for our being. Vitality is circulation, it is the Prana (life-force) running through your body. It’s the rhythmic vibration of your body from your toes to the end of your hair. This is where your nervous system is encapsulated; it needs to be taken care of, and that is why therapeutic massage has always been the goal in all of my treatments. Little did I know at the time the word therapeutic really meant taking care of your nervous system.

In our sauna treatment, my goal is for you to shed what no longer serves you. Support your body by detoxifying, relaxing, renewing & revitalizing the mind and body. Warmth creates movement within this treatment paired with our scrub, stimulating the lymphatic system, filtering the toxins internally while externally shedding a layer, leaving you feeling like a new being. I think finding a healthy routine with our offerings is a great way to support your overall well-being. The scrub is a physical exfoliant made with organic ingredients—sugar and cold-pressed coconut oil by Conscious Coconut (https://consciouscoconut.com) .

After the scrub, we apply our oil blends. The Detox blend is made with charcoal, lemongrass and chlorella, purifying the body. Our Calming blend has chamomile, melatonin and magnesium to help soothe and rest your being. I hope you’re in a new state, you find peace, where your body can heal & your inner beauty can shine. It was always about this healing practice: The mind-body connection, because by now, we all know when your mind is at ease, your body can heal. When your nervous system is in a restful state, that is when your dreams can come to fruition. All of your manifestations can come through and your body can function at its optimal. These are just thoughts as I’m on my walk. And I want to be more present for you and I hope you find time and a pocket of freedom in your day to do something therapeutic and healing for yourself. I want to start this Someday state journal because that was the beginning of A New State of Being, an end of a beginning.🥀

For a limited time,

I wanted to offer this to the Being Beauty community only, you can find this link either in our email and IG. Follow along on IG as I unbox our Steamy Wonder that arrived yesterday (Best day of my professional career) ! I made a highlight in case you missed it.

In Ayurvedic medicine, exfoliation is viewed as far more than a beauty practice — it’s a healing ritual that balances the body’s energies (doshas), clears energetic and physical blockages, and supports detoxification on multiple levels.

The Prana treatment is a 75 min experiece combining the healing powers of our Sauna and exfoliation, a time to reconnect with your self, and for renewal.

It has yet to hit the booking site- be the first to experience 🐍

daily rituals,

The term Elemental is reigniting- I'm enjoying creating this last offering not only because I've waited over a decade to get my hands on the Sauna but because this treatment is very elemental. Combining water, earth, & air - I can only imagine this treatment grounding your being. Awakening the senses and invigorating your nervous system in a supportive way.

Lately, walking with Sonnie has helped make this vision so clear. Being in nature helps too, when the weather is nice - it's hard for me to stay inside. I signed up with To Be Magnetic (https://tobemagnetic.com) , also after years & years listening to Lacey's podcast. And wow, tapping into your inner child, finding your "authentic code," and what makes you, you, is so liberating. The Deep imaging (DI's) are audios in the App, I listen to them during the walks, and Me and Mikey enjoy them at night while in bed. One of the best things you can do these days is to find ways to calm your Nervous system. Take care.

Hope to see you soon,

Katie

Happy October,

Hi, I hope you’re doing well. Over here, we are back at it- curating new treatments for

you(r Nervous system) and creating holistic skin experiences, with MORE to come!

Our facial herbal poultice is a potent and hydrating blend of botanicals and minerals designed to detoxify, restore, and nourish the skin. Infused with a carefully selected combination of ivy gourd, jasmine, Thai white clay, wild turmeric, ginger and sweet basil, this herbal poultice delivers deep hydration, brightens the complexion, and soothes the skin.

Lately being,

our woven therapies- as a new treatment arising from years of practicing facial massage, and our restorative body herbal poultice treatment, I was ready to curate an experience that holds layers of healing modalities into one. I like this expression woven therapies because it's symbolic to how our bodies are and how we hold on to our emotions and stress. Naturally, this treatment makes sense to me like peeling back layers and gently melting each area to simply feel better (& look vibrant.) I'm so happy to now offer the herbal poultice facial- a treatment you cant find anywhere else.

Have you seen our add-ons (https://book.squareup.com/appointments/762b9069-30c8-4678-9367-4b9b3b6a14b5/location/TVZJJ8KY908WR/services/N4N6VLEUWDHRK62KTOOQ2GV2) on the booking site? This is another way to create an experience that is uniquely yours and what you need at this time.

A few more ideas and inspirations are brewing over here in the studio. You may have caught my story on the Steamy Wonder, a canopy sauna that fits right over the table. It's something I've wanted for YEARS. And now, understanding energy a little bit more, being more knowlegable in our body's constitutions, and honestly, the older I get and feel, warmth and circulation is so crucial for vitality. I would love to offer body treatments with the Steamy wonder, like a scrub/ skin polishing treatment, that stimulates our lymphatic system, exfoliates and hydrates the skin. Who's in?

This Saturday is Benshen's Kundalini Immersion, a 10-hour training going into the depths of breathwork, mantras, and meditation. Something that speaks solely to my anxiety and overstimulated mind. I love practicing and moving the body in these ways; it helps move energy (stuck energy) and gives me the space for learning and being discipline- Giving back to yourself, making time for yourself, honoring yourself, and staying youthful through breathwork is a plus. I'm SO excited for this, I'll be joining virtually, and you can join too! It's something I've also been wanting to offer and experimented in one of our meditation events. Ok, are we also ready to bring those back!!?? I miss our little ANSOB community!

Night rituals with Activist,

ANSOB wouldn't be whole if I didn't bring you the best products for you to take home. It's a continuation of our treatments leaving you feel cared for. It's intentional, supportive, and my desire to grow our clean beauty collection is just as important as the treatments, another woven aspect to your experience. And I want to connect with you! Reply and let me know what you think about the new Green botanical body oil...which products are your favorite?? 🤗 I'd love to hear from you!

not too late for this one

Hope to see you soon,

Katie

Motherhood is a catalyst for spiritual growth,
as the act of mothering our children and re-mothering ourselves guides us towards our highest timeline, and into a deeper understanding of our Soul’s mission. The profound love we experience for our children opens us up to receive deeper spiritual truths and connections than any other pathway can.
💗

A few things I'd like to share that supported me & Sonnie

Vital Family Chiropractic (https://vitalhouston.com)
I’ve been seeing Dr. Whitley throughout my entire pregnancy. I admire their perspective on holistic care and nervous system wellness alongside chiropractic care. This group of women is so good at what they do and is so beneficial for our community. Our home visit is this week and Sonnie can’t wait to meet Dr.Whitley! Thank you so much Vital, having your support every week has helped tremendously as I navigated my 2nd pregnancy.

Conscious Coconut (https://consciouscoconut.com/blogs/news/3-reasons-why-coconut-oil-is-an-essential-for-nursing-mamas?_pos=5&_sid=e53cbb41e&_ss=r)
ANSOB’s healing, cold-pressed coconut oil used in every treatment, has been a ritual throughout my pregnancy. In Ayurveda medicine, coconut oil is vital for many practices, whether its an oil, water, or milk, it’s cooling & balancing properties is a preferred choice for overall wellbeing. For skin health, it’s a staple for moisturizing containing nourishing fatty acids and antioxidants help keep the skin hydrated while reducing inflammation, soothing many skin conditions. Safe for all too!

Tip- add to warm bath water to drench skin and hair, and use for abdominal massage- remember to move clockwise to promote digestion.

This Book (https://www.amazon.com/First-Forty-Days-Essential-Nourishing/dp/1617691836/ref=sr_1_1?dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.DakPOAU7HnskWKwHLJweBi-0_LB8Eb2hjbESVL2rVtsXD0ruGfjFk-iHYamhR7rqLczqnD0_6ry5vEMchvwgYlSgfQ8wo_7JPCm9LRhkdIrKCx4hgdazgPNGIVFH3ncGoYlijgTtDSqKo1jJ5BGaVRHibJF1OnMnOyIjPEu-52HyMdUioCqeIbNbR_MZX3R8asZ6wWWVLSklvYevNJktqkN8SjZg7W85ZKo3ypW2mBA.xCbZY3L8HSpWaLL1mT1aatCrUrYUqJtloGdJG5dlNlE&dib_tag=se&hvadid=713510687004&hvdev=c&hvexpln=67&hvlocphy=9027651&hvnetw=g&hvocijid=9955628419376453589--&hvqmt=e&hvrand=9955628419376453589&hvtargid=kwd-396650349589&hydadcr=22534_13730692&keywords=the+first+forty&mcid=0b24c15f34763117a64502fd7a073363&qid=1746886779&sr=8-1)
The first forty days
A reminder of how precious the season of pregnancy is and to nourish yourself with warm meals, daily self-care rituals & affirmations, but most importantly rest.

Postpartum self-care at its finest, once to two times/wk to revitalize your skin.

Adding a clay mask to your routine maintains a healthy skin cycle by exfoliating the dead skin. Check out HFORLOVE's (https://hforlove.com) new website and formulations for her gifting experience- a decadent cream, honey mask, and creamy soaps.
🫶

Followed by Daily Glow with no added fragrance, essential oils, or fillers of any kind, sensitive skin is nourished. Use with gua sha stone for depuffing and tension relief.

Australian Native Kakadu Plum: The highest natural source of Vitamin C, Kakadu Plum promotes collagen production and brightens the skin overnight, helping to even out skin tone and enhance radiance for a refreshed, luminous look.

A must for my pregnancy melasma- vitamin C is helpful for lightening dark spots.
