“Frankie-Baby” can make anyone sound good.

Here’s my addition to his “Jingle Bells”, in case you are needing something to give you an extra kick today.

While I like to sing in the car… this is the example as to why I am not on stage. 😉

It my version of ‘Kiki Karaoke’. 🎶

Enjoy and Merry Christmas to you and yours! 🎄

It’s the holiday season again, and 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐠𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬, you are always welcome to print this picture and add a token of your love or thanks, to your favorite person’s envelope.

I’ve created it to encourage the recipient to use it at our office (𝘪𝘧 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘸𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘢 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘦). But, this also allows them to use their gift elsewhere, if they have another favorite place they prefer to go.

Merry Christmas!🎄

I am asking for your help. 🙏

If you know me personally, you know we’ve been making tracks over the past year-plus, selling my late father’s blade collection and they continue to slowly disappear.

Please pass the links onto your friends, family and colleagues… it doesn’t have to just be in Texas. 👉 We have sold all over the USA, and as far away as France.

For all links:
(Scroll past the initial info on these pages, to see the items… and click through the embedded menu, to go to the additional pages.)

We’ve still got about 6 pages of blades, which we’re selling via PayPal Goods & Services.

I keep a few sold items up on the lower portions of the pages, so people know that we really are selling the collection. And, I remove those sold rectangles intermittently, so there is less clutter.

Here’s how the pages go:

• Page 1: Cold Steel (mainly folding), Anzas (fixed), Frost (boot knives) Argentinian, Thai.

• Swords: mainly Filipino & Thai, a few Ontario Knife Company, some various gladiator style, and a chopper from El Salvador.

• Khukuris - all Himalayan Imports swords, *very large* knives and khukuris.

• Arizona Custom Knives Consignment: Items listed and linked to, which are on consignment at Arizona Knife Company (these are very good condition and mainly Cold Steel).

I just finished *part one* of our insurance for the new year (many of ya’ll know this is the time of year I do it, because I don’t get a lot of phone calls or have other business to do over Thanksgiving).

I’ll get part two done in the coming days/week.

👉 While I am here, I’d like to say, I am very thankful for patients, clients, friends, family, those who have held us in their hearts this year… and the ACA. As a small business owner, we’d be toast without it.

Have a great day and I’ll see everyone soon! ❤️🍂🍁

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐬 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐠𝐨𝐨𝐝. —- 𝐓𝐫𝐮𝐬𝐭.

A Friendswood client reached out to me, wanting to refer her nephew to my Houston location (𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘩𝘦 𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘧𝘢𝘳 𝘞𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘏𝘰𝘶𝘴𝘵𝘰𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘢𝘴𝘯’𝘵 𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘪𝘧 𝘩𝘦 𝘸𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘸𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘥𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘨, 𝘵𝘰 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘧𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘦 𝘪𝘴, 𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘎𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘢).

But, she felt comfortable enough to ask if I knew anyone who was good at their work, in his area.

That is the kind of trust I strive to build in my practice. ❤️

It is more important to me, to help my patients and clients get the care they want and/or need… than to try to only keep you in my practice, without passing on useful info that could possibly help you.

That includes:

• supporting my clients (𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴) in their choice to see another massage therapist or chiropractor, if my days, hours, location or style of practice isn’t what is needed.

• also, providing references to others who may be a better fit *or* for adjunct care (𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘪𝘯𝘤𝘭𝘶𝘥𝘦𝘴 𝘣𝘶𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘪𝘤𝘪𝘢𝘯𝘴, 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘢𝘱𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘴, 𝘮𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘱𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘳𝘴, 𝘦𝘵𝘤.) when needed.

I gave her two references for therapists I know. 👍

In the end, he has decided he wants to travel to the Houston office. And, I will do my best to help him. 😌

It is a terribly complicated case, which includes three years of severe pain, a rib resection surgery, failed chiropractic care, PT sessions with minimal results and Airrosti sessions which haven’t lasted.

At this point, he is seeking advanced massage therapy and someone who can spend time providing site-specific work. It’s a big portion of my practice.

I can’t guarantee I will be the one to make the difference. But, I will certainly do my best, with the knowledge and experience I have. *care*

I hope to report back in a few months, that this gentleman is on his way to a better life and some beneficial pain reduction.

Thank you for the referral, and your trust. I appreciate you. ❤️

It’s time to change your Daylight Saving clocks… 🙂

10/30/2025: Allrighty! It’s taken a bit of effort, but I’ve been able to get all of my cancelled/wait-list appointments back in the schedule, and have left messages for a few who haven’t made it back in the books yet.👍

Below is the roughly ¾ schedule I’ll be working until approximately mid-December.

Please call if you want to come in. I am currently booked out by about 2 weeks.

👉 PS: If you know me.. you know there may be an “-ish” on some of these numbers. 😉
