🌬️ Late February in Michigan… what a ride.

We just enjoyed temps up to 60°F, only to be greeted by more snow and freezing temps this weekend. Our bodies notice these swings, and winter tension can really stick around if we’re not intentional.

Common late-winter patterns I’m seeing right now:

• Deep neck + shoulder guarding from fluctuating temps
• Low back fatigue from winter driving & reduced movement
• Hip stiffness from less outdoor activity
• Nervous system burnout from long stretches of gray days

🗓 Availability This Week
✔️ Monday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday & Sunday
❌ Closed Tuesday & Friday

🔥 Hot stones available upon request... they hit different this time of year.

⚠️ Please use your best judgment with winter travel. Same-day cancellations (24 hours or less) are subject to the cancellation fee.

💆‍♀️ Whether you’re managing winter tension, recovering from an injury, or just need intentional time to recalibrate… this is your invitation.

🌬️ Late February in Michigan hits different.

The holidays are long gone. The snow feels heavier. The gray feels grayer. And our bodies? They’re carrying weeks of cold-weather tension.
This is the part of winter where stiffness settles in and energy dips... and if we’re not intentional, it just lingers.

Common mid-winter patterns I’m seeing right now: • Deep neck + shoulder guarding from weeks of bracing against the cold
• Low back fatigue from winter driving and reduced movement
• Hip stiffness from less outdoor activity
• Nervous system burnout from long stretches of gray days

🗓 Availability This Week
✔️ Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday
❌ Closed Tuesday & Saturday

We’re officially in the second half of February... which makes this the perfect time for a reset before we roll into March.

🌟 CLIENT LOVE THURSDAY 🌟

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“She truly goes above and beyond every session. You can tell she genuinely cares about your needs and pays close attention to what your body is telling her. What I appreciate most is how she takes time to educate you when she finds areas that need extra care, so you leave not only feeling better but understanding how to support your own recovery too. Highly recommend.”

✨ Behind the scenes:
This is exactly how I approach every session... results-focused, intentional, and attentive.

Massage isn’t just about temporary relief. It’s about understanding patterns, addressing the root of tension, and giving you tools to support your body between appointments.

When clients leave feeling better and more informed, that’s a win.

I’m incredibly grateful for the trust my clients place in me and honored to support their recovery journey.

📅 Availability update:
I still have openings this Friday and Sunday for anyone needing tension relief, injury recovery support, or a full reset before the week ahead.

❄️ Michigan winter has a way of asking more from our bodies than we realize.

Cold mornings, tense driving, icy sidewalks, and muscles that never quite warm up… it all adds up fast. This season is a good reminder that self-care isn’t indulgent... it’s maintenance.

Common winter stressors I’m seeing:
• Neck and shoulder tension from cold, guarded muscles
• Low back and hip stiffness from winter driving
• Lingering aches from slips or near-falls
• Hand and wrist tension from shoveling and gripping

🗓 Lower Peninsula Massage Therapy Availability This Week
✔️ Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday & Sunday
❌ Closed Wednesday & Saturday

💙 Show yourself some love this season.
Saturday is Valentine’s Day... I’ll be off the table, but there’s still plenty of availability before and after to take care of you.

🔥 Hot stones available upon request

⚠️ Please use your best judgment with winter travel. Same-day cancellations (24 hours or less) are subject to the cancellation fee.

💆‍♀️ Whether you’re managing winter tension, recovering from an injury, or just need space to reset, this could be the perfect week to get back on the table.

❄️ This feels like the first real winter in a while in Michigan.

Slower speeds, people playing Mario Kart in the lanes, leaving an extra 30 minutes early to wipe off the car and shovel the driveway… just to do it all over again tomorrow.

All that winter hustle can take a toll on the body:
• Shoulder and neck tension from shoveling and slipping on icy driveways
• Slip-and-fall injuries... even minor falls can cause lingering stiffness or pain
• Lower back and hip strain from driving in cold, tense muscles
• Tight hands and wrists from constantly gripping shovels or steering wheels

🗓 Lower Peninsula Massage Therapy Availability This Week
✔️ Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday & Sunday
❌ Closed Tuesday & Friday

🔥 Hot stones available upon request
⚠️ Use your best judgment with winter travel. Same-day cancellations (24 hours or less) are subject to the cancellation fee.

💆‍♀️ Whether you’re recovering from a winter slip, loosening tight shoulders from shoveling, or just want to warm up and restore comfort, this might be the perfect week to get back on the table.

🌟 CLIENT LOVE MONDAY 🌟

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“Reasonable price. Knowledge and expertise keep me coming back. I started with Cheryl (cupping and stretching) to relieve lower back spasms. I've continued with cupping and massage at least once a month to keep myself healthy. This is just
as important as exercise and healthy foods.”

✨ Behind the scenes:

Stories like this are exactly why I do what I do. Preventative care isn’t a luxury... it’s an important part of staying healthy, mobile, and resilient. I’m grateful to support clients who prioritize their well-being and trust me with their care journey.

Consistency truly makes a difference, and it’s an honor to be part of that process.

❄️ Staying Warm, Staying Consistent, and Staying Safe This Week

With the extreme cold settling in... and forecasts showing it may intensify next week... many of us are feeling it in our bodies:
tighter muscles,
stiffer joints,
and deeper tension that’s harder to shake.

Despite the weather, I will still be in the studio and available for sessions this week.

Massage can be especially supportive during cold weather, helping improve circulation, reduce tension, and restore comfort when your body feels locked up from the cold.

🗓️ Lower Peninsula Massage Therapy Availability This Week
✔️ Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday
❌ Closed Monday & Sunday

⚠️ Weather + Cancellation Reminder

Your safety always comes first. If road conditions are unsafe, please use your best judgment. If you need to cancel due to weather or unexpected circumstances, I ask for as much notice as possible.

• Cancellations made 24 hours or less before your appointment are considered same-day cancellations and are subject to the cancellation fee.

💡 Why the cancellation policy matters
When a session is booked, that time is reserved exclusively for you. Late cancellations often leave openings that can’t be filled, which directly impacts a small business that relies on scheduled sessions to remain sustainable.
This policy helps protect the time, energy, and structure required to provide focused, high-quality therapeutic care for every client.

🔥 Hot Stone Option Available
Hot stones are available upon request.
If you’d like hot stones added to your session, please include a note when booking or send a message ahead of your appointment so I can prepare them to the proper temperature before your session.

💆‍♀️ Session Options
• 60-minute focused work
• 75-minute focused + expanded work
• 90-minute most body / full body
• 120-minute full body with additional focus areas

No tipping • No add-ons • Just intentional, therapeutic care

📅 Book Your Session

If your body has been feeling extra tight, achy, or guarded from the cold… this week might be the perfect time to warm up on the table.

Earthy, rich, and deeply grounding… Patchouli is a powerful oil for slowing down, reconnecting, and restoring balance.
