Amanda Timmers has 7 years experience as a licensed massage therapist in Madison, Wisconsin. They are dedicated to creating a safe and inclusive massage space for people of all genders, sexualities, abilities, sizes, and neurotypes. Amanda loves to do therapeutic body work including deep tissue massage, fascial work, cupping, accupressure and trigger point therapy, and hot stones. While their style can include deep and sometimes challenging work, they strive to cooperate with the nervous system, tailoring each session to what both the brain and body need. Client communication and consent is at the center of this practice. Amanda is also certified in myofascial lymphatic drainage, a very gentle technique that helps a great deal with surgery recovery, edema, allergies and more. When Amanda isn’t doing bodywork, they can be found in the woods hunting for mushrooms and edible weeds, making art, or watching Steven Universe.

Here is a small joy amidst your doom scroll πŸ₯°

Rainbow hour at AYA (around 3 to 4:30pm on sunny days this time of year) is the most magical thing. I'm obsessed.

My neurodivergent brain doesn't dip into meditation mode when I'm working. There's 2 imaginary conversations, a song, and some kind of philisophical tangent, along with the ever present "ooh, this person's shoulder is so interesting, what does it want from me today?"

Sometimes there's "what should I think about right now? This? No. This? No. This? No." Like I'm the Mars Pathfinder crashing out trying to prioritize the tracklist.

Then it's rainbow hour. I'm watching the colors move across the room with the sun. They fade into pastels when a cloud passes by. Sometimes the rainbows intersect and get a little hit of cyan and magenta. I'm thinking about color theory and the planet moving through space and the inherent magic of existence, I'm ~finding gratitude~

You guys it just hits right okay, best visual stim ever, A+, come see me at rainbow hour

In other news.. that burnout bedrot era that I was talking about in my last post has officially landed upon me πŸ₯³ I am at home resting with a gnarly cold. This feels more like getting sick on opening night rather than after strike πŸ˜… Lots of spruce and sumac tea for me. I'll be in contact with those of you who have appointments coming up.

Take care of yourselves!

Nearly there! Here are some preview pictures of the new home of As You Are πŸ’–πŸ’œπŸ’–

I've been a jumpy ball of anxiety for weeks, but honestly the terror is propelling me through. I am grateful to have a drive, even if it's a stress drive. I will be EXTRA grateful when I feel comfortable enough in my work flow at the new space that I feel "allowed" to have my burnout bed rot season. But for now... GO GO GO! do ALL THE THINGS! think ALL THE THINGS!

Also, the website is coming soon!!! Promise! Please dm me if you would like to be my beta πŸ€£πŸ˜… I want to make sure my website is legible, accessible, etc.

Thanks so much, everyone! This is gonna be SO GREAT LET'S GO
