Today we’re celebrating Michael and wishing him a very happy birthday 💜

Michael is one of those practitioners who brings a steady, grounding presence into every session. His work is thoughtful, attentive, and deeply supportive—especially for clients looking to slow down, release tension, and feel more at ease in their bodies. He has a natural ability to meet people where they are and create space for real rest and recovery.

Beyond his technical skill, Michael’s calm demeanor and genuine care make him a trusted part of many clients’ regular wellness routines. We’re so grateful for the way he shows up for this work and for the people who walk through our doors.

Please join us in wishing Michael a wonderful birthday and a year filled with ease, health, and good moments both on and off the table.

Winter asks a lot from the body 💜

Between colder temperatures, less movement, heavier foods, and shorter days, it’s common to feel more sluggish or inflamed this time of year. The lymphatic system plays an important role in helping the body manage fluid balance, immune function, and overall circulation—and in winter, it often benefits from a little extra support.

Lymphatic massage is a gentle, purposeful form of bodywork that encourages healthy flow without forcing the body to “detox.” Clients often notice reduced puffiness, a lighter feeling in the body, and a greater sense of ease afterward.

This kind of care pairs beautifully with winter routines: warmth, consistency, rest, and nourishment. It’s not about pushing your system—it’s about supporting it.

Today we’re wishing a very happy birthday to Caitryn Byrka 💜

Caitryn brings a thoughtful, grounded presence to her work and a deep appreciation for how massage supports people through real life—especially when it comes to chronic pain, recovery, and the long road back to feeling like yourself again. After stepping away from massage for a period of time, she returned to the work with fresh perspective and a renewed respect for the role consistent care plays in quality of life.

Her sessions are informed by both experience and empathy. Caitryn understands firsthand how important it is to feel listened to, supported, and met where you are, and that shows in the way she works with clients.

We’re so glad to have her as part of the Little Bird Wellness team (at both offices!) and look forward to watching her practice continue to grow. Please join us in wishing Caitryn a wonderful birthday and a great year ahead.

This weekend, Little Bird Wellness was featured on New England Perspective on FOX61, and we’re feeling incredibly grateful 💜

The segment focused on holistic health and the importance of personalized, whole-person care—something that’s at the heart of everything we do. It was an opportunity to talk about supporting the body through stress, seasonal shifts, and everyday life with thoughtful, integrative care rather than quick fixes.

We’re thankful for the chance to represent this work and to share the message that healing doesn’t have to be rushed or one-size-fits-all. If you caught the episode, thank you for tuning in—and if not, we’ll be sharing the link so you can watch when it’s convenient.

As always, we appreciate this community and the trust you place in us. It truly means everything.

Winter has a way of showing us where we’re out of rhythm 💜

In Ayurveda, this time of year is considered vata season—cold, dry, and changeable. When vata is out of balance, you might notice things like dry skin, stiffness, restless sleep, scattered energy, or feeling more anxious than usual.

The antidote isn’t doing more. It’s doing things more consistently and with intention.

Winter vata support often looks like:
~Warm, nourishing meals
~Regular routines (especially sleep and meals)
~Gentle movement and bodywork
~Plenty of rest and grounding touch

This season invites us to slow down, warm up, and create steadiness where the world feels a little sharp around the edges. Supporting vata now helps you feel more settled—not just in winter, but as you move toward spring.

After the holidays, many people notice that their bodies feel a little heavier, puffier, or slower to bounce back 💜

That’s where lymphatic massage can be especially supportive. This gentle, intentional style of bodywork helps encourage healthy lymph flow, which plays a key role in immune support, fluid balance, and the body’s natural clearing processes.

In winter—especially after a season of rich food, disrupted routines, and extra stress—lymphatic work can help your system feel more supported and less overwhelmed. Clients often describe feeling lighter, clearer, and more at ease afterward.

January is a beautiful time for this kind of care. Not to force a reset, but to help your body do what it already knows how to do—just with a little extra support.

Today we’re celebrating Olivia and two years of having her as part of the Little Bird Wellness team 💜

Before joining us, Olivia already had a thriving massage practice of her own—and we feel incredibly lucky that she chose to bring her skill, experience, and heart into this space. Her background working closely with chiropractic patients and physical therapists gives her a deep understanding of the healing process, especially for clients recovering from injuries, surgeries, or accidents.

Olivia’s work is thoughtful, effective, and grounded in care. She has a particular love for deep tissue massage and supporting the body through real, lasting change—whether that’s breaking down scar tissue, restoring movement, or helping clients feel strong and confident again. She’s also worked with professional athletes and understands what it means to support performance as well as recovery.

What stands out most, though, is her passion. You can feel it in her sessions. Olivia shows up with the intention to truly help people heal—and she continues to build on that by expanding her skills and education to better serve our community.

We’re so grateful for you, Olivia. Thank you for all that you bring to Little Bird Wellness and to the people who trust you with their care.

Happy New Year 💜

January doesn’t ask us to rush. It invites us to soften, to settle back into rhythm, and to listen a little more closely to what our bodies need after a full season of giving and doing.

At Little Bird Wellness, we think of this time as a return—not a reinvention.
A return to routine that feels supportive.
A return to nourishment that steadies your energy.
A return to care that meets you exactly where you are.

As we begin this next trip around the sun, know that you don’t have to overhaul your life to feel better in your body. Small, seasonal shifts go a long way—and we’re here to support you every step of the way.

Here’s to a calm, grounded start to the year. We’re so glad you’re here.

The last day of the year always carries a certain tenderness — a mix of gratitude, fatigue, hope, and everything in between. Whether this year felt like a steady climb, a whirlwind, or something quietly transformative, tonight invites a gentle pause.

Before we cross into a new year, take a moment to notice what supported you…
what softened you…
what you learned about your body, your boundaries, your needs.

There’s no requirement to reinvent yourself tomorrow.
You don’t have to have a word, a plan, or a resolution.
You’re allowed to simply arrive.

Thank you for letting us care for you this year — for trusting our hands, our space, and our team with your healing. It’s an honor we never take lightly.

Wishing you a peaceful New Year’s Eve and a soft beginning to the year ahead. 💜

As we settle deeper into early winter, many people start to feel the classic signs of vata season — dryness, flakiness, sensitivity, and that feeling of your skin being just a little more “delicate” than usual. The cold outside and the dry heat inside can make it hard for your skin to stay balanced.

Our Ayurvedic Elements Facial (Vata) is designed specifically for this time of year. It’s warm, grounding, and deeply hydrating, using nourishing botanicals and slow, intentional movements to help your skin feel soothed and replenished.

This treatment focuses on:
~restoring moisture
~calming irritation
~strengthening the skin barrier
~bringing a sense of softness back to your complexion

It’s a beautiful option if your skin feels tight, sensitive, or easily overwhelmed by the cold. And if you’ve been craving something that feels both comforting and therapeutic, this fits the season perfectly.

Our esthetics team would love to support you through the winter transition. 💜

Winter has a way of slowing everything down — our energy, our motivation, even the way our joints feel when we get out of bed. And while this season naturally asks for more rest, most bodies still feel better with a little movement woven into the week.

Our new blog post explores what winter movement can look like, especially when the cold makes it harder to get started. No pressure, no intense routines — just simple ways to stay connected to your body, indoors or out, without fighting the season you’re in.

We’re sharing:
~gentle movement ideas for low-energy days
~cozy indoor options that don’t require equipment
~outdoor ideas for when the fresh air actually feels good
~the nervous-system benefits of slow, steady activity
~why “a little” truly does go a long way in winter

If you’ve been wanting to move but not sure where to begin, this post might help you find something that feels doable — and kind.

You can read it now on the blog. 💜

Late December is peak vata season — the time of year when the cold, dry air outside and the dry heat inside can leave your skin and nervous system feeling a little unsettled.

If you’ve been craving warmth, heavier meals, quiet mornings, or extra moisture on your skin… that’s your body asking for grounding.

A few gentle supports that can make this week feel easier:

~add a little extra oil to your routine (on your face or even your shins)
~choose warm, cooked meals over cold ones
~drink something warm before you start your day
~take a slower walk or stretch to bring your body back into itself
~rest when the sun goes down — the early darkness is there for a reason

Your body is doing its best to stay balanced in the season. A little nourishment and warmth go a long way right now. 💜
