We had to say goodbye to Roxy Friday afternoon. I think she knew I knew. She’d look at me with those big beautiful eyes and say “Mumma, I don’t feel good.” Oh those eyes! The wisdom and understanding and unconditional love that came from those eyes of hers. Roxy was battling kidney disease, which only continues to progress. She was living everyday like she had the flu or feeling hungover. And she gave it her absolute everything to really be here with us while she was. When she had decided she’d given it her all, that was it, and she let us know by stopping eating and drinking last Tuesday. She was uncomfortable and tired. Oh my sweet sweet girl. It pains me to think about how much she rallied to wait for the perfect time to say goodbye. Such a beautiful gift she gave us. We tried a couple rounds of appetite stimulant, but we could tell she was only eating because of the drugs, and was still very uncomfortable. She lost that vigor she had for eating.
Roxy had the best last day. She got to say goodbye to family members and we brought her to the beach one last time. She dug herself a cool little bed in the sand and let us snuggle with her. A lot of people talk about that second wind a pet can get right before the end, and I truly believe that is their gift to us. To help us remember them that way. We had a caring and empathetic veterinarian come to our home and we said our final goodbye as Roxy snored off to her final sleep in the backyard.
All those little sounds that make you lose your breath because it sounds like her. The daily rhythms she used to be fully a part of. My every single work day. Roxy was a very special girl that really did almost everything with us. I laugh at how we would arrive at places, realizing she was with us, and be like… “she can come, right?” She came to pick out the new kitchen, she came to do our taxes.. it’s comical thinking about all the things she’d attend as an extension of Derek and I. Roxy has been with me basically all day since I changed career paths and went back to school in 2018. Helping guide me back to health. When I opened up the massage studio she was my instant assistant and coworker. Then best I could ever ask for!
Her perky happy pigtails.
Her eyes full of understanding and wisdom.
Her silky smooth fur.
Her white flag of a tail blowing in the breeze.
Her elegance.
Her royalty.
Her zoomies, full extension but just hovering over the ground.
Her little grumble asking to share food.
Her front paw tipped out to the side.
Her little elf feet.
The jingle of her necklace.
The camping, the hikes.
The beauty she brought to our lives.

Oh my sweet girl. My sweet sweet girl. My angel baby sweetie baby girl. I miss you so much. I love you. Thank you.

Many of you know and love this big kuala foot fern from my studio… well, she has a new home in my new home! At one point she got too big and I had to split her up. She was getting to that point again, but instead of splitting her, I moved her to my house. I brought the smaller fern from splitting once before to the massage studio. It’s much much smaller! And looks kind of out of place. But hopefully she will love it there as much as this one did and grow to be just as big! I also hope this big one stays very happy in her new home.

My husband got. A haircut last night and said that the new barber he tried didn’t small talk. And he was talking about how exhausting it must be to make small talk with customers and that it drained him when he used to work in retail. Then he asked if I felt that way and my response was, genuinely no! I really like hearing about my client’s lives and how they’ve been feeling. I usually wish we had more time to just catch up… and for that reason I go over time frequently. 😅 But as I thought about it more I realized that when a client comes in it might be the only or one of the few times that month they’re slowing down for a moment to tune in to how they’re actually feeling instead of being distracted by the hustle of life. Or maybe taking a moment to listen to their body when it’s quiet instead of when it’s screaming at them in discomfort.
What a gift in itself! We need more of those moments in today’s fast paced world. And real, in person connection with human people. A healing touch, a comforting embrace, the joy of friendship and community.

I’ve been on maternity leave since May with this little bundle of JOY! Von Micheal was born June 3rd at home, unassisted. Just my baby doing amazing work to get himself out and into this world, myself listening to his cues and what he needed from my body, and my amazing husband who supported us every step of the process; physically, emotionally, psychologically… birth is a TRIP!

Birthing this way is called and

The body is a Divine design, created *for* LIFE! Superior to anything humans can design.

I’m looking forward to sharing more of my story through this process as I feel compelled (and when I can find the time! 🤪) For now I’ve been enjoying *BECOMING a mother* 🩵

Hip pain? Low back pain? Foot pain?!

Sometimes it can be a hip that’s hiked up into the torso - making a leg fall shorter than the other. Walking like that throws the back off and wears on the joints and spine.

Key points to check:
Where the thigh meets the gluteals.
Mid back tugging the hip up.

Try some self massage and stretching through these regions!

Trust me, I love when a service based business has online booking too. Makes things so much easier.

But I have to put a hold on the online booking for now. My books have filled beyond the 90 day span, and I’m not comfortable scheduling past that point at this time.

This is a great problem to have as a small business owner and a one woman show 💃🏼 And is something I’m choosing to celebrate and hope you can do the same with me!

If you’re looking to change a current appointment or want to inquire about booking something please reach out directly! 🤗
(I prefer text 📱😉)

Had a client this week say “Ooo, that’s a new one! Did you make this move up?” during her treatment. 😅
I love it! And maybe? Probably! We’re all one of a kind. 🤸🏼‍♀️
It wasn’t what’s pictured here… I don’t have a photo of it but it was some chest opener massage/stretch combo.
