✨ A Season of Fullness & Transition ✨

With a grateful heart, I want to share a small update within Next Level Massage + Wellness.

At this time, I will no longer be accepting new clients FOR DEEP TISSUE. My cup is full — and I truly mean that in the most humbling and thankful way. Each of you who trusts me with your massage care, your healing, and your time… I carry that deeply. 🤍

As I continue to pour into those already established, I feel led to begin filling new cup — one that allows growth, support, and expansion within this space.

I’m grateful to have Tiffanie stepping up as part of this next chapter. She is here to welcome new clients into Next Level and help support and expedite care for established clients as well.

Tiffanie offers:
• Swedish Massage with presence
• Deep Tissue / Therapeutic Bodywork with custom pressure
• Cupping Therapy

If it has been some time since we’ve worked together you may be scheduled with Tiffanie. This allows me to stay present with those currently on my table, while still ensuring you are supported and cared for, while focusing on new therapeutic modalities to calm the nervous system for mental and emotional wellness.

If you’ve been looking to begin your wellness journey or need more flexibility in scheduling, she is a strong extension of the care and intention I hold here. 🌿

Thank you for allowing this space to grow in such an aligned and meaningful way.

🙏🏼
With gratitude always,
Next Level Massage + Wellness ✨

✨ Aloe & Myrrh — An Offering of Care ✨

Today in church, I was reminded of something that deeply moved me. What He went through for us and the care and preparation of His body after the cross.

Today’s sermon was on Luke 23 & 24 (if you want to take a look… 😉)

And as I sat with it, I realized…
Easter is having a new meaning to me as I continue growing and learning in my faith.

It brought me right back to why I created my Aloe & Myrrh Massage & Body Butter.

“Nicodemus… brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about a hundred pounds. Then they took the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen cloths with the spices…” — John 19:39–40

This moment wasn’t rushed.
It was intentional.
It was an act of honor, care, and preparation.

⸻

🌿 What this means in your session

Aloe & Myrrh is more than a massage butter.
It’s a reflection of:

• Gentle, intentional care of the body
• Being covered in peace and stillness
• A quiet moment of restoration

The aloe soothes and softens the skin, while myrrh brings a grounding, calming presence — creating space for the body to rest.

⸻

✨ Today, I was reminded…
Even in moments of sorrow, there was care.
Even in preparation, there was love.

And as my faith grows, I’m beginning to see these moments differently — not just as history, but as something deeply alive and meaningful… even in the work of my hands, and how our gifts can inspire others to know him. 😌🙏🏼

Happy Easter

✨ A Small Reminder with Eternal Meaning ✨

A client gave me this in the last week or two. I thought today was the perfect day to share it with you.

Just a nail…
But it represents so much more.

A reminder that love held Him there.
That grace was given freely.
That what was meant for suffering became the doorway to healing.

In this work, we can often be reminded that healing doesn’t just happen in the body…
It reaches deeper—into the heart, into the spirit.

And sometimes, it comes through the simplest moments—
A conversation, a presence…
Or even a small, ordinary object that carries extraordinary meaning.

“A single nail… a reminder that it was our sins that placed Him on the cross, but His love that chose to stay.”

I’ll be keeping this as a quiet reminder of what was done for us…
and the grace we’re invited to walk in daily; as I learn and walk with Him. 🙏🏼✝️

✨ Acts of Service ✨

There is something deeply meaningful about caring for another person in simple, intentional ways.

The new foot soak and foot washing service I have been working on was inspired by the heart of acts of service — offering rest, care, and renewal in a humble yet powerful way.

Soaking the feet in warm water, gently cleansing them, and preparing the body for massage may seem like a small act… but often it becomes a moment where people feel truly cared for.

To the clients that have donated their time (and feet 😊) say the experience feels surprisingly profound — almost like being served with honor rather than simply receiving a service. One client even shared that it reminded her of a “king’s washing.”

This act is about more than relaxation.
It’s about slowing down, creating space, and honoring the body through thoughtful care. And, it feels right…

From the warm epsom salt water to the oils used in your session — every detail is chosen with intention to help you feel restored in body, mind, and soul. 🌿✨

This will be available very soon! 🙌🏼

Thank you for letting me share this moment for others to see! ❤️🙏🏼✨

✨ Healing Assistance from the Earth ✨

I like to incorporate this into the work I do through massage therapy to add depth and meaningful intentions….

While therapeutic touch can help release tension, improve circulation, and calm the nervous system, I have highly love incorporating these beautiful little gifts that come from the earth itself.

Many of the oils and butters I use in session come directly from plants and seeds known for their nourishing and restorative qualities. Ingredients like frankincense, myrrh, copaiba, lavender, and helichrysum are valued for supporting the skin, encouraging relaxation, and helping the body settle into deeper restoration.

Alongside these essential oils, I work with rich, natural bases such as jojoba oil, and mango butter — each chosen for their ability to deeply nourish the skin, mimic the skins natural sebum- and while allowing smooth, intentional bodywork.

When these plant-based elements are combined with skilled touch and presence, they help create a space where the body can unwind, the mind can quiet, and the spirit can feel renewed.

It’s a gentle reminder that many of the tools that support our well-being were placed here for us long ago — growing from the earth itself. 🌿🕊️

Here I am mixing and experimenting with carrot root CO2 oil and pumpkin seed oil for my personal skin care routine at home.

✨ Preparation & Recovery Is Part of Training — And Massage Therapy Could Help✨

I’ve been seeing a slight increase in student athletes in my treatment room lately — and it’s truly an honor to be a part of their journey.

We often teach young athletes to:
Push harder.
Train longer.
Compete stronger.

But performance isn’t just built in practice.

It’s built in preparation… and in recovery.

At Next Level, I offer sports- therapeutic massage tailored specifically to the season and the athlete.

🔹 Pre-Event Massage
Focused, stimulating, and circulation-boosting.
Designed to warm the tissue, improve range of motion, and mentally prepare the athlete before competition.

🔹 Post-Event Massage
Slower, restorative work to support muscle recovery, decrease soreness, and calm the nervous system after intense output. Recommended 24-48 hours after the event.

And in between?
Maintenance sessions that keep the body moving well and help prevent overuse injuries in growing athletes.

Because student athletes aren’t just muscles and joints. They’re navigating school stress, performance pressure, growth spurts, and long practice schedules.

Supporting the whole athlete means:
✔️ Strengthening performance
✔️ Supporting longevity
✔️ Teaching recovery early
✔️ Calming the nervous system
✔️ Building body awareness

Recovery is not weakness.
Preparation is not optional.
They are part of the training plan.

Strong bodies.
Focused minds.
Confident athletes. 💪✨

Congratulations to Peyton as she placed 4th this past Saturday at the regional district 3 wrestling tournament. This means she earned her place in the state championship tournament in Hershey! I had the pleasure of meeting her and her father last week to work out a tight area in her shoulder causing her some discomfort during her practices. After some focused shoulder work, a notable tissue tension change was palpable, and a face of relief. (Permission to post and share by her mother) I look forward to our next session and hearing all about your success! 🙏🏼

✨ A Sweet Moment in the Room Today ✨

My last client today shared something beautiful with me.

She came in and began telling me about what she had been reading on Spikenard — its history, its meaning, its presence in Scripture. As she was talking, I could feel myself getting excited… because I have pure Spikenard here in the office.

I asked her, “Would you like to smell it?”

I handed her the bottle. We both inhaled that deep, earthy, sacred aroma. And watching her connect what she had read… to what she could now smell… was a really cool moment.

Then she said something that made my heart leap.

She shared that the Spikenard was held in an alabaster jar, and when she read Alabaster- she thought of me… 🥹 (Maybe because I have alabaster salt doves in the room?)

And I just smiled.

Because recently, I made a mango butter blend called ✨ Alabaster’s Jar ✨ — infused with Spikenard and Rose essential oil. A blend I created with devotional intention. A blend meant to honor that very story.

We opened the jar.
We smelled it together.
And without hesitation, she chose that massage medium for her session.

The room was right.
The music was right.
The timing was right.

Afterward, we both felt it — that gentle awareness that something deeper was behind today’s session. Like the pieces were already arranged before we ever stepped into the room.

I’m always humbled when clients share what they’re learning, reading, and reflecting on. Moments like this remind me that this work is more than technique. More than pressure. More than routine.

Sometimes it feels divinely threaded.

Thank you for trusting me with your stories.
Thank you for letting me share mine.

✨ Warm Bamboo — A Therapeutic Add-On Designed to Go Deeper ✨

There’s something uniquely grounding about warmth…

Warm Bamboo is now available as an add-on to your massage session — a therapeutic tool that uses smooth, heated bamboo stones to gently heat and warm the tissue in preparation for massage techniques.

The warmth helps soften tight tissue.
The bamboo allows for slow, intentional pressure.
The rhythm creates a deeper sense of release without feeling overwhelming.

Warm Bamboo can:
• Encourage circulation through vasodilation
• Help ease stubborn tension
• Allow muscles to relax more efficiently
• Create a steady, calming pressure experience

✨ This will be offered as a complimentary focused spot treatment or an add on to a full body relaxation massage for $15.

Every add-on at Next Level is chosen with intention — to support the nervous system, encourage restoration, and meet you exactly where you are in your healing journey.

If you’ve been carrying stress in your shoulders, hips, or back, this may be the deeper exhale your body has been waiting for. 🌿

We hope you enjoy! 🙏🏼

✨ God-Given Gifts ✨

I’ve been thinking about this concept lately…

God gives each of us gifts.
But the gift is rarely for the one who carries it.

An apple tree bears fruit it will never taste.
It doesn’t know how sweet the apple is.
It simply produces what it was created to produce.

And the sweetness?
That is for someone else. 🍎

The same is true for us.

My gift is massage therapy.
A love for the muscular system.
A growing fascination for the skin and the powerful sensory messages it sends to the brain.
A desire to incorporate handcrafted botanicals, intentional aromatherapy, and massage preparation services — like warm herbal foot soaks and grounding mud treatments (yes… spoiler 😉).

But, I will never know how my own massages feel.
I will never experience the relief you feel in your shoulders, the softening of your breath, and the quieting of your mind.

That sweetness —
that restoration —
that exhale —

That is not my gift.
It is yours. 🙏🏼

God allows me to serve.
You receive the fruit.

And that is a beautiful exchange.

✨ Why I Stepped Away from Pump Bottles ✨

I made a quiet but meaningful shift in my practice over the year— moving away from commercial massage lotions in plastic pump bottles and returning to hand-crafted massage butters, scooped slowly by hand.

This wasn’t about being trendy.
It was about intention.

Pump bottles encourage speed. One press, one motion, move on. But healing work — real, present, body-honoring work — isn’t meant to be rushed.

Manually scooping the butter naturally slows me down. It invites a pause. A breath. A moment to prepare.

The butter is held in ceramic vessels, not plastic. Earthy. Grounded. Reusable. Reverent.
It transforms that part of the session into a preparation, not a transaction.
An intention, not a quick service.

Because the body knows the difference, and so does the soul. 🌿

✨ A Foot Soak Rooted in Honor & Humility ✨

As requests for ionic foot baths have come in, I’ve been listening closely—not just to trends, but to the heart behind the request. And what keeps guiding me is the foundation of Next Level Massage + Wellness: intention, presence, and care that honors both body and spirit.

This offering is inspired by the biblical practice of foot washing—an act once reserved for servants, yet chosen by Jesus as a sacred expression of humility, love, and service.

Here’s how this experience unfolds:

Your feet are placed into a warm, herbal and epsome salt soak, inviting the nervous system to soften and the body to settle. From there, a gentle calf and foot prep scrub is applied, awakening circulation and preparing the tissues for deeper work.

The experience is completed with our Spikenard & Rose massage butter, intentionally chosen to honor the historical and spiritual significance of anointing—simple, pure, and reverent. Spikenard and rose, precious and costly, offered fully and without reserve.

This is not a detox promise.
This is not mechanical.

It is service.
It is presence.
It is being cared for from the ground up.

Sometimes the most profound healing doesn’t come from what we add or remove—but from being lovingly tended to, just as we are. 🤍
