🎃🧙‍♀️🌟

A Happy and Blessed Samhain/Halloween to all of you!

Many, including myself, might associate this day with candy and costumes, but amongst a multitude of cultures, this is a day to honor those who have passed on to the other world.

In our home, we choose to keep an "alter of ancestors" up year round, but on this day their energy feels especially palpable.

Wishing all of you a feeling of peace and a gentle knowing that, although we may have loved ones who have moved on from this realm, they will forever remain in our hearts and our cellular memory. We are all connected.

🙏🧡

It might be dreary outside, but it sure is cozy on the Massage table. ☺️

Oh, sweet nostalgia...

Reminiscing today on my time spent in Big Sur, CA (2016) at the Esalen Institute, studying the Esalen approach to Massage. This technique focuses on long, broad strokes, full client-centered intentionality, and deep human connection, as opposed to some massage applications that might seem more "medical" in their therapeutic approach.

I love that there is a never ending plethora of information to absorb in the Massage world!

What are some of your favorite Massage styles?

In times of great sadness, helplessness, frustration, and pain, one tool that lives with me everywhere, anytime, no matter the situation, is my breath. And the same is true for you.

The breath is the bridge that connects body with spirit; it's also the one function in our bodies that, although it's taking place at all times without our even being cognizant of it, we have full capability of manipulating it and using it to our advantage, which can help tap into the parasympathetic nervous system, thus calming us when we're overstimulated, angry, and feeling like punching someone in the throat. 😜

Finish reading this, put your phone down and try a 3 count breath, which goes like this...

Inhale fully.
Exhale completely.
Inhale a 3rd of your lungs' capacity
Pause
Inhale another third
Pause
Inhale filling the lungs all the way up
Pause
Exhale all your air
Repeat 10 times.

I dare you to not feel more relaxed after completing this exercise.

Sending love to all you wondrous humans out there.
💞

🎺 We've got an announcement to make, Lovers of all things Self-Care! 🎺

We all know that change is the one true constant, right?
Well, we would like to announce that the Ocracoke Wellness Collective is formally dissolving, and we are parting ways. 🙏❤️

Don't panic! We will all still be on the island offering our gifts, just with some slight changes. 😁

Brooke has officially expanded and moved her Sound practice to a new, beautiful space on Creek Rd, and finding her in her shop, Little Rituals, is a great way to inquire about booking. We couldn't be more ecstatic for our Brooke, as she now has more room to stash all of her tools to create an experience that is so deeply moving for her clients.

Jess will still be traveling to the island weekly and offering massage at the Castle, but she will be doing so in her own private practice, so keep your eyes peeled for that. If you've not yet received a massage from Jess, get the lead out! She is awesome! 😃

And as for me, Kate... In the words of the great Bob Dylan, I ain't goin' nowhere. 😜 For those that follow this page primarily for massage and spa treatment offerings, I'll be changing the name to "Ocracoke Massage & Wellness". And my hope is to begin offering some new and exciting bodywork/spa treatment packages as we transition into fall/winter months. AND, I will definitely still be hosting/facilitating work with guest therapists throughout the season, for those who are seeking couples' sessions.

I just would like to thank every one of you who have supported us throughout our years here. Speaking for the rest of my girls, we are truly honored to serve you all, and although we'll now be "doing our own thing", the Wellness Collective will always have a special place in our collective heart.

Blessings and Love
❤️
