Spring is finally here, and while everyone is busy clearing out closets, garages, and everything in between, it’s easy to forget about taking care of yourself too.

This season, I want to change that.

For the entire month of April, if you’re a new client, you’ll receive $25 off your first massage. No catch, just a chance to reset, recharge, and start feeling better in your body.

And for those of you who have already trusted me with your care, I appreciate you more than you know. If you refer someone in, you’ll get $15 off your next session as a thank you.

Spring is about fresh starts. Let this be yours too.

Book when you’re ready. Your body will thank you for it.

This weather has been all over the place lately. One day it feels like spring and the next we’re back to winter. When the temperatures swing that much your body feels it too. If you’ve been feeling more tight, sore, or just run down lately, it might be a good time to come in and take care of yourself with a massage.

Quick 10-second posture check.

Look down at your phone for a moment like you normally would.

Now sit up tall and pull your shoulders back.

Feel that stretch across the front of your chest?

That tight feeling is coming from your pectorals , and they play a much bigger role in neck pain and headaches than most people realize.

Because of how much time we spend driving, working on computers, and scrolling on our phones, the chest muscles gradually tighten and start pulling the shoulders forward. Once that happens, the head shifts forward too.

Now the neck and upper back muscles are working overtime all day just to hold your head up.

This is why so many people deal with:
• tight neck muscles
• tension headaches
• shoulder stiffness
• posture that feels like it keeps collapsing

What surprises a lot of people is that sometimes the key to relieving neck and shoulder tension isn’t only in the back — it’s in the front of the body .

When the pectoral muscles are allowed to relax and lengthen, the shoulders can naturally move back into a better position. That takes a lot of strain off the neck and upper back.

It’s something I pay close attention to when working with clients, because the source of tension isn’t always where the pain shows up.

If you spend a lot of time at a desk, behind the wheel, or on your phone, your chest muscles might be working against your posture more than you realize.

Now I’m curious — by the end of the day, what usually bothers you more?

Neck
Shoulders
Upper back

I hear a funny comment sometimes when I talk about Manual Lymphatic Drainage massage.

“So… it’s basically the petting massage, right?” 😆

And honestly, I get why people say that. The pressure is very light and gentle, so it can feel different from the deep tissue or therapeutic work people are used to.

But here’s the interesting part: that gentle approach is actually exactly what the lymphatic system needs. Your lymphatic system is responsible for moving excess fluid, waste, and toxins out of your tissues so your body can filter and eliminate them. The catch is that it doesn’t have its own pump like the heart does , so sometimes things slow down and fluid can build up.

That’s where Manual Lymphatic Drainage comes in.

Using very specific, rhythmic movements, the goal is to help stimulate the natural flow of lymph so your body can do what it’s designed to do — drain, filter, and reset itself. You might not leave feeling like you just got done with a deep tissue workout, and your posture may not feel dramatically different when you stand up from the table.

But internally, your body has just gotten a huge assist in clearing inflammation, moving stagnant fluid, and supporting your immune system. Many people notice things like:
• Less puffiness or swelling
• Relief from sinus congestion
• Feeling lighter and less “sluggish”
• Faster recovery from illness or injury
• An overall sense that their body just feels better

Think of it like helping your body take out the trash and clear the drains. It’s one of those therapies that may seem simple on the surface, but the impact it can have on the body is pretty incredible.

I’m always curious — has anyone here ever tried Manual Lymphatic Drainage before?

Six months ago I took a leap and moved Unsighted Massage into Nicole Richards Salon and Spa. Looking back, I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better place or better people to grow alongside.

In these first six months I’ve had the privilege of working with so many incredible clients. Some come in simply needing to relax and reset. Others come in dealing with stubborn sciatic pain, injuries, or more complex situations. I’ve even had the honor of supporting someone through their cancer journey. Moments like that remind me why I chose this path in the first place.

Something I’m also really proud of is being able to give back. With the help of this amazing community, I’ve been able to give away over 50 massages through nonprofit donations, giveaway baskets with the salon, and community giveaways for people who truly needed it. Being able to do that means the world to me.

Reaching this six month mark also allowed me to make another big step. I was able to leave my part time job and commit fully to this work and to the people who trust me with their care.

None of this happens without all of you. Every appointment booked, every referral, every share, and every kind word has helped make this possible. Word of mouth and community support are the reason I get to do something I genuinely love every day.

Here’s to six amazing months inside Nicole Richards Salon and Spa and many more to come. Thank you all for being part of the journey.

People sometimes assume being blind would make massage harder.

For me, it sharpens everything.

I’m not distracted by what your body looks like. I’m tuned into texture, temperature, muscle tone, the way your breathing shifts under my hands.

When one shoulder doesn’t move like the other, I feel it.
When a hip guards before I even apply pressure, I notice it.
When your neck is holding tension you didn’t realize was there, it shows up immediately.

Massage isn’t visual work. It’s tactile work.

And that’s the world I live in every day.

If you’ve never experienced bodywork from someone who works this way, it’s different. In a good way.

When people think about massage, most of the time they think about their back, neck, and shoulders. But some of the most important work I do happens in the hips and lower body.

Your hips, knees, and ankles are the foundation of how you move. Every step you take, every time you stand up, sit down, climb stairs, or even shift your weight, these joints are working together. When one area gets tight, weak, or restricted, the rest of the body has to compensate. That is when pain, stiffness, and imbalance start showing up.

The muscles that connect these joints like the glutes, hip flexors, quads, hamstrings, calves, and even the muscles along the outer thigh all play a role in how your body feels and functions. If these tissues are tight or overworked, it can affect your posture, your low back, and even how your feet hit the ground.

Massage helps improve circulation, reduce tension, and keep these muscles moving the way they are supposed to. It supports joint health by keeping the surrounding tissue flexible and responsive. Over time, that means better mobility, less strain, and fewer aches and pains.

Whether you sit most of the day, stay on your feet for work, exercise regularly, or just feel stiff getting out of bed, your lower body deserves attention too. Taking care of your hips and legs is taking care of your whole body.

If you have been ignoring these areas, it might be time to give them some love. Your body will thank you for it.

Communication is everything when it comes to getting the most out of your massage.

I tell every client this because it truly matters. Your session is completely customizable to you. Table warmth, music volume, pressure, and which areas need the most focus are all adjustable.

There are plenty of times when someone asks for deep work on their neck, shoulders, and upper back, but doesn’t say a word during the session. I’ll check in and ask how pressure feels, and I’ll get a “great” or “everything’s fine.” Then later I hear that they were sore afterward or that the pressure was too much. Sometimes this leads to the clients not wanting to rebook.

Here’s the truth. We are not mind readers.

I’m here to help you feel better and get the most out of your self care, but only you know what feels right in your body. If something is too much, not enough, too warm, too cold, too quiet, or too loud, please say something in the moment. My feelings will not be hurt. I would much rather adjust than have you leave uncomfortable.

By default, most of my sessions are calm and quiet so you can fully relax. If you enjoy silence, that’s perfectly fine. If you like to chat during your massage, I’m more than happy to talk with you too. This is your time, and I’ll always follow your lead.

This is your time. Your body. Your session.

The more you communicate, the better your massage will be.

Lately it feels like we’re finally coming out of that long winter stretch and starting to feel a little more like ourselves again.

I’ve had a few openings lately and just wanted to put it out there in case anyone has been meaning to come in and just hasn’t gotten around to it yet.

If your body has been feeling tight, tired, or just off, that’s usually your sign to take some time for yourself.

I’m always grateful for the people who trust me with their care and let me do what I love.

If you’re ready for a reset, I’d be happy to help.

Hope to see you soon.

Have you noticed how much tighter and more run down your body feels in the winter?

Cold weather causes muscles to tense up, circulation to slow down, and joints to feel stiffer than usual. On top of that, we tend to move less, sit more, and deal with extra stress this time of year. All of that adds up to more neck pain, shoulder tension, low back discomfort, and overall fatigue.

Dry winter air also takes a toll on your skin, leaving it feeling tight and irritated. Massage helps improve circulation, rehydrate the skin, and keep your muscles flexible so small aches don’t turn into bigger problems.

A lot of people think of massage as a “treat,” but in the winter it’s really about maintenance. It helps keep your body moving, your stress levels down, and your sleep on track when everything else is working against you.

If you’ve been feeling stiff, sore, tired, or just not quite like yourself lately, your body is probably telling you it’s time for some self-care. I’d love to help you feel warm, loose, and refreshed again. Message me to book your next session.
