As we head into the holiday season, I want to give everyone a quick heads-up about my upcoming availability. The next couple of weeks will include some closings and more limited hours as the holidays approach.

I do have last-minute availability on Monday and Tuesday of next week, then I will be closed on Wednesday. I’ll be resuming normal hours starting Monday, December 29.

The holidays are all about giving to others, but they’re also a good reminder of how important it is to take care of ourselves too. Between the stress, the busy schedules, and everything that comes with this time of year, a little time to slow down can go a long way.

If you’ve been thinking about getting in before the holidays or planning something to look forward to after, now is a great time to book. I appreciate all of you and wish everyone a calm, healthy, and restorative holiday season.

I’m willing to bet that right now, as you’re reading this, your head is tilted downward and your neck is drifting forward. Take a second and notice it. Do you think that position is actually good for your neck and shoulders?

The average human head weighs about 10 to 12 pounds. When it sits directly over your shoulders, your neck muscles can support it efficiently. But for every inch your head moves forward, the strain on your neck increases dramatically. At just a few inches forward, those muscles are dealing with the equivalent of several times that weight. Over time, this constant load leads to tightness, fatigue, headaches, and shoulder pain.

What’s really happening is a muscle imbalance. The muscles in the front of the neck and chest shorten and tighten, while the muscles in the upper back and the deep neck stabilizers become overstretched and weak. Your body is working harder just to hold your head up.

Massage helps by addressing both sides of that problem. It releases the shortened, overworked muscles that are pulling your head forward, and it improves circulation and tissue quality in the lengthened muscles that are constantly under strain. By restoring balance, massage allows your neck and shoulders to move more freely and with less effort, reducing tension and discomfort over time.

If your neck and shoulders have been feeling tight, heavy, or sore lately, there’s a good chance your daily posture is playing a role. Giving those muscles some attention can make a bigger difference than most people realize.

The holidays are right around the corner, and I’m happy to share that gift certificates will be available starting this Friday inside Nicole Richards Salon and Spa. A massage is a great way to give someone relaxation and self care, but if massage isn’t quite their thing, consider a Nicole Richards gift card for any of the amazing services they offer and turn it into a win for yourself too. Any gift card purchase of $100 or more comes with a $20 off coupon to come and see me for a session. Take care of someone you love and give yourself something to look forward to as well.

When I talk to clients about manual lymphatic drainage, the first thing I explain is that it’s very different from a typical massage. This work is slow, light, and intentional. There’s no deep pressure and no chasing muscle knots. Instead, it focuses on supporting the lymphatic system, which plays a huge role in immune health, inflammation, fluid balance, and how the body clears waste. Because of how gentle it is, I always let people know they may not leave feeling sore or “worked,” and that is completely normal.

What I try to tell clients is that with manual lymphatic drainage, a lot of the benefits happen behind the scenes. Even if you don’t feel something dramatic right away, your body is still responding. This work can help reduce swelling, improve circulation, calm inflammation, support recovery, and regulate the nervous system. Over time, many people notice better sleep, less heaviness or puffiness, improved energy, and an overall sense of balance. Even if there isn’t a specific issue you’re trying to fix, supporting the lymphatic system is something nearly everyone can benefit from. Sometimes the most effective treatments are not the ones you feel immediately, but the ones that help your body function better long term.

How are you feeling lately? Not the polite answer we give in passing, but the real one. If you’ve been carrying more stress than usual, feeling tension building in your shoulders or low back, or noticing that you’re running on empty this time of year, your body is trying to tell you something. You don’t have to push through it. If you need a reset, some relief, or just an hour where everything finally slows down, come see me. Book your appointment and let’s take care of what your body has been holding onto.

Small Business Saturday hits different when you’re someone whose life was completely turned around by taking a chance on a dream. Owning Unsighted Massage hasn’t just given me a career. It’s given me purpose, independence, and a way to connect with people in a way I never expected. Every time someone books with me, refers me, or even just shares my name with a friend, it reminds me that this path was worth fighting for.

The truth is that without all of you, I would be stuck, burnt out, and still trying to figure out what direction my life was supposed to go. Instead, I get to wake up every day and do something I’m passionate about. I get to help people feel better in their bodies. I get to meet some of the kindest people I’ve ever known. That is because of you.

So thank you. Thank you for supporting a small business. Thank you for supporting a fully blind therapist who is just trying to build something real and meaningful. And as always, there is nothing I want more than to help everyone who walks through my door. So remember to book your appointments and come see me. I’d love the chance to thank you in person.

Happy Thanksgiving to all!

Thanksgiving week is coming up, and it’s the perfect time for a little reset before things get hectic. For first-time clients, all massage sessions are just $60 per hour for Thanksgiving week, Monday through Saturday. Spots are limited and they fill quickly.

Between kids being home from school, teachers finally getting a break, family visiting, and in-laws settling in, this time of year can get overwhelming fast. Giving yourself an hour to breathe, decompress, and feel human again can make all the difference.

If you’re ready for a much-needed escape before the holiday chaos hits, call or direct message to book your session.

Have last-minute cancellations that led to availability for tomorrow afternoon for either a 60 minute or 90 minute massage, and Saturday morning for a 90 minute. First come, first serve!

Clients always ask me what makes a bad client or who’s been the worst to work with. These ones… hands down take the prize. Invading my space and acting like they own the place. I get it, it’s almost Thanksgiving , but they make it very hard to do my job. Safe to say, they’re not welcome back for seconds.
