😴 Unlock Your Hidden Mobility: The Power of Sidelying Massage.

Have you ever wondered if your massage therapist is truly reaching those deep, stubborn areas of tension?

Many critical muscles, which are vital for stability, balance, and athletic movement are often overlooked in the standard face-up (supine) or face-down (prone) positions.

That’s where the Sidelying Position becomes a game-changer!

Lying on your side allows the therapist access to muscles that are completely exposed and pliable, enabling deep, focused work for truly balanced relief.

The Hidden Mobility Muscles We Target in Sidelying: Muscle Group
Why They Matter.

Teres Minor & Major
Essential rotators and stabilizers for the shoulder. Key to freeing up chronic upper back and shoulder pain.

Quadratus Lumborum (QL)
The deepest back muscle connecting the ribs and pelvis. The #1 source of persistent low back pain and hip hiking.

Gluteus Medius & Minimus
Crucial stabilizers for the entire leg. Targeting these alleviates issues like Sciatica and chronic knee pain.

Vastus Lateralis
The largest quad muscle, accessible from the side of the thigh. Directly impacts knee tracking and stability.

These muscles are the foundation of your body's stability and are often challenging to treat effectively in any other position.

By incorporating sidelying work, we ensure a comprehensive, balanced treatment that leads to lasting relief and improved mobility.

🏋️‍♀️ Don't Just Get a Massage—Get a Competitive Edge!

Sports Massage is not a one-size-fits-all treatment.

It is a strategic tool with Four Specific Phases, each designed to optimize your body at the perfect time in your training cycle.

If you train, compete, or are an active weekend warrior, you need the right kind of bodywork at the right time:

1. The Pre-Event Massage (The Turbo-Charge)
Goal: To stimulate, warm-up, and increase blood flow to muscles immediately before activity.

Timing: 15 minutes to 2 hours before competition.
Technique: Fast-paced, brisk strokes (effleurage, tapotement, compression). No deep, pain-inducing work!
Result: Increased flexibility, greater range of motion, and enhanced mental focus, all without fatiguing the muscle.

2. The Post-Event Massage (The Detox & Cool-Down)
Goal: To flush out metabolic waste (like lactic acid) and reduce inflammation immediately after intense exertion.

Timing: Immediately after cool-down, up to 72 hours post-event.
Technique: Slower, lighter, broader strokes and compression. Gentle stretching.

Result: Accelerated recovery time, significant reduction in Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS), and faster restoration of muscle length.

3. The Maintenance Massage (The Preventative Tune-Up)
Goal: To improve overall tissue health, break up chronic knots, and identify potential injury spots.

Timing: Weekly or bi-weekly, scheduled regularly between training sessions.
Technique: Targeted Deep Tissue, Myofascial Release, and Trigger Point Therapy.

Result: Minimizes risk of injury, improves posture and flexibility, and allows for higher-quality training consistency.

4. The Rehabilitation Massage (The Healing Path)
Goal: To reduce scar tissue, improve tissue mobility, and restore function to an injured area.

Timing: Throughout the injury recovery process (in consultation with a physical therapist/doctor).
Technique: Specific friction techniques, cross-fiber work, and joint mobilization.

Result: Speeds up the healing process, prevents chronic stiffness, and ensures a safer return to full activity.

Don't wait until you're injured to start your recovery plan.

Small in stature and big on courage!

When I was 12 years old, just about to graduate from Primary School in South Africa, I faced an experience that has stuck with me for years. It was the day of our annual athletics competition, a much-anticipated event where all the students were divided into four Houses ( there was Zebra, Giraffe, Sable and Buffalo. I was in Zebra) or Teams to compete against one another.

My excitement was palpable as I joined my classmates on the field, buzzing with the thrilling spirit of competition and camaraderie. As we gathered, we were instructed to line up from the shortest to the tallest within our respective Houses. As a member of Standard 5, the highest grade in the school, I proudly took my place in the line.

However, as the teachers began organizing us, I found myself being pushed further and further back. Despite being at the topmost level of the school academically, my height — or rather, lack thereof — meant I was soon standing among the first graders, the girls who were only 6 years old.

Each time I was gently instructed to move back, my heart sank a little more. The excitement I had felt for the day's events was quickly overshadowed by a gnawing sense of embarrassment and insignificance. There I was, on the verge of graduation, yet I felt so small — both literally and figuratively.

I remember looking around and seeing the other students whispering and exchanging glances. My confidence took a real blow that day, and I felt as though my stature determined my worth. It was an incredibly humbling moment, and one that left me feeling vulnerable and exposed, as if my worth had shrunk to match my physical height.

But looking back, I realized something profound. That experience, painful as it was, taught me an essential lesson: our value isn't determined by our appearance, but by our actions, our spirit, and our resilience. It compelled me to build inner strength and embrace my unique qualities.

Today, I carry that memory with me, not as a scar, but as a testament to my growth and courage. It's a reminder that challenges and moments of feeling 'small' can shape us into stronger, more empathetic and also determined individuals. This story is a part of who I am, and it fuels my passion to help others find their confidence and embrace their true selves, no matter the external circumstances.

Do you have any particular events in your early years that shaped the way you viewed the world or how you thought the world viewed you, that you have realized was askew?

Even though I have been certified as an intimacy and relationship coach for 2 years, I know what it’s like to struggle with lack of intimacy and connection in a long term relationship

Because years ago, that struggle consumed my life.

I know what it’s like to wake up and wonder what went wrong and spend sleepless nights trying to figure out how to improve things between you and your partner, but not knowing what to do, that will actually work.….

And to lay down at night thinking how did we lose that spark and that closeness and that desire for intimacy and how I wish we could get it back.

It got so bad that I went to therapy to try and figure out what was wrong with me.

So, I know how painful it can be.

And I know what it’s like to be on the other side of it..
I now know how to ask for what I want in a relationship, to feel confident and alive and how to keep things fresh and romantic.

The best part is it’s not hard and it doesn’t take years of therapy to learn these things; you’re not broken and neither is your partner. When I found the 5 Erotic Blueprints and learned that very few couples have the same Love Language, it all made sense. Learning about your partner’s Love Language can help with s.xual incompatibility and bring couples back to a place of fun connection and new adventures together.

And now I want this kind of life for everyone; I want to see women feeling confident and self assured, helping to co-create relationships that are filled with good communication, and fabulous intimacy and connection, however that looks for each couple! That’s why I do the work that I do.

Even though there’s a part of me that thinks that I’m sharing too much about my life’s work this week (as I shared earlier, I’m in a 5 day challenge) my deeper truth is that I care way too much about helping people to get embarrassed and let that fear stop me.

Because I know how painful it can be when you have a feeling of disconnection and lack of intimacy with your special someone; it makes you start to question your attractiveness and your worth.

And I have dedicated myself to helping as many people as possible to ignite their confidence and connection with their partner and bring back the joy, delight and fun back into their relationship.
So if you or anyone you know struggles with feeling disconnected and stuck or having routine s.x and s.xual incompatibility in their relationship, I’m offering 5 free Ignite Your Confidence and Create Connection Consultations, to help you start moving forward.

Life’s too short to spend it with lack of romance, intimacy and adventure in relationships and I’d be honored to support you or someone you know and care about with this.
LMK if I can help…

Even though my passion for women’s happiness, with themselves and their relationships have led me to get my coaching certification and start a new career….

I have to admit that I’ve been playing small and not yet making the impact I know that I’m here to make. Maybe it’s fear of judgment and overthinking all the details involved in starting a different business and putting myself out there … why I haven’t shared more about my journey and why I’m so passionate about my work.

But that changes this week! I've joined a 5-Day Challenge to support me to be more VISIBLE and share more of my story with you.

Because I know that there are a lot of women I could help, who struggle with debilitating lack of passion and desire and feeling lonely and stuck in their relationship.

I was always taught that talking about myself was bragging and I’ve never been comfortable with that anyway and no one wants to hear about my struggles.
So that's why I haven't shared much about my story and why I'm so passionate about my work.
But I know that there are a lot of people I could help who experience a feeling of disconnection from their partner, lack of romance, a routine s*x life or a lack of desire to even connect intimately, lack of excitement and s*xual incompatibility and are ready for change and if that’s you or someone you know and you want to get your life and your relationship back, you want that energy, excitement and vitality in life that you had, when you first started dating, I’m here to help with that (and yes, it is possible!)
I'll share more of my story later,...
But for now, if you would like to see me make a bigger and more positive impact and difference in the lives of a LOT more people,...
Drop me a note below so that I know that you’ve seen this…
