✨Cranial Nerves 3&4✨

So much of our time is spent with eyes narrowed forward and down. Our body follows.

Pencil pushups are a great way to retrain the habitual patterns of the eyes to improve balance, concentration, and address compensation patterns.

⭐️Last session open this week is Friday at 3:30!

✨System Reset w/ 2 Blocks✨

Spend 3-5 minutes with some pressure therapy for the suboccipitals, lateral ribs, and sacral attachments.

Why I find this useful beyond the tissue:
⭐️shift from overthinking to feeling
⭐️pressure speaks to your nervous system without having to go to extreme range of motion for hypermobile bodies
⭐️nervous system’s that need intensity can find it here paired with slowing down and yielding

My next opening for massage/movement is Wednesday 4/22✨

✨Effort and Ease✨

I have been making the effort to receive as much bodywork as I can this year, not only for my self care, but for the valuable knowledge that comes from receiving.

A highlight has been the reiteration of bodywork as a communication between nervous systems. The effort or ease with which pressure is applied by the therapist, directly relates to how the work is received by the client.

This is one of many reasons I believe in Thai Massage - the rhythmic nature moving through the layers of the body thoughtfully, soothes the nervous system even when sensations can be intense.

⭐️Avaiability Wed, Fri, Sat, and Sun this week ⭐️

✨Learning Thai Massage✨

I had a fun time hosting a partner Thai workshop this weekend - something I offer in office too!
For anyone - we get to work on specific areas and techniques for your person, your way.

For LMTs - I offer heavily discounted mentorship sessions for those interested in learning Thai Massage or fine tuning an existing Thai Massage practice. This could include specializations like prenatal, abdominal, and treatment oriented work.

⭐️Availability Wed, Fri, and Sat this week for any type of sessions⭐️

✨The Optic Nerve✨

Cranial nerve 2 reminds us that our eyes impact our whole body.

When the eyes are fatigued, the body compensates for the lack of clear information the brain is receiving. That may present as headache, nausea, neck pain, or a myriad of other symptoms that our body produces to get our attention - to ask us to change.

Just as habitual movements can cause strain in our body, our eyes want to engage in different ways.

If our eyes are narrowed downward(phone), you may find relief from sending the eyes up, side, or just closing the eyes altogether to recenter.

⭐️Last session open this week: Wed 2/11 4pm⭐️

✨Cranial Nerve 1 - Olfactory✨

Retiring the muscles of 2025 for the cranial nerves of 2026! It’s been a fun tradition to make my own niche calendar each year for my office.

Our sense of smell is highly connected to emotion and memory, which both impact pain. The conscious use of scent may help reduce the sense of threat you experience therein reducing pain/other protective outputs.

Ideally, you would pick up a random scent, say from a group of essential oil bottles so that you have to do the work of identifying and visualizing the scent.

⭐️Sun 1/25 3pm

✨Calves✨

So many fun ways to work wit the calves in Thai Massage, and a couple of them offer a calf massage for both practitioner and receiver!

The calf muscles are often referred to as the second heart, as their muscular contraction does so much to move blood and lymph back up towards the heart.

❄️I’ve got a few appointments left this week before holiday closures❄️

⭐️Wed 3:30pm
⭐️Fri 3:30pm

✨the Neck and Breath✨

Working through the neck and shoulders is lovely and therapeutic, but sometimes less direct work can also free up the neck.

When our diaphragm is not engaging optimally, restriction around the ribcage/abdomen are not allowing for movement, the neck/traps might feel the effects.

This is not only because some of our neck muscles assist with breath, but there are neurological connections that allow deeper diaphragmatic breath to ease trap/neck tension.

Abdominal massage/diaphragmatic release is one strategy, specific movement into the ribcage/thoracic spine is another to allow deeper breath.

⭐️2 appts left this week: Fri 3:30-5pm, Sun 6-7pm ⭐️

✨Deep Muscles of the Hip✨

You may not have heard of these muscles of the hip, but most of these exist deep to the more known glute max.

When some of our bigger glute muscles are “asleep” the tiny muscles in the top images can stay “online” longer than they want to try and create stability.

I often find that hips that were stuck in external rotation, sit a little more neutral after manual work here, perhaps relieved from some of the continual clenching that can happen within the deep hip.
