I often hear people say things like "no pain no gain" when it comes to massage. That's not exactly true, but it also doesn't mean your next most effective massage is going to be a fluff and buff, either.

Massage might be uncomfortable. If the area we're working on has been causing you issues, massaging it will probably be uncomfy. Many say it "hurts in a good way."

Everyones line is different, and i honestly hate the above saying because "pain" is such a strong word. I tell my clients, "if you're holding your breath, gritting your teeth, or feel like jumping off the table and calling me names? Then we're going too deep."

You don't have to apologize to me 😅

Delayed pain after a car accident can be confusing — and honestly, scary.

Many people think,
“Nothing hurt right away, so I must be fine.”

But the body is incredible at protecting you in the moment…
and that protection often shows up later as pain, stiffness, or tension that won’t resolve on its own.

This is one of the most common patterns I see in auto injury recovery.

✨ You’re not behind.
✨ You didn’t miss your window.
✨ Your body is doing its best.

If you’re dealing with lingering pain after an accident, let’s talk.

It’s more common than you think... and yes, massage therapy can often help!

What you’re feeling might come from:
• Nerve compression in the neck or shoulder from tight muscles
• Whiplash and other car accident related injuries
• Tight forearm muscles affecting circulation
• Scar tissue or tension from old injuries
• Repetitive strain (hello phones + laptops)

Massage can improve mobility, reduce pressure on nerves, and restore normal sensation.
If your hands feel “asleep” more than they should… it’s time to get to the root cause.

TMJ pain isn’t “just a jaw problem.”

Most of the time, the jaw is responding to something deeper — neck tension, past injuries, overactive chewing muscles, posture, or stress patterns you don’t even realize you’re holding.

When we treat the source, not just the symptom, clients get long-lasting relief: fewer headaches, less neck pain, smoother jaw movement, and a calmer nervous system.
If your jaw keeps clicking, locking, or aching… it’s your body asking for a real assessment.

That’s exactly what i do here. 🤍

Book a session, and let’s get to the root cause.

Winter is beautiful! It's actually my favorite. But it can make bodies stiff and sore. Why do things seem to hurt more in winter? Other than the skin on your face when you're blasted with a -30 degree wall of windchill...

The holidays are fun, but also can be stressful. Also standing around in the kitchen all day can make your lower back ache... I get that one a lot this time of year.

See you in December 🦃🤍

And a massage with me means we look at the whole picture, not just that one pesky spot...
