National Cupcake Day + Tired Mommy Edition

National Cupcake Day feels VERY on brand for this tired mommy right here.
Because if there was ever a day to lie face-down on the floor and mentally eat a cupcake?
It’s today. 🍰😂

Anatomy fact:
When you enjoy something sweet mindfully, your parasympathetic nervous system (your “rest + digest” mode) activates — slowing your heart rate, relaxing your muscles, and giving your brain a tiny serotonin hug.

Meanwhile, when you lie face-down on the carpet like this, your nervous system also gets a moment to say:
“Okay sis, we’re tapping out. Rebooting in 5…4…3…”

December is a lot.
Kids… holiday prep… life… being human.
Sometimes the body just goes, “Floor. Now.”

If today has you feeling like THIS photo, celebrate National Cupcake Day however your soul needs:
✨ Eat the cupcake
✨ Rest on the floor
✨ Book the massage
✨ Breathe deeply
✨ Let your nervous system reset

🎁 Christmas Gift Cards Available
💡 College Student Special: $1 per minute (gratuity not included)
Perfect for finals recovery, campus stress, and students who definitely need more than a cupcake.

Thankful for Our Clients — Anatomy of Gratitude + Winter Energy

Last week’s snow dropped in like a surprise guest, covered everything in quiet, and reminded us that even the cold seasons have their own kind of beauty.
That stillness? That’s nervous-system gold.

Anatomy fact of the day:
Practicing gratitude increases activation in the prefrontal cortex — the part of the brain that supports emotional regulation, planning, and resilience.
So when you pause and soften into gratitude, your brain is literally rewiring itself toward strength and peace.

And our gratitude is for YOU.
Every client who walks through our doors…
Every breathwork session with Nadia…
Every Thai massage, reflexology, and sound bath with Elaine…
Every barefoot massage with Rhonda & Ave Maria…
Every online yoga class shared across living rooms…

You’re the heartbeat of this sanctuary, and we don’t take that lightly.

As winter settles in — snow or no snow — let’s lean into the things that warm the body and calm the mind: breath, movement, connection, and little moments of joy.

✨ Here’s to a season of nervous-system rest and renewed strength.
🎁 Christmas gift cards available — because healing is a beautiful gift.

Massage + Mental Health Awareness Day

Holiday depression, grief spikes, chronic illness flares, and burnout are real — and nobody has to pretend otherwise here.

Massage stimulates parasympathetic activation, lowers heart rate, and improves sleep by increasing serotonin.
It doesn’t cure life’s chaos, but it sure makes carrying it easier.

Our team supports you with:
✨ Breathwork (Nadia)
✨ Thai + reflexology + sound therapy (Elaine)
✨ Barefoot massage (Rhonda & Ave Maria)
✨ Online yoga (Rhonda & Elaine)

🎁 Christmas gift cards available — relaxation is a real gift.

Online Yoga with Rhonda & Elaine

Your joints crave movement just like your mind craves quiet.
Yoga increases synovial fluid — that slippery joint l**e that keeps everything gliding instead of grinding instead of sounding like Rice Krispies at 7 a.m.

Online yoga with us is gentle, trauma-aware, strength-building, and perfect for winter when everyone wants to cocoon at home like a chihuahua under a weighted blanket.

And if you know us… we’re not just yoga instructors.
We’re traveling wellness buddies — always out here learning, exploring, and bringing home new relaxing techniques from our trips through Tennessee, North Carolina, Kentucky, and Las Vegas.
We study, we laugh, we return with fresh skills and even better ways to help your body and nervous system calm the hell down.

✨ Move. Breathe. Reset.
🎁 Gift cards available for classes or private sessions — perfect for the person who needs peace more than presents.

Spotlight: Ave Maria — Barefoot Massage + Wellness Education

Ave Maria’s barefoot massage employs slow, broad strokes that gently warm the fascia and facilitate emotional release. This isn’t just massage… it’s nervous-system medicine.
Your fascia is basically your body’s superhero suit — 3D, connected, and emotional.
When it tightens from stress, dehydration, or grief, you feel it everywhere.

Ave Maria’s barefoot massage uses slow, broad strokes that warm the fascia and support emotional release. This isn’t just massage… it’s nervous-system medicine.

✨ Perfect for anyone fighting seasonal tension or “my shoulders live in my ears” syndrome.

🎁 Gift cards make great stocking stuffers — no sizing required.

See you tomorrow, massage family 💆🏽‍♀️💜

If you’re out doing that last-minute holiday shopping, don’t forget the easiest gift ever: a massage gift card and a reminder to smile every day (yes, even in traffic and checkout lines 😅).

Can’t wait to take care of you tomorrow – bring your tired feet, tight shoulders, and holiday stress. I got you.

Spotlight: Rhonda — Barefoot Massage (Ashiatsu & Heelo) + OTA Perspective

Fun anatomy fact: deep glute work helps decrease pressure on the lumbar spine by up to 30% because the glute max + med stabilize pelvic alignment. No wonder everyone walks out of Ashiatsu feeling “alive again.”

As a 20-year LMT, Online Yoga Instuctor, & OTA student, I treat the body like a biomechanical story — not just knots. Every compression, stretch, and glide is designed to support posture, joint protection, stress regulation, and functional movement.

Barefoot massage is my love language.
Gift cards? Yup. They’re ready.

Spotlight: Elaine — Thai Massage + Sound Therapy + Reflexology

Your feet aren’t just tired… they’re a whole sensory map.
The plantar fascia, tibial nerve, and intrinsic foot muscles work like a shock-absorbing team. When they get stiff, everything upstream — knees, hips, low back — complains like a Missouri winter morning.

Elaine blends Thai stretching + reflexology + sound therapy to open the joints, release stagnation, and support mind–body regulation (yes OT sensory folks, I see you 👀). Perfect for people who need grounding in both body and mind.

🎁 Gift cards available. Reflexology is always a hit.

Spotlight: Nadia — Breathwork, Sound Therapy & Symphony Vocalist

When your breath coach is also a symphony-level vocalist… yeah, you’re in good hands.
We saw Nadia perform this Sunday and she was phenomenal — the kind of voice that settles your soul before she even starts the sound bath.

Anatomy fact of the day:
Your diaphragm is a dome-shaped muscle that directly influences your vagus nerve.
When we breathe deeply and intentionally, the vagus nerve sends “hey, calm down” messages throughout the body — lowering tension, stabilizing mood, and improving digestion.

Nadia blends that science with artistry.
Her breathwork + sound therapy isn’t just relaxing — it’s therapeutic, sensory regulation at its finest (OTA students… you know the assignment).

✨ Perfect for anyone who needs nervous-system relief, emotional release, or just a moment of beauty in this wild world.

🎁 Christmas gift cards now available.
A session with Nadia is truly a gift of breath + harmony.

🦶 Ashiatsu Started My Massage Journey

Ashiatsu is what started it all for me.
Back in 2007, in Bridgeton, is when I first stepped into this field, and it was barefoot massage that grabbed my heart and changed my whole path. One technique… and boom — I knew I’d found the thing I was meant to do.

By 2008, I moved to Chesterfield, working on athletes, new moms, military families, weekend warriors, and anyone whose body needed deep, real, restorative work. Ashiatsu gave me the confidence, the skill, and the passion to build the career I still love today.

There’s just something different about using the feet — the depth, the flow, the control, the grounding. Hands can’t do what the feet can do. And once I felt that power, I never looked back.

Over the years, I’ve woven my Filipino roots into it, creating Heelo, inspired by Hilot — the traditional healing style in the Philippines. Hands, feet, intuition, pressure, and cultural rhythm… all in one session.

Why Ashiatsu still has my heart:

– Deep pressure without pain
– Muscles melt instead of fight
– Hips + spine decompress beautifully
– Relief lasts longer
– Nervous system calms fast
– Clients walk out lighter, taller, freer

This technique didn’t just give me a job — it gave me a calling.
And I’m proud of every year, every client, every session, every milestone since 2007.

If you’ve never tried Ashiatsu (or my Heelo blend)… this is your sign.
Your body will understand instantly why this was the beginning of everything.

Text or DM to book. Your back will thank you. Your hips will thank you. Your nervous system will throw you a party. 😄💛

🌟 A little throwback to a proud moment — my 2010 Distinguished Alumni Award from my massage school. Back when my hands/ feet were young, my hips didn’t pop like bubble wrap, and I was just beginning the journey that turned into the career and community I have today. 😌💜

This award still means something to me, because it reminds me of:
✨ the years of service
✨ the clients who trusted me
✨ the long hours learning the body
✨ and the passion that carried me through every season — even the hard ones

As always, if you ever have questions about massage, movement, online yoga, meditation, swelling, pain, stress — anything — you can reach me FAST:
📱 Text 314.656.6178
📧 Email psmaintainbalance@gmail.com

I answer quickly because your wellness matters to me.

And as winter kicks in (and we all start choosing our warm houses over fighting the cold like heroes 😅), online availability will rise — it always does this time of year.

Stay Well This Winter With Online Options:

🧘‍♀️ Online Yoga Sessions
Perfect for keeping your movement patterns intact, giving your muscles that “don’t tighten up on me now” energy, and helping your nervous system stay warm, calm, and happy.

💆‍♀️ Virtual Wellness Visits
Stretching guidance, mobility work, self-massage techniques — whatever your body needs to stay functional when Missouri decides to be dramatic.

If the weather is cold and home is calling your name louder than your job is… hey, I don’t blame you. 😄
Just schedule an online session and take care of your health the smart way.

Here’s to warm houses, flexible bodies, and honoring the journey that got us here. 💛
