Merry Christmas Eve!
Wishing you a holiday of peace, stillness,
and time with loved ones.

The studio is closed for the holidays, and I will be unreachable until the New Year, to spend time slowing down with family. (ie; see always reminding us to take time to be still 🐶)

As a friendly reminder, I am not selling gift cards this season so that I can better focus on my existing client base and balance family time.

There’s still time to donate to to help support foster pets waiting for their forever home.
Thank you to all who have supported so far!

See you in the New Year & God bless!

5 years ago I took this photo, just a few weeks after opening my massage studio.

I was so excited, hopeful, and running on a deep faith in my dream and the support of some of my biggest cheerleaders.

But, next to no clients.

The very next night, I suffered an injury that would render me unable to market, network, grow my business, heck.. somewhat function in public at all. It eventually ended my ability to travel to clients homes as well.

Then, something amazing happened.

You showed up.
You rebooked.
You told your families.
Your friends.
Your communities.

Slowly, the client list grew.
And now it’s 5 years later, and running with a very full schedule of the most amazing people I have the privilege of working with.

This is a thank you.
I only am where I am because of you.

Thank you, you sweet souls, for giving me a landing pad in my hometown to plant my dream.

Thank you for supporting me, my family,
and my career these last 5 years.

Not only am I celebrating 5 years in business so far,
but this year is especially meaningful.

This year, I celebrate 20 years in my career.

That’s my entire adult life.

This field I’m in has been a lighthouse in every storm of life I’ve been in, shaped who I am, and how I show up in the world.

Every day I wonder how I can be
more helpful than the day before;

Because of you.

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your lives, your wellness, and your families.

Thank you for allowing me to grow up in such a special way.

Here’s to the next 20!

Hi friends!

Today is the LAST day to stock up on your favorite brands like Rowe Casa, Just Ingredients, Queen of Thrones, and Earthley.

Jen will be leaving the studio, so once these brands are gone, they’re gone. This is a great opportunity to do a little Christmas shopping for anyone on your list; we could all use a bit more wellness in our lives.

Come give Jen Bender a warm sendoff on her last day and shop between 11–3. If you’re not able to make it in, please contact her directly for purchase or pickup arrangements.

To clear up any confusion and reassure my wonderful clients; the studio is not closing. It’s business as usual here at Salt & Sound Wellness.

Hope you can stop in today and say hello to Jen! 👋

Thank you to everyone who has participated and donated so far in this short amount of time! It means so much! 🎄

thanks you, and so do these sweet lovable pets. Your donation helps support these rescues waiting for their forever homes.

Donate by dropping wishlist items off at all December long, or shop their wishlists to have items sent right to the organization.

RETAIL HOURS for this Friday 12/12! This will be my last day at the shop! All retail products are 35% off excluding Simply Earth. If you are unable to make it into the shop Friday, and want to take advantage of these low prices, message me at 724-822-3070. We can arrange a curbside pickup or my porch pickup at my home in Meridian.

Closing the store has been a hard decision-not because of the shelves or space, but because of YOU! To my customers-turned-friends: thank you! Thank you for trusting me with your wellness journeys, for sharing your stories, your struggles, your wins, and pieces of your personal lives. You’ve given me far more than you know. The thought of not seeing you anymore has been the part I simply can’t bear.

Even though the doors are closing, our community doesn’t have to. I’m creating a private, local, crunchy-mom-style Facebook group where we can stay connected, keep sharing wellness tips, natural living swaps, honest conversations, and whatever season of life we’re walking through. I was thinking we can even have meetups and/or zooms to stay connected, I will also be sharing what inventory is left in that group.

If you want to stay in the loop — and truly, I would love nothing more — drop a line in the comments and I’ll send you the link.

Thank you for being the heart of this journey. I’m grateful for every single one of you.

Mandarin; the unsuspecting holiday essential oil. 🍊

It’s soft, sweet, bright, and the scent you didn’t know was perfect for your home this holiday. 🌲

Think “comfort & joy” as this light aroma eases stress, lifts emotional heaviness & low mood, quiets overwhelm, and creates a relaxing environment.

It blends beautifully with other holiday scents to create the perfect festive vibes; but is a solid choice for a stand alone oil.

Wishing you a calm & bright December ☺️ 🍊

Happy December!

This month, & specifically this year, mark a very special time for me for many reasons; one being..

Happy 5 years to Salt & Sound Wellness! 🎁

Let’s celebrate!

I wanted to give back and support a great local non-profit; and this one tugs on my heart strings.

(If I’ve ever visited your home for an in-home massage, guarantee I probably said “hello” to your pets first. 🤗)

You can drop off donations at the studio all month long, or shop directly online to have items sent to the organization to support these little furry angels while they wait for their forever homes.

Visit https://www.pawsacrosspittsburgh.com
for more info, and to donate items from their wish list.

Thank you for supporting this great cause!

Love,

Hello, sweet friends.

Over the past 5 years my client base has grown in ways I could have never predicted.
I’m currently operating on a beyond full schedule;
lucky enough to be booked a few months out.

Grateful simply doesn’t begin to cover it.

In order to keep showing up and serving you lovely folks and loyal clients who have supported me, I’ve decided to close my massage book to accepting new clients for the time being in order to balance family/work life.

Maybe one day I’ll have some wiggle room for new clients, but for now I’m making a necessary decision.

*If you have an unused gift card and are a new client, please message me directly to schedule your session. 🤗

As always, thank you for supporting my dream;
stay healthy friends!

Ahh November.. the month of
gentle reminders to be grateful. 🍂

Did you know that practicing gratitude has health benefits?

According to science, it can calm the mind, reduce stress, improve sleep, boost the mood, and even support heart & immune health.

Simple ways to practice:
•Offer a prayer of thanks
•Speak or write kind words
•Acts of service
•Be fully present with someone. (Put those phones down ☺️)

For me, prayer has been the simplest way to start.
God has a pretty profound way of inspiring ways to help others and notice how blessed we truly are.

Wishing you a joy-filled November,
with lots of moments that warm your heart.

Reason #1,782 I love my job.

The cookies.

A client friend brought me these fresh baked pumpkin cookies today and it made my whole day.

Some days, it’s fresh eggs.
Some days, it’s flowers.
Candy.
Art.
Potted plants.
Books.
Electrolytes.

My favorite days though, are the days of heart-felt conversations, life stories, the cuddling of clients pets,
and warm hugs.
The days of random texts with clients, with an inside joke, or a “thinking of you!”

The reason I really love my job (and why I left Massage Envy 5 summers ago) was so I could forge deeper connections with clients.

So thank you, friends, for helping my dreams come to life and allowing me to exist in this safe space I love.
Yes, I consider most of you dear friends at this point.

So.. reason #1,782. It’s more than cookies.

That’s 1,782 days in business.

4 years.
10 months.

…And 17 days.

Get ready for something extra special happening
this December @ Salt & Sound Wellness, folks.

After all.. it’s not every year a triple milestone
happens all in one month. 😉 🎉

Stay tuned…
& stay healthy.

You know that feeling you get?

When you’re taking a stroll among the trees..
nowhere to be by a certain time, really.

Nothing rushed.

Appreciating your surroundings; and a break from noise of the world.
.That feeling that everything
around you has slowed way down?

Yea.. we need that. ❤️‍🩹

This week I felt drawn to slowing things down and creating more stillness at the studio.

Not too different from any other week, but, this aromatherapy trio hits differently.

Lavender - calm & soothing
Fir Needle - refreshing, encourages deep breathing, mood lifting
Cedarwood - grounding, emotionally stabilizing, eases anxiety

Slow on down and press forward, friends. 🌲
