Homework.

If you’ve ever been on my massage table, chances are I’ve given you some homework.

Don’t worry—this isn’t anything like math class. Massage homework can actually change your life.

Yes, a lot of good happens during the massage itself. But depending on your goals, the real magic happens between sessions. Training your muscles to be stronger through strength work, or more relaxed through flexibility and stretching (or both), is what creates lasting results.

Yep—your massage therapist does her homework too.

After a full week of shoveling, I ended up with right-sided low back pain. I know the best way to prevent that from happening again is by strengthening my glutes and core, so that’s exactly what I’m working on right now.

What are you working on?
If you need tips, let me know—and don’t forget: practice makes progress.

If you’ve shoveled snow this week…
Congrats, you just earned yourself a massage. 😅

Snow shoveling overworks:
✔️ shoulders
✔️ lower back
✔️ core
✔️ hips & legs
✔️hands & forearms

If you’re feeling stiff, sore, or tight after clearing snow, massage therapy can help reduce tension, improve circulation, and speed recovery.

Your body worked hard. Now it’s time to take care of it. ✌🏻❄️💆‍♀️

All I want for Christmas is for you to do your homework.

Stretch. Start building strength where you need it. Drink your water. Go outside whenever you can. Feel better.

Book your massage—but also take care of yourself in between.
That’s where the real magic happens. ✌🏻❤️🎄

Sauna when you can, wherever you can. 🔥🔥

I use the one at my gym. I’d love to have my own one day, but for now—this works great.

I could honestly go on about the benefits of sauna use for days. The list is far too long for one post, and I’ll probably need to make a video so more people actually see the information.

For now, I’ll highlight a few of my favorites.

Sauna use offers both neurological and cardiovascular benefits, and it can significantly improve sleep quality.

🧠 Favorite neurological benefit:
Frequent sauna use has been associated with a lower risk of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia.

❤️ Favorite cardiovascular benefit:
Just 2–3 sauna sessions per week are linked to a lower risk of fatal heart events.

Simple. Accessible. Powerful.

Find a sauna. ✌🏻

You do not have to live with pain or chronic pain.

Sometimes you just have to give your body the opportunity to slow down the pain cycle.

Touch receptors travel faster to your brain than pain receptors. This is one reason why massage therapy is so great for breaking that cycle.

Starting is always the hardest part.

Whether it’s getting to the gym, stretching, drinking more water, or finally scheduling that first massage—those first steps feel the heaviest. But once you weave it into your routine, it becomes part of your life, and everything gets a little easier.

I’ve been off the wagon, on the wagon, fallen off again, and climbed right back up. And honestly? Starting over never feels easier. But I’m always grateful that I chose to try again.

Your wellness is a journey, not a destination. It’s uniquely yours, and it won’t look like anyone else’s. But one thing is universal: starting is hard… and you will never regret choosing to better yourself. ✌🏻🧘‍♀️💪🏻💧

Wellness Outside of the Massage Room

Did you know that even short bursts of cold exposure can give your immune system a natural boost? It’s true! Cold, fresh air stimulates your body’s defenses and may help increase white blood cell activity.

And don’t underestimate the power of natural light — even the faint winter daylight we get here in Alaska. Just a little exposure helps regulate your circadian rhythm, which supports your mood, sleep, energy, and overall wellbeing. This is huge during our long, dark winter months.

Simply being outdoors can also shift your body from “fight-or-flight” to “rest-and-digest.” A few quiet minutes outside, a brisk walk, or a slow stroll with a warm drink in hand can lower cortisol, calm your nervous system, and help you feel more grounded. 🧘‍♀️

Spending time in nature during the Alaskan winter is one of the simplest, most powerful wellness habits you can build. Even just 10–20 minutes a day can make a meaningful difference — and the benefits stack the more you do it.

Get outside, breathe the fresh air, move your body, and enjoy the beauty of Alaska. For your health! ❄️🗻🌲

✨ Big News ✨
Getting my massage license transferred to Alaska has been quite the process, but I’m so happy to say it’s finally official — as of yesterday, I’m licensed to practice massage here in Alaska! 🩵❄️

For now, I’ve decided to take a break from mobile massage. Driving and hauling my table through Alaskan winter conditions is something I’ll need a little more time to wrap my head around. 😅

I’ve already applied at a massage clinic in Wasilla and got a call back almost instantly — my interview is set for Thursday morning! Wish me luck! 🤞💆‍♀️

Good things come to those who wait. 🧘‍♀️

I thought I would be celebrating being a newly licensed massage therapist in Alaska by now…

BUT—the universe had other plans. The Board of Massage was supposed to meet on September 4th but due to a lack of quorum, the meeting was postponed until October.

Hopefully, by the time I’m celebrating my 20-year massage school graduation in November, I’ll be celebrating having my massage license here in Alaska too.

Until then, I’ll be enjoying my zen while watching the leaves quickly fall from the trees. 🍂

✨ Repost PSA for my future clients in Alaska ✨

If I had a dollar for every “Sorry, I didn’t shave”… I’d have quite a few dollars. But honestly? I don’t want them.

What I do want is for you to feel comfortable on my massage table. 💙

Leg hair, back hair, no hair, toe hair — we truly don’t care! My massage space is a judgment-free zone.

The last thing you should worry about when taking time for self-care and wellness is body hair. Your comfort and relaxation matter far more than your razor. 🕊️

Come as you are. Always.

We live in the time of technology—and it’s really, really hard to avoid.

Think about everything you do on your phone in a single day. From the moment you wake up to the moment you finally put it down, it’s there:
• Holding your hobbies
• Helping you make an income
• Giving small businesses free advertising
• Educating, entertaining, connecting

So… why would you need a break from something so useful?

Here’s why: Looking down at your phone too much can cause repetitive use injuries. These can show up as:
• Muscle tension and headaches
• Mild or nagging upper back pain
• Sharp pain or muscle spasms

Moral of the story: TAKE A BREAK.
Even better—set a daily reminder on the phone that’s breaking your neck.
