MRV your LMT

Talk to your LMT! 🗣️
Not every therapist is an investigator, but I am. To "level up" your next treatment, share these 3 things during your intake:

1️⃣ The "Breath Check" 😮‍💨
Ask your therapist to coach your breathing in tight areas. Holding your breath = holding tension. Let’s work together to let it go.

2️⃣ Your Daily "Dos & Don'ts" 🏃‍♂️
Tell them what makes you feel better and what makes you flare up. If you don't tell them, they’re guessing. Help them take the guesswork out of your relief.

3️⃣ Your "No-Go" Zones & Favorites 🚫
Not a fan of scalp massage? Love extra pressure on your calves? Tell them! We’re body workers, not mind readers. This is your session—get exactly what you want.

📌 Save this post to use as a checklist for your next massage!

I value transparency because it leads to better results. ✨ Ready for a session where you’re actually heard? Click the link in my bio to book. Can’t wait to work with you.

What I do between my appointments is my business. 🤫

But if you show up early enough you might get a front row seat to me singing along to my showtunes playlist while I clean my room. 🕺 🧼

You can take the man out of the theatre, but you can’t the theatre out of the man. 🎭

This is what happens when a theater kid becomes a Massage Therapist. 💆

We were grateful to welcome Uptown business owners, community partners, City staff, and Board members to our first Quarterly Meeting of the year.
Together, we reflected on the economic impact of 2025 and looked ahead to what’s next in 2026 — including upcoming events, key initiatives, and an economic development update from City leadership.
These conversations matter.
They help ensure that Uptown continues to grow in a way that supports local businesses, strengthens partnerships, and enhances the experience for everyone who lives, works, and visits here.
Thank you to everyone who took the time to be part of the discussion — your input helps shape what comes next. Photo Courtesy of The Westerville News Gary Gardiner City Government of Westerville, Ohio Visit Westerville COhatch Westerville Public Library Good Medicine Productions Birdie Books

Whether you’re pushing through the holidays, getting to the end of the fiscal quarter, or finishing the year strong, January is right around the corner, and the folks at Cohatch are embracing Self Care.

Regardless of how you’re finishing out December, remember to take care of the most important gift of all, your body!

Another Chair Massage Event in the books and I can’t explain how amazing it is to be meeting all of the people I’ve been working with.

All the love to this community.

It was Wellness Week for the members of Cohatch Easton!!

Thanks for inviting me to participate in Wellness Awareness! So many folks with Self Care on the mind in one place was so exciting to be around!

Where will my Wagon and I go next?!
(Hint! It’ll probably be the Westerville Cohatch on Thursday!)

Hosted by in Uptown Westerville!

Out here doing Chair Massage for the fine people of Westerville who were just looking for a little warmth amidst the snow flurries!
(Thank god for my Wagon!)

I can take my Massage Chair anywhere! Drop me line or leave me a comment if you’d like me to visit your business with a Chair Massage Event next!

Gotta love a change of perspective to change the way you feel about something.

I’ve never been a big Black Friday fan or really that much of a gift giver, but now that I’m a small business owner I really see the benefit of giving your money to a locally owned establishment over a corporation when it comes to my holiday shopping list.

It’s makes the gift that much more personal that you sourced it from someone in your community who put their heart and soul into it.

Even if you don’t support me during Small Business Saturday, make sure at least half of your shopping list is purchased local this holiday season to support the passionate people in your community.

Being a part of Westerville has brought a new appreciation for what it means to feel grounded.

As someone who traveled for most of their adult life, stopping to plant and grow in a place that cultivates good sturdy roots has been eye-opening.

Thank you to Denise and Tracey for a wonderful experience in the town that I’m falling more and more in love with every day.

And if rejuvenating self care is your thing, check out my website in my bio and schedule your own de-stresser in the form of a massage with me. Let’s calm your nervous system together.
