I will be helping Kathleen of Shanti Wellness Studio during their Yin Yoga & Massage event on May 29th @ 7:30PM 🧘‍♀️

If you are interested in signing up & learning more, visit the post for more information 🌱

Give yourself permission to slow down. 😌

Join us for a deeply soothing 90-minute Yin Yoga & Massage experience designed to calm the nervous system, release tension, and invite full-body rest.

During this special offering, you’ll be guided through gentle, long-held yin and restorative postures. This month Kathleen will be accompanied by Anna Kwiatkowski and Alex Urbs. They will move through the room offering hands-on massage with oil, supportive touch, and gentle adjustments to help the body soften and unwind.

This is your invitation to pause, breathe, and receive.
Whether you’ve been carrying stress in the body, feeling mentally overwhelmed, or simply craving a moment of stillness, this experience offers space to reconnect and restore.

✳︎ as massage therapists, we encounter the good to the bad + everything in between that people are going through. From pregnancy announcements, loss, births, deaths, diagnoses, new homes, promotions, first steps, last breaths, job losses, relationship losses, first dates, to ordinary mundane days + stresses

✢ intuitive + empathetic practitioners create the space for clients to 𝖇𝖗𝖊𝖆𝖙𝖍𝖊 + just be

✳︎ sometimes we take things on unknowingly + need implement non-negotiable boundaries with our self-care and physical health outside of the treatment room, allowing us to show up even better for those who show up on our tables

✢ here are some ways to tend to yourself as the person who tends to others:

↠ book yourself in for services when you can:
‣ weekly treatments may not be realistic for most, but maybe find something seasonally to do
‣ try a blend of manual work + energetic work to help better balance yourself

↠ romanticize your off days:
‣ pivot the urge to mindlessly scroll when you have down time
‣ write out what your ideal free day looks like + see if you can do 1 or 2 realistic things on that list

↠ enjoyable movement:
‣ whether it's walking, weekly pilates or cycling classes, a yoga practice — finding the time to move is essential for massage therapists
‣ adding heavy weight-training days a few times a week will help strengthen our bodies which will increase the longevity in our careers

↠ lean into community:
‣ reach out to other massage therapists, friends, family + talk about any struggles you may be experiencing
‣ 𝖌𝖔 𝖙𝖔 𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗𝖆𝖕𝖞

↠ go touch grass:
‣ we are cooped up in dark quiet rooms for most of our days, take advantage of the good weather when you can

✳︎ I've been working on implementing these things into my own self-tending lately with walking / gym 2-3x a week, increasing my water intake, booking in regular massages, reading more, and this girl is going back to therapy next month✨. I also have a weekend planned coming up that will be filled with breakfasts in bed, buying a bouquet of flowers, gardening + journaling in a coffee shop all by myself

✳︎ if you are a woman who is starved for intentional, platonic touch + bodywork — booking yourself in for regular massage appointments may just be what you + your body needs.

✢ generally speaking, women who are in hetero-normative relationships tend to speak about the frustrations of asking their partners for a massage.

✳︎ From worrying about the additional "expectations" for asking, the wandering hands, the one-handed back rubs, to the tired thumbs + hands after 5 minutes of massaging — your nervous system becomes activated, you feel irritated + worse than before.

✢ massage therapists require extensive schooling, hundreds of hours of clinical hands-on practice + need to successfully pass multiple board exams to become registered. We are trained to thoroughly + consensually tend to your musculoskeletal + nervous system ― we are here to support you.

✳︎ you may have noticed that I haven't been active on here has much lately ― I made the decision to delete my social media apps off my phone at the beginning of the month.

✢ my mental + energetic health was taking a toll from scrolling a bit too much, and so I decided to refocus my attention on more beneficial things ― reading, moving my body, doing the tasks that I've been putting off + spending time with myself distraction free.

✳︎ if you are inquiring about services, booking, or needing to change your appointment ― please feel free to reach out via text / email.

✢ I will still be accessible via social media when I check my computer ― so it may take longer for a response.

✳︎ happy spring equinox + ostara, friends!

⟐ today marks a balance of light + dark, many will feel a shift in energy as mother nature begins her slow awakening

⟐ here are some of my favourite ways to celebrate:
・go outside + notice new life – what perennials are popping up already? do you see any buds on the trees? how many different birds to you hear?
• open the windows + let the fresh air flow through your home
• shake out + lay out your rugs outside
• bake breads + treats
• craft + indulge in creativity
• journal about what you're grateful for + what you're hoping to learn this season

⟐ I was lucky enough to have this day off to be able to sleep in with my partner, have a slow morning, tackle doing some laundry, chip away at my taxes, enjoy slow sips of coffee, intentionally light a few candles, all while having the blinds + windows open to watch the birds on our feeder

⟐ if you're looking for ways to tend + ground yourself this season, my foot reflexology treatment is a modality that you may be looking for — if you're curious about it you can learn more by visiting the link in bio, or send me a message!

✺ hello, friends! For the safety of my female / female-presenting clients, I would like to introduce my life partner, Nicolas Lamoureux. He is a licensed architect in Ontario, Michigan, Ohio + Florida.

✳︎ he works for a small architecture firm in Detroit, and sometimes will work from home during the week.

✺ if he is working from home while I have treatments, he quietly stays tucked away in his office, not to disturb my sessions or clients.
