Hi friends💜
Most of you know that this little one-woman practice grows almost entirely by word of mouth. Truly, every time you send someone my way, it means more than you probably realize.

So I’ve simplified my referral program.
Now you and your friend each receive $20 toward your next session every time you send someone my way.

No waiting, no tracking, just a thank you each time.

I am going to put a FAQ in the comments. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with any other questions.

Thanks so much for your support and trusting me with the people you care about!

If you’re looking for a thoughtful gift for Valentine’s Day, gift certificates are always available!

Thank you all so much for your patience while I’ve been on an extended break due to a family matter. I’m SO happy to share that I’ll officially be back to work next week!

Appointments are booking into February. Planning ahead is always recommended for preferred days/times.

I truly appreciate the understanding and support and can’t wait to be back in the treatment room!

Hope you all have been able to enjoy time with loved ones this holiday season! My books are officially closed for the year, so I thought this would be a good time to reflect.

This was my first year in a 100% private practice after reopening in May… and in a new country!!😰

Stepping away from the gray areas of contracting and into full independence wasn’t easy, but it gave me the space to grow towards my goals. This year reminded me that building something sustainable takes time and patience.

I’m SO thankful for the clients who trust me and value the work I do. You made this year what it was!

I’m proud of what I started here and looking forward to what's ahead.
ONWARD, CHAUNCEY!!🏇

Hey, Misawa!

After the recent earthquake and strong aftershocks, I know a lot of people here in Misawa (especially those new to Japan) are feeling literally shook! I’ve lived through some intense natural disasters in the States. One thing I’ve learned living with crippling anxiety is that fear quiets down when you have information and a plan.

Part of my training as a massage therapist includes understanding how the body holds anxiety, adrenaline, and fear. So if your shoulders feel locked up, your chest feels tight, or your back is aching today, that’s not “in your head.” Your body is processing what happened and is protecting you from what may come, hence the feelings of anxiety.

If you’re feeling tense or on edge right now, that’s a completely normal response. Your nervous system stays “alert” after a sudden event like that, and you start developing tense holding patterns. The lack of sleep many of us have definitely exacerbates all this!

A few things that can help:
• Learn what’s normal for Japan (aftershocks happen for days)
• Do one small preparedness task at a time so you don't feel overwhelmed and check your emergency supplies so you know you’re prepared. It gives your brain a sense of control
• Talk to someone who’s experienced a few quakes before
• Give yourself a minute to breathe deeply (your nervous system needs that reset)
• Limit doomscrolling for a bit and focus on your presence
• Move your body. Even stretching helps.

You’ll feel more grounded as your body realizes you’re safe again. Stress and tension are very real aftershocks too. Remember, you are not alone. We're all in this together.

December 23 will be the last day I'll be accepting appointments for the year. Grab your spot before the holidays!

✨ Community Giveaway Time! ✨

Things have been tough lately. The government shutdown has affected a lot of families, and I’ve had several clients who’ve had to cancel their sessions because of it. I completely understand; in times like these, massage truly is a luxury and not a priority.

I'm offering one free 60-minute massage to someone in our community who could really use the relief right now but can’t afford it.

If this sounds like something you or someone you know needs, see below for entry details! This can be gifted to a friend or family member.

🕘My hours are Monday, Wednesday-Friday from 9:00 AM to 3:30 PM. I am no longer able to accommodate session times beyond my working hours.
🐈‍⬛Sessions are held in my cat-friendly home on main base (please keep allergies in mind).

How to enter:
Just drop a comment below! (Like/follow my page to sprinkle on some good juju☺️✨) One entry per person.
I am closing entries on Sunday night at 8pm. Winner will be announced on Monday!

I’ve been a little quieter lately because things have been wonderfully busy. Last month was actually my busiest yet, and I am so grateful for you all!💆‍♀️💕

Reminder: I’m still setting aside part of my income from last month and this month to donate to a charity in the Philippines, so every session helps make a difference. 🌏✨

As of now, my next opening is on the 16th. Spots tend to go quickly once they’re available.

🛬 I’m back from the Philippines and ready to start taking appointments again!

On this Labor Day, I’m reminded not only of the progress workers have made in the U.S., but also of the vast inequalities I saw while traveling to the PI.

What struck me during my visit is that even with all the new development, there was still a lack of lasting infrastructure and deep systemic issues. It made me think about the importance of supporting work that builds real, long-term impact.. not just quick fixes.

That’s why from now until October 31, a portion of every session will be set aside to support organizations dedicated to creating lasting change for the future of the Philippines. This isn’t about one-time cleanups or temporary relief, but about focusing on the systemic issue (infrastructure, leadership, and civic development).

Here's a powerful collection of images in Manila that really captures the reality I witnessed firsthand: https://unequalscenes.com/manila

Thank you for being part of this journey with me💕
