Sassy Saturday with Ellie 🐾

When you said we were going for a walk… but apparently you meant eventually. 🦮🥺

Your massage might help you feel better, but what you do between massages matters even more.

Our bodies are designed to be loaded. Walking gives our muscles, tendons, joints, and bones regular, manageable amounts of force that is helping them maintain the capacity to handle the demands of daily life.

You don’t need to crush a workout every day, sometimes you just need to walk the dog.

Ellie is waiting. And she is not amused. 😂🐾

Openings wit Crystal this Friday! - https://mailchi.mp/4cc2b38680b2/openings-wit-crystal-this-friday

Dear July Piña Colada from Active Culture,

We had something special.

You were creamy.
You were coconutty.
You were everything I wanted after a hot day.

Le sigh.

Farewell, you sweet little coconut gift in a cold glass.

I wasn’t ready to say goodbye.
Why does the best part of summer always seem to go by the fastest?

See you next July… I’ll be counting the days. 💛

Also... go book a massage for the weekend before they are all gone.

Thirsty Thursday 💦

If you look like this by 2 p.m…

It might be time for a glass of water.

August is hot. Your body is working hard to keep you cool.

Hydrate.
Move.
Rest.
Repeat.

Your muscles, brain, and nervous system will all thank you.

Hello friends,

I’m going to keep this simple and heartfelt.

The world feels especially heavy and tender right now. There is some sadness around with all of the fires burning, and the smoky air can make everything feel even closer and harder to carry. If you’re feeling it too, I hope you’ll be gentle with yourself. We all deserve moments of kindness, rest, and care even when the world makes those things feel difficult to reach.

With the smoky air outside, it’s an especially good time to care for our nervous systems and receive the support of touch. Valerie and I have massage openings this Friday, and Cathy has openings on Sunday, August 16th which is also her last day working at Halcyon.

I’ve also been using the vibroacoustic mat with clients, and many have found it deeply useful as both a gentle transition into massage and, afterward, back into the wider world. If this is something you are interested in trying out, respond to this email and we will get you set up!

We’ll resume sharing useful learning information once I find my way out of this email slump. For now, please take good care of yourselves, and hop onto Jane if you’d like to schedule an appointment. https://halcyonbend.janeapp.com/

Cute Dog photo below just because 🙂 Wiggles decided he wanted to sleep in a tiny bed too.

Warmly,

Crystal

Garden harvests. 🫐

Warm blueberries.
Cool water.
Simple moments.

Sometimes the sweetest parts of summer are the ones that ask us to slow down long enough to notice.

Happy Sunday.

Trees don’t rush to grow.

They simply keep reaching toward the light.

As you head into a new week, remember that rest is part of growth, not the opposite of it.

Wishing you a week filled with strength, peace, and moments that help you feel rooted.
