The Laine to Wellness

A little reminder: my massage table is still very much open. 😉

The Laine to Wellness has been growing. More sound baths. More workshops. More community and corporate experiences. More opportunities to create wellness outside of the treatment room.

And I love all of it.

But there’s still something about the one-on-one nature of massage. Time to actually listen to what your body has been saying.

Massage is where so much of this started for me, and it’s still a very important part of what I do.

So between the sound bowls, events, workshops and all the new things you see me creating…Yes, I’m still taking massage clients. 😂

OCTOBER IS OPEN WITH LIMITED AVAILABILITY

Friday is almost here, and Autumn Equinox has turned into such a full little evening ya’ll. 🤎

We’re gathering at Hotel Dryce at 7 PM and the experience will feel different…

You’ll settle in with wireless headphones for a Silent Sound Bath, so the sound travels with you even while we’re outside under the evening sky.

Afterward, we’ll head into the Hotel Library for dinner provided by PF Chang’s, and Hotel Dryce created a special Equinox Spritz mocktail just for the evening that’ll be available for purchase at the bar. 🍹

And because apparently I like giving away massages 😂, two guests are going home with a 60-minute Hot Stone Massage from The Laine to Wellness.

If you’ve been thinking about coming and are in town, come join us!

📍 Hotel Dryce | Fort Worth
📅 Friday, September 18
🕖 Gathering begins at 7 PM

On this day 4 years ago, I officially became a licensed massage therapist! 🎉🎉🎉 this life actually called me when I was much younger…I remember massaging my stepfathers crusty old feet 🫠🤭 and I enjoyed it! 😂

Many many years later the call came back and I’m so grateful I answered. Aside from fulfilling a dream career in becoming a professional dancer, this work is also satisfying me in ways words can’t express.

For those that have trusted me with your wellbeing through touch, THANK YOU!

Cheers to year 4! 💚💚💚💚

Let’s talk about your shoulders for a second

If your shoulders feel heavy, tight, or like they’re constantly sitting up near your ears, this is not just “normal tension”

Your upper traps are doing more work than they’re supposed to

This usually comes from
- Holding stress in the body (carrying “the weight of the world”)
- Poor posture over time (lack of support in your life)
- Always being in a forward position (always in a rush)
- Never fully letting the shoulders drop and reset (all gas, no breaks)

What happens is the body adapts
So now your “normal” is tension

When I’m working in this area I’m not just pressing into muscle
I’m slowing things down
Listening to the muscles (yes they speak!)
Working through fascia (more on this later, I’ll break it down for ya)
Helping the body actually let go instead of just pushing through it

There’s a difference between temporary relief and actual release

Most people haven’t felt what real release in this area feels like yet. Because it’s beyond just the physical
