June is Lipedema Awareness Month 💜

As we begin the first week of Lipedema Awareness Month, I wanted to share something a little more personal.

For years, I've worked with clients navigating swelling, pain, and lymphatic concerns. Along the way, I also began to recognize many of the signs of lipedema in my own body. While my journey is still unfolding, it has given me a deeper appreciation for how frustrating it can be to feel like you're doing all the "right things" and still not getting the answers or results you expect.

Lipedema is a chronic connective tissue disorder that primarily affects women and causes a painful, disproportionate buildup of fat tissue—most often in the legs, hips, buttocks, and sometimes the arms. It is not simply caused by overeating, inactivity, or lack of willpower.

Many people with lipedema are told to "just lose weight," when the reality is far more complex. That misunderstanding can leave people feeling discouraged, ashamed, and unseen.

Common signs include: 💜 Pain, tenderness, or heaviness in the legs or arms
💜 Easy bruising
💜 Swelling that worsens throughout the day
💜 A noticeable difference between the size of the lower body and upper body
💜 Difficulty losing fat in affected areas despite healthy lifestyle changes

One of the reasons awareness matters so much to me is that so many people spend years searching for answers. The more we talk about lipedema, the more likely someone will recognize themselves in the conversation and find the support they deserve.

Throughout June, I'll be sharing education, resources, and supportive strategies for those living with lipedema and other lymphatic conditions.

If this resonates with you, you're not alone. 💜

✨ Looking for Ways to Save on Your Sessions? ✨

Taking care of your body shouldn't feel out of reach. That's why I offer a few ways to make regular care more affordable.

💚 Teacher, 1st Responders, and Veterans/Active Service Mrmbers Appreciation Discount receive $10 off every session as a small thank you for all that you do.

💚 Wellness Program Savings For clients who come regularly:

🌿 2 sessions per month

Regular care can be especially beneficial for managing chronic tension, stress, swelling, headaches, TMJ issues, injury recovery, and supporting overall wellness.

Many clients find that consistent sessions help them maintain progress and often need less intensive work over time.

If you're curious whether the Wellness Program or Teacher Discount is right for you, feel free to ask at your next appointment or send me a message.

✨ Because wellness should be accessible, not occasional.

Discount and Wellness Program discounts cannot be combined.

My Why ✨

People often ask why I chose this path… why massage therapy, lymphatic work, energy balancing, Reiki, Ayurveda, yoga, nervous system care… why this.

The truth is simple.

Because I know what it feels like to need support. To need someone to hold space. To need help finding your way back to yourself.

Over the years, I have been deeply impacted by the people who showed up for me — teachers, healers, mentors, friends, family, and moments of kindness that arrived exactly when I needed them. Their support changed me.

This work is my way of giving back.

Every session is more than massage to me. It is creating a space where people can exhale. A space to feel safe, heard, supported, and maybe reconnect with parts of themselves that have been carrying too much for too long.

I don’t believe healing is something we do alone.

I believe we guide each other.

Thank you to every person who has trusted me to walk alongside them on their journey. It is an honor I never take lightly. 🤍

✨ With lovingkindness, always.

You are always allowed to ask questions. 💚

Before your session.
During your session.
After your session.

Questions about pressure? Ask.
Wondering why a technique is being used? Ask.
Need an extra blanket, different positioning, more quiet, less quiet, a break, or something explained differently? Ask.

Your body is not an inconvenience. Your comfort matters. Your preferences matter.

Massage and bodywork should never feel like something being done to you — it is something we create with you. You are always in control of your care. ✨

Whether you need gentler pressure, more support, a slower pace, or simply reassurance… your voice belongs in the treatment room.

At Lovingkindness Bodyworks, your session is allowed to look different because you are different. 🌿
