Have you ever heard of Reiki? Keep reading to learn more...

If you've been curious about Reiki but weren't sure what it actually is, what it feels like, or whether it's "for you" — this is for you.

I want to take a moment to share something I am deeply passionate about, because I truly believe it has the power to change how you feel in your body and in your life, and I absolutely love giving people this rare experience.

What Is Reiki?

Reiki (pronounced ray-kee) is an ancient healing technique whose name translates directly to "healing life force energy." The word comes from two Japanese words Rei, meaning universal or divine, and Ki, meaning life energy. Together, they describe the invisible but very real energy that flows through every living thing.

Reiki is based on the principle that when our life force energy is low or blocked due to stress, trauma, grief, illness, or simply the weight of daily life...we feel it. We feel it as tension, anxiety, fatigue, emotional heaviness, and physical pain. Reiki works by channeling healing energy through the practitioner's hands into the recipient, helping to restore balance, release blockages, and bring the body back into a state of harmony.

A Brief History

Reiki as a formal practice was developed in Japan in the early 1900s by a man named Mikao Usui, following a period of deep meditation and spiritual fasting on Mount Kurama. He described receiving the knowledge and ability to use Reiki as a gift, a sudden awakening of healing energy that he then dedicated his life to sharing with others.

From Japan, Reiki traveled to the West in the mid-20th century, brought to Hawaii and then the mainland United States by Hawayo Takata, a Japanese American woman who experienced remarkable healing through Reiki after a serious illness. She trained 22 Reiki Masters before her passing in 1980, and from those 22, the practice spread across the entire Western world.

Today, Reiki is practiced in hospitals, hospices, cancer treatment centers, and wellness clinics around the globe. The National Institutes of Health recognizes it as a complementary health approach, and its popularity has grown steadily as more people seek holistic, non-invasive ways to support their mental and physical wellbeing.

Why Is Reiki So Popular Right Now?

We are living in a time of extraordinary stress. Anxiety, burnout, overstimulation, and disconnection from ourselves have become almost universal experiences. People are searching, not just for relief, but for something that feels real. Something that goes deeper than a quick fix and helps us truly connect to ourselves.

Reiki answers that call. It doesn't require you to believe anything specific, follow any religion, or do anything at all, you simply receive. And in a world where we are constantly giving, doing, and producing, being held in a space where all you have to do is be is profoundly healing in itself.

Reiki has also gained traction because science is beginning to catch up with what practitioners have known for centuries — that the mind and body are inseparable, that stress lives in the body as physical tension, and that deep states of relaxation are not a luxury but a biological necessity.

What a Session With Me Looks Like

I want to be very clear about something: Reiki only comes from a well-intentioned and pure place. When I offer Reiki, I am holding space for you completely, unconditionally, and without judgment. My only intention is your highest good. There is nothing to fear, nothing to prove, and nothing to perform. You are safe.

During a session, you remain fully clothed and lie comfortably on the table. I place my hands lightly on or just above different areas of the body, allowing healing energy to flow where it is needed most. Many clients describe feeling a gentle warmth, a tingling sensation, or a deep wave of calm washing over them. Some see colors or images. Some simply drift into the most peaceful sleep they've had in years.

What I hear most often afterward is: "I didn't know I could feel that relaxed."

That is the gift of Reiki. It shows you what a truly meditative, blissful state feels like, not as a concept, but as a lived, felt experience in your own body. For many people, it is the first time they have ever truly let go or have ever actually felt that relaxed. Reiki can introduce you to what meditation feels like and the states of consciousness we are able to reach on our own if we practice.

Every Session Includes Crystals & Sound Healing

All of my Reiki sessions are complemented with crystals and sound healing — two powerful tools that deepen the energetic work and help your nervous system settle even further into a state of peace. Together, they create an experience that is unlike anything else.

Adding sound healing to a Reiki session can deepen relaxation by giving the nervous system something rhythmic and predictable to focus on. Singing bowls, chimes, and sustained tones may help slow breathing, reduce mental chatter, and encourage a more meditative state, which can make it easier for a client to settle into the session and become more aware of subtle sensations in the body. The sound also adds a physical component through vibration, which many people experience as grounding and soothing.

Used together, Reiki and sound healing can create a more immersive mind-body experience: Reiki provides the quiet, intentional energy-work component, while sound adds vibration, rhythm, and sensory focus helping the session feel more grounding, cleansing, and restorative. I always tell my clients that when I've experienced sound healing, it feels like the sound frequencies are going right through me and cleansing my insides, which is a very profound experience.

Choose the Session That Feels Right for You

Not sure where to start? The 30 Minute Session is a beautiful introduction but you can also add Reiki onto your massage which is enough time to feel the energy shift and leave you wanting more.

The 60 Minute Session is ideal if you're working through emotional or physical blockages. And the 90 Minute Session is a full-body journey, a complete release of tension and a deep exploration of your own inner stillness.

There is no wrong choice. Your body will know, listen to it. You deserve to feel that good.

If you've been on the fence, let this be your sign. I would be so honored to hold healing space for you. 💜

With love,
Nicole

Fall Into Self Care
The seasonal reset and restore that your energy field is craving

There is something unmistakable about the shift into fall. The air changes. The light changes. The energy changes. And whether you're consciously aware of it or not — your body and your energetic field feel it too.

This is not just a poetic observation. The changing of seasons has been recognized across cultures and centuries as a powerful threshold, a time when the veil between the physical and spiritual worlds grows thinner, energy becomes denser, and the need for intentional cleansing and realignment becomes greater than at almost any other time of year.

Why This Time of Year Specifically Calls for an Energy Reset...

As we move through October and approach Halloween, known in ancient Celtic tradition as Samhain, the spiritual energy around us becomes particularly dense. This is the time of year when the boundary between the living world and the spiritual realm is at its thinnest. For centuries, this threshold has been honored as a sacred time for reflection, release, and renewal which I would be honored to facilitate for you.

What that means practically is this: the energetic environment around us is heavier right now. You may notice it as a sense of emotional weight, unexplained fatigue, heightened anxiety, vivid dreams, or simply feeling like something is off without being able to name it. You may feel more sensitive to the energies and spirits around you, more reactive, or more depleted than usual. This is not in your head. It is a real energetic phenomenon that affects us whether we acknowledge it or not, especially in an indigenous area.

An intentional energy cleanse at the change of seasons, and particularly in the fall helps you release what has accumulated, clear stagnant or heavy energy from your field, adds a layer of spiritual protection, and helps you step into the next season feeling lighter, more grounded, and more like yourself.

Think of it the way you think about changing your air filter, or doing a deep clean of your home before winter. Your energetic body deserves the same care.

Introducing: The Fall Into Self Care Intuitive Healing Session

This is a 90-minute (or more) immersive healing experience designed specifically for this season combining three of the most powerful healing modalities I offer into one deeply restorative session.

Reiki — Healing life force energy is channeled through my hands into your body, working to clear blockages, restore balance, and bring your nervous system into a state of deep calm. Reiki works on the physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual levels simultaneously, releasing what no longer serves you and restoring flow where energy has become stuck or stagnant.

Sound Healing — Sound frequencies have been used for thousands of years to shift energetic states and promote healing. During your session, sound healing is woven in to help your brain and body drop into deeper states of relaxation, amplify the Reiki work, and create a vibrational environment that supports true release and restoration.

Guided Meditation — I will guide you through a meditation tailored to the season and to what your body and spirit need in the moment. This is your opportunity to be fully present with yourself to breathe, to let go, and to arrive somewhere quieter inside.

I always give extra time. This session is listed at 90 minutes, but I will never rush you out the door. You will leave when your body is ready.

The Perfect Reset — Before, During, and After the Holidays

This session isn't just for the spiritual season — it's also one of the most practical gifts you can give yourself heading into the holidays.

Before the holidays: Clear the energetic residue of the year so far. Release the stress, the grief, the tension, and the emotional weight you've been carrying — and walk into November and December feeling genuinely clear and grounded instead of already depleted.

During the holiday season: When the pace picks up and the demands multiply, a healing session becomes an anchor. A place to come back to yourself in the middle of the chaos.

After the holidays: The post-holiday period carries its own heaviness, the comedown, the fatigue, the emotional residue of family, expectations, and the end of another year. A session in January can be one of the most powerful resets of all.

Whenever you come, the timing is right. Your energy is always worth tending to. 💜

This specific special is available for 30 days only. Book your session before it's gone.

With love,
Nicole

I'm finally moving my body again, and you should too 💜

Hi everyone,

Tonight I want to talk about something I feel strongly about and share something a little personal while I'm at it.

After a good amount of time away, I am finally back at the gym. And honestly? It feels really good to say that.

💜 We All Ebb and Flow

I know that life happens, gets full, motivation changes, and routines that used to feel good quietly fall away. I know this firsthand because didn't go to the gym for a while for a lot of reasons. Sometimes we just fall off the wagon.

But eventually, we have to ask ourselves: are we going to find our way back, or keep waiting for the perfect time, the perfect mood, the perfect plan, and probably a personal assistant to make it all happen?

One thing that got in my way was turning exercise into a whole production. I had signed up for a gym in St. Joe and convinced myself I'd go all the time, and at first I did. I liked the idea of using the hot tub and steam room after working out and been able to pamper myself in that way. It was and is amazing, but going to the gym had turned into a 4 to 5 hour ordeal, and ain't nobody got time for that! The workout itself didn't need to be that complicated, but between that and the drive, I accidentally signed up for a gym and a second full time job.

What I've had to remind myself, and what I want to remind you, is this: movement does not have to be an elaborate event to matter.

A Walk Counts. Dancing Around Your House Counts. It All Counts.

Yoga counts, strength training counts, so does doing 20 or 30 minutes and then going home without spending hours at the gym and overdoing it or burning yourself out.

The U.S. guidelines recommend that adults work toward 150–300 minutes of moderate-intensity activity each week, plus muscle-strengthening activity at least two days a week. That might sound like a lot when you're starting from zero, but it can be built up in smaller chunks. Twenty or thirty minutes of movement is not nothing. It's a start, and it contributes to the bigger picture.

And here's the bigger picture: our bodies adapt to what we ask of them and to what we stop asking of them. Muscle strength, endurance, balance, and flexibility help us do everyday things. Getting up from a chair. Climbing stairs. Carrying groceries. Moving with confidence. As we age, regular activity helps protect physical function and independence. There is no single workout that guarantees perfect mobility forever, but consistently moving, strengthening, and working within a safe range can help us maintain the abilities we want to keep using.

💜 Coming from a Massage Therapist Who Works with Bodies Every Day...

We need to stop convincing ourselves that movement isn't important, especially if we want to keep our range of motion and stay able to do the things we love throughout our lives and into old age.

Your muscles won't send you a passive aggressive text about skipping the gym. But they do adapt to disuse by losing strength and endurance. If we keep avoiding movement when we're able to move, we can't be surprised when ordinary movement starts to feel harder. A lot of people don't think about that part until they're already frustrated by what their body can no longer do as easily. We deserve to think about future us before we're cursing present us from the bottom of the stairs.

And I want to be clear: this is not me calling anyone lazy. Pain, disability, illness, exhaustion, caregiving, limited time, and lack of access to safe places to exercise are real barriers. I understand that personally. I've dealt with chronic pain in my foot since I was born, and I know what it's like to have to work around a body that doesn't always cooperate. Movement can look different for different people and sometimes that means adapting an exercise, choosing a gentler option, or getting guidance from a health professional. It does not mean ignoring pain or forcing your body through something that feels wrong.

But for those of us who can find some safe way to move and keep putting it off, I think we need to be honest with ourselves about that too.

💜 What the Research Says

A Cochrane review looked at 249 studies involving more than 24,000 adults with chronic low-back pain. People who received exercise therapy reported an average 15-point improvement in pain on a 0–100 scale compared with those receiving no treatment — around three months after treatment began. That result applies specifically to chronic low-back pain, and it doesn't mean exercise will fix every kind of pain. But it does support the idea that appropriate movement can be a meaningful part of caring for our bodies.

As a massage therapist, I believe massage is an important part of self care. We all deserve time to rest, receive care, and let our bodies soften. But self care is also about supporting the life we want to live outside the massage room. Massage and movement can both have a place: one gives us a chance to receive care, and the other helps us build strength, balance, and confidence over time.

💜 I'm Back and Keeping It Simple

I'm listening to my body, building my routine gradually, and reminding myself that I don't have to do everything in one day. I won't ask my clients to do something I'm unwilling to work on myself.

So let this be your reminder: start where you are. Take a walk. Stretch. Put on a song and dance. Try a short workout. You don't need to punish yourself into being healthy. You just need to stop talking yourself out of every opportunity to care for your body.

It feels good to be back and I hope you find your way back into your own flow, too. 💜

With care,
Nicole

Why Movement Matters - Inspirational Read Click here for an update from Space of Love!

I just wanted to let all of you know that I am officially rested, refreshed, back from vacation and taking appointments again starting tomorrow Thursday September 24th, 2026!

I still have availability on my schedule tomorrow and next week, in case you were wondering when I would be back and wanting to get on my table for some much needed maintenance, relaxation, or BOTH because massage usually provides that and so much more.

I’m also excited for what’s coming next.

Space of Love will be going through a major transformation over the coming months with new services, upgraded treatments, new tools, and improvements to the studio itself. I’m always looking for ways to make the experience better for my clients, and sometimes that means taking a little longer to make sure what I introduce is truly high quality and worth the investment.

I’m looking forward to seeing all of you again and continuing to make progress on the upgrades I’ve been talking about. I want every change at Space of Love to feel intentional, elevated, and genuinely valuable to the people who trust me with their care, which I am so grateful for.

I hope to see you soon! Book your next session below...

BACK FROM VACATION + COMING SOON... Click here for an update from Space of Love!

𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐨𝐟 𝐋𝐨𝐯𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞! 𝐑𝐞𝐚𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐥𝐨𝐰...

𝐈 𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐡𝐚𝐯𝐞 𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐢𝐥𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐨𝐰 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐝𝐚𝐲 (𝟎𝟓/𝟖 & 𝟎𝟓/𝟗) 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬!!!

Mother’s Day is this week, and I wanted to create something intentional for the women who spend so much of their lives taking care of everyone else.

As a massage therapist, I see this all the time. Women come in carrying so much in their bodies, and it is rarely just “normal tension.” It is the kind of tension that comes from always being on, always being needed, always remembering the thing everyone else forgot, always holding the emotional temperature of the room, and still somehow trying to function like their own body does not need anything.

Motherhood is beautiful, but it is also physical. It lives in the shoulders from carrying babies, bags, groceries, stress, and everyone’s emotional baggage like it came with a rewards program. It lives in the neck from looking down, reaching forward, driving everyone everywhere, and being in a constant state of “what now?” It lives in the low back, the hips, the jaw, the breath, the sleep, and the nervous system. And over time, so many women start to normalize feeling tense, tired, overstimulated, and under-cared-for.

The statistics really do reflect what so many women already feel. The U.S. Surgeon General reported that 33% of parents experienced high stress in the past month, compared to 20% of other adults, and nearly half of parents said that most days their stress feels completely overwhelming. That is not just “being busy.” That is a nervous system living in survival mode for too long. And a recent Mother’s Day survey found that 46% of moms said they feel like they are in survival mode, 42% said they have not had a good night’s sleep in weeks, and 33% said one of the things they wanted most for Mother’s Day was a spa day.

Honestly, that makes perfect sense to me. Sometimes the best gift is not another thing she has to store, clean, organize, wear, return, or politely pretend she loves. Sometimes the best gift is a quiet room, a warm table, calming music, intentional bodywork, and one uninterrupted window of time where nobody needs anything from her. No questions. No noise. No performing. Just a chance for her body to finally exhale.

Mother’s Day itself began in the early 1900s as a way to honor the love, devotion, and sacrifices of mothers. Over time, of course, it became commercialized because capitalism saw flowers and greeting cards and said, “I can absolutely monetize this.” But I still believe the heart of the holiday matters. It should not just be about buying something because we are supposed to. It should be about actually seeing the woman behind all the giving.

That is why massage and spa gift cards have become such meaningful Mother’s Day gifts. They are personal without being complicated. They give someone time, care, relief, and choice. They say, “I see how much you do, and I want you to have a moment where you are the one being taken care of.” And for many women, especially the ones who rarely book something like this for themselves, that kind of gift can feel deeply meaningful.

So from May 4th through May 10th, I’m offering three Mother’s Day specials at Space of Love. You may choose ONE of the following offers:

💫 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐆𝐥𝐨𝐰 & 𝐌𝐞𝐥𝐭 𝐑𝐢𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥 — $𝟏𝟓𝟓
This is the most luxurious Mother’s Day option. It is a 90 minute – 2 hour experience designed to help the body soften, release, and reset. This session includes customized massage, gua sha facial work, lymphatic drainage, extended scalp and neck focus, hot stones, aromatherapy, and optional sound healing. This is for the woman who does not just need “a massage,” but needs a full-body reset and a space where her nervous system can finally stop bracing.

💫 𝟏𝟓% 𝐎𝐟𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
60 Minute Massage — $60
90 Minute Massage — $85
This is a simple, intentional option for anyone who has been needing to get back on the table or wants to gift someone a deeply needed reset.

💫 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐆𝐢𝐟𝐭 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐒𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥
Purchase any gift card and receive a FREE add-on. This is a beautiful option if you want to give someone flexibility while still making the gift feel extra special.

A few important details:

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐌𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫’𝐬 𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝐬𝐩𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐫𝐮𝐧𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟒𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟏𝟎𝐭𝐡.

You must purchase your gift card or book your appointment by May 10th, digital gift cards are also available.

𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐦𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐛𝐞 𝐛𝐨𝐨𝐤𝐞𝐝 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐡 𝐨𝐟 𝐌𝐚𝐲. You may choose one Mother’s Day special, and offers cannot be combined or stacked.

Each gift card purchase comes with a free add-on!

Availability is limited, especially around Mother’s Day weekend, so I recommend booking sooner rather than later if you have a specific day or time in mind.

You can book online here:
space-of-love.square.site

You can also reply directly to this email if you have questions or want help choosing the best option.

Whether this is for your mom, your wife, your daughter, your friend, or yourself, I hope this is a reminder that care is not selfish. Especially for the women who have spent so much of their lives giving it.

They deserve to receive too.

Blessings,
Nicole
