Bluem Herbal Bodywork

I've attended the classes, and played around on my own with the techniques. I'm officially adding Myofascial Release as a separate service to book!

It's not just another modality of massage. It's a whole different approach to bodywork, It works with fascia. Fascia is a form of connective tissue that touches every system in the body. It's going beyond just muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and addressing how these tissues function together as a whole. Even though the approach is gentle at first, the work still gets deep just like massage therapy. In fact myofascial release is a great adjunct to massage, PT, stretching and any other methods of self-care!

The booking options are 30 minute and 1 hour sessions. These can be booked as stand-alone sessions or bought as a package of 3 for cumulative sessions!

I'm here to answer any questions you may have! I'm thrilled to be offering this service, and I hope it helps you guys stay mobile and with less pain in your day-to-day lives! 💙

Reaching a plateau can feel discouraging. It doesn't have to be. A teacher once told me "If it starts to feel easy, good! Keep doing it." The same is true for bodywork! We'll have some sessions where it feels like a lot is getting worked out. We'll have other sessions where it feels just... meh. Like regular maintenance.

Quick reminder that regular maintenance is still a requirement to maintain function! You don't stop getting oil changes after your first one do you? You don't wait until your car sounds like a rattling heap of scrap before getting another oil change do you? Why treat your body, the thing that lets you live, any different?

Moreover, having a place of non-judgement to go and actually rest can be more therapeutic than attempting to force some kind of change. A place to just breathe. A place to stop clenching and posturing yourself perfectly.

Next week is a full moon week! If you are scheduled, enjoy your full moon discount. If not, maybe this is your sign to come lay on my table.

The new certifications!!

I've been back from the MFR classes for a couple weeks, and am slowly figuring out how to add it to my list of services. Stay tuned, it will be on there by June!

No clients this Monday! If you're off, I hope you enjoy the long weekend!

This August will make 7 whole years of business in my current location, and how lucky am I that I have been able to stay stable here with little to no problems. That being said, in July I start moving into a new office space! Here's what you need to know:

I'll be renting a house that has a whole client space built into it!

It's only about 6 minutes from my current office, so it shouldn't add too much extra commute to your trip.

There is a separate entrance that will be clearly marked and easy to access.

Your appointment times won't change a bit, and neither will the quality of massage therapy you receive.

I will have no roommates or pets, so no worries about others wandering in during an appointment.

More details to come. Thank you all for being so on-board with this change! I'm thrilled, to say the least, and really look forward to having a new place for you all. As always, please reach out if you have questions or concerns. I'm here to help you feel as comfortable as I can with this change.

Friendly reminder that next week I leave for continuing education!

I'll be on a beach learning the John Barne's method of Myofascial Release. The office and schedule will be closed from 4/28 - 5/12. There will be a few hours each week set aside that I can respond to any questions while I'm away. Please, don't hesitate to reach out if you need to!

I'm excited to come back with new methods to help you get the most out of your appointments! 💙

One of the greatest gifts you can give your mind is a moment of rest. Even a time a small as a few seconds can change how you feel, let you redirect your mindset, or decompress before a big moment. Like pennies, small moments add up!

I've been very fortunate to have a solidly packed schedule this year, but I do have some spots open later this week and next week! 😄

There will be no yoga classes from April 28th to May 12th so that I can get some continuing education for massage therapy! There will be in person reminder in class leading up to those dates so that you don't forget. Even though the class is for massage therapy, I'm certain I will find some yoga application for it as well.

If you have any question please feel free to reach out. Thank you! 💙
