Pacific Haven Therapeutic Massage

🍿 LITTLE POP. BIG LIFT! 💚

We’re raising the table at Pacific Haven… literally! 🤭

October 2–9, I’m hosting a Double Good popcorn fundraiser to help purchase a hydraulic massage table for Pacific Haven Therapeutic Massage.

Here in downtown Indianapolis, I create space for people who carry a lot to slow down, receive care, and take some time for themselves. Now I’m asking for a little support of my own. 💚

And I hand-selected Double Good because their popcorn is DELICIOUS! So while you’re supporting a woman-owned small business, you’re also treating yourself to a delightful culinary snacking experience. 🍿😋

You don’t have to live in Indianapolis or ever book a massage to be part of this.

You get the snacks. I get the lift. Now that’s Double Good! 😂🙌🏽

📅 October 2–9

Every purchase helps, and sharing this post helps me reach someone new. Thank you for supporting the person behind the care!

🌙 Evening Reset

Before you move into the rest of your evening, check on your feet for a second.

Take 30 seconds.

🦶🏽 Stand naturally and notice your toes.

Are they resting against the floor?

Or are any of them gripping, curling, or pressing down?

Don’t force them to relax.

Just spread them slightly, let them settle, and notice what happens underneath your feet.

Now check again.

Does standing feel any different when your toes aren’t trying to help so much?

You may have been walking, standing, rushing, driving, working, or simply moving through your day without ever noticing what your toes were doing underneath you.

Sometimes the Reset is discovering effort you didn’t know you were making. 🌿💚

It’s only 11 AM, but your Saturday may already have some mileage on it.

Maybe you’ve run errands.

Driven somebody to practice or a game.

Made breakfast.

Cleaned something.

Picked something up.

Dropped somebody off.

Or handled the things you didn’t have time to get to during the week.

Before you move into the next part of your Saturday, take 30 seconds.

🚪 Stop at the next doorway you come to.

Before you walk through it, pause.

Feel your feet where they are.

Notice the space you’re leaving.

Then step through the doorway and let that be the end of that moment.

You don’t have to carry the pace of your morning into the rest of your day.

Sometimes a Reset is simply noticing:

I’m done with that. Now I’m here. 🌿💚

☀️ Midday Reset

There are probably sounds around you right now that your brain has stopped paying attention to.

Take 30 seconds.

👂🏽 Without looking for anything specific, notice one sound that has been there in the background.

An air conditioner.

Traffic.

A fan.

Voices down the hall.

Something outside.

Stay with that one sound for a few seconds.

Did it seem louder once you intentionally noticed it?

Nothing around you changed.

Your attention did. 🌿💚

This Saturday, September 26, Pacific Haven will be gifting massage sessions at Let’s Talk About It: All Men Matter, a free self-care event created specifically for men.

If there’s a man in your life who could use a little space to receive care, connect, and simply be, share the flyer with him and encourage him to register.

☀️ Midday Reset

How much effort are you using to sit right now?

Take 30 seconds.

Without changing your posture first, notice where your body is making contact with the chair.

Now gently press your back into it for about 3 seconds.

Release the pressure.

Don’t sit up straighter.

Don’t fix anything.

Just notice whether you can let the chair hold a little more of your weight.

Sometimes the discovery isn’t that your body needs to do something.

It’s realizing how much it was already doing. 🌿💚

That idea feels especially fitting this week.

🤲🏽 When was the last time you gave your own hands a little care?

Wrap one hand around the opposite thumb.

Gently squeeze and hold for 3 seconds.

Release.

Move to the next finger.

Continue until you’ve held each one.

Then switch hands.

When you’re finished, let both hands rest for a moment.

Notice what remains.

Warmth?

Tingling?

Maybe your hands simply feel a little different because, for 30 seconds, they were receiving instead of doing. 🌿💚

That idea feels especially meaningful to me today.

Next Saturday, Pacific Haven will be gifting massage sessions at Let’s Talk About It: All Men Matter, a free self-care event created specifically for men to receive care, support, and space to simply be.

If there’s a man in your life who could use some time to receive instead of always doing, share this flyer with him. Registration is required. 💚

This Saturday, I’m thinking about the men in our lives.

The ones who work. Provide. Show up. Handle things. Keep moving.

They deserve moments that count too.

Next Saturday, September 26, I’ll be one of the women-led vendors showing up to pour into the men at the Let’s Talk About It: All Men Matter event.

Men, consider this your invitation to come spend an afternoon being on the receiving end of some care.

And ladies, if there’s a man in your life who could use an afternoon like that, send this to him and encourage him to register.

It’s FREE, but registration is required.

📅 Saturday, September 26
⏰ 3:00–7:30 PM
📍 2424 E. 55th Place, Indianapolis

Come eat. Enjoy the music. Have some fun. Receive some care.

This Saturday, maybe take a minute to make sure a man you care about knows this space is being created for him. 💚

☀️ Midday Reset

🎯 Feel what happens beneath your hands when your body moves.

Sit comfortably with both feet on the floor.

Place your hands around the sides of your lower ribs. 🤲🏽

Keeping your hips facing forward, gently lean a little to the right.

Return to center.

Then gently lean to the left.

Repeat 3 times.

Pay attention to what happens beneath your hands.

Can you feel one side of your ribs getting closer together while the other side creates more space?

That’s it. 🌿💚

Sometimes putting your hands on the movement lets you experience your own body in a way movement alone doesn’t.

Indianapolis men, this space was created with you in mind. 💚

Join us for “Let’s Talk About It: All Men Matter”—a free afternoon filled with care, good food, music, games, and genuine brotherhood.

Take some time to relax and be poured into with complimentary barbering, esthetician services, and massages gifted by Pacific Haven Therapeutic Massage. Afterward, the space is yours: a welcoming opportunity for men to support one another, speak openly, and work through real life together.

🎯 Notice what happens when your ankles move without your feet leaving the floor.

Sit comfortably with both feet flat.

👣 Keep your heels down and slowly lift your toes toward you.

Pause for 3 seconds.

Lower them.

Repeat 5 times.

Now let both feet rest completely.

Notice what remains through the front of your ankles and lower legs.

Maybe warmth.

Maybe a little more awareness.

Maybe they simply feel different than they did 30 seconds ago. 🌿💚

Sometimes the smallest movement is enough to remind you that a part of your body has been sitting quietly in the background all day.
