Let’s keep Halloween on Hillcrest spooky—and stocked with candy! 🎃
For over 30 years, our neighbors on Hillcrest Ave have helped make Halloween special for thousands of local families. Feeding all those little monsters isn’t cheap, and candy prices have skyrocketed.
Last year, we donated over 3,000 pieces of candy. Help us beat that record this year!
Donate a bag, share this post, and help keep this Louisville tradition going without leaving our neighbors to foot the whole bill.
Message us to arrange a candy donation or drop one off at your next appointment! Every piece counts.

There’s a lot of Thai Massage education right now built around big, impressive-looking moves on extremely flexible bodies.
That’s not what I teach.
Why spend your CE hours learning a technique that 90% of your actual clients can’t comfortably get into or simply don’t need?
I teach real Thai Massage for real people. Different bodies. Different ages. Different mobility levels. Actual treatment rooms.

My goal isn’t to teach you the flashiest move for Instagram or competition. It’s to give you therapeutic techniques you can confidently pull out on Monday morning and actually use.
$100 secures your spot, or pay in full. I want quality continuing education to be accessible.
Come learn the stuff that works.
Wat Pho in Bangkok may be best known as the Temple of the Reclining Buddha, but it has also been an important center for preserving and teaching traditional Thai medicine for generations. It is also a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Tucked into the temple grounds are the Reusi Dat Ton statues — hermits demonstrating traditional self-stretching, movement, breathing, and self-care practices. Under King Rama III, 80 different postures were represented as part of Wat Pho’s effort to preserve Thai healing knowledge for future generations. 60 are left, and we have photos of 58 of them.
Basically, they were teaching bodywork through statues long before Instagram reels were a thing.
One of my favorite corners of Wat Pho.

Introducing Mindful Massage Meetups — a new monthly space for bodyworkers to connect, trade, learn, and build community.
Held the LAST Monday of every month from 5:30–8:30 PM at Sumana .
The evening will include open bodywork trades, an anatomy + discussion room, lounge space, snacks and refreshments, and plenty of opportunity to talk shop, sharpen your skills, network, and connect with other bodyworkers.
Trading bodywork is completely optional. There are no assigned partners, required modalities, or expectation that you give or receive a certain amount of time. Find someone you’d like to work with, communicate what you’re comfortable practicing or receiving, and make your own trade. Come ready to learn from each other—not to provide a perfect treatment.
This concept takes some influence from the community we’ve built through Kentucky Fried Thai Massage, but Mindful Massage Meetups are for all bodyworkers and all modalities. Bring what you know, share what you’re working on, and be open to something new.
$25 per person helps keep the meetup sustainable and allows us to provide the space, snacks, refreshments, supplies, and overall experience.
No pressure to perform. Just bodywork, conversation, learning, and community.
Last Monday of the month | 5:30–8:30 PM

A few years ago, this was just a pipe dream.
Saturday, I stood in front of another full room of therapists sharing a style of bodywork that completely changed my career.
That isn’t something I take for granted.
Every class adds another group of therapists carrying these techniques into their own practices, and together we are building something special in Kentucky.
Special thanks to our teaching assistants Amanda Vowels and Britt Wilkerson - the weekend wasn’t possible without your help.
More from the weekend coming in the next reel.
One of my favorite meals from our time in Thailand was at The Terracotta Garden in Lamphun. Tucked away among lush gardens, handcrafted terracotta artwork, and countless Reusi Dat Ton statues, it felt like a place where Thai culture, art, and food all came together.
The food was absolutely incredible, the mocktails were just as memorable, and every corner of the garden had something beautiful to discover. As someone who loves the history and traditions behind Thai massage, seeing so many Reusi Dat Ton figures made the experience even more special.
A huge thank you to Alex and Jim for introducing us to this hidden gem. It’s the kind of place we never would have found on our own, and it’s now one of my favorite memories from the trip.
If you ever find yourself near Lamphun, Thailand, this is a stop that’s well worth making.

20 manuals, 2 languages, and a SOLD OUT class this Saturday at Advanced Massage Therapeutics. My heart is full. A little over a year ago I decided to turn down my dream job offer and bet on myself. I think it has worked out.
Excited for all of the old and new faces and super GRATEFUL to be able to share what I love with fellow therapists.
