Advanced Massage by Kim

As July comes to a close and we look ahead to starting a new month, this is a great time to think about new beginnings. ✨ A refreshing massage might just help you to renew and rejuvenate your body and mind for the start of this new month! 🧘‍♀️

☀️🔥 SUMMER IS HEATING UP! ☀️🔥

While summer is great for picnics and vacations, it's also a time when injuries happen because you are outdoors more.

Whether it's an injury or a surgery, massage is a great form of rehab. Below is an article with more information on how massage can help. If you are planning to use massage for your rehab, please have a discovery conversation with the therapist first to be sure they fully understand your needs. If you have questions about this, feel free to shoot me a DM.

The answer: Before! 👍 It is better to work out your muscles prior to receiving a massage. If you exercise directly after your massage, there is a risk of damaging your muscles or not performing as well...So, it's best to wait about 12-24 hours to hit the gym! 💪

Time is never wasted when you are setting aside time to care for yourself. 🤍 Remember to be kind to yourself today - do something for you!

🌳🌲🌿 SEASONAL ALLERGIES KICKING YOUR.....NOSE? 👃

doTERRA's Breathe respiratory blend is so helpful. Many people like it in one of our diffusers but here are several ways to use it. If you don't have a diffuser, you can also put a few drops on a cotton ball and leave it next to your bed at night.

What do YOU do for seasonal allergy relief? I'd love to know.

This quote may seem funny, but there is truth in those words...Massage therapy can affect your mental health along with your physical health. 😌 So next time you're feeling particularly worn out or just flat-out crabby, consider the healing effects that a massage can have for you!

Do you know the importance of drinking water after getting a massage? 💆 Being thoroughly hydrated is one of the most important things that you can do following your appointment! 💧

Your body deserves to be taken care of, and it's your job to make sure your own needs are being met. 💜 But, it's my job to make sure you're getting the best quality massage and that your body is receiving the massage treatment it deserves!

📍 I'm frequently asked how to USE essential oils.

There are many ways to use oils for your health and wellness. Here are the main ways:

👃 Aromatic: Certain essential oils, when diffused, can be very stimulating, while others can be calming and soothing. Diffusing essential oils can also cleanse and purify the air of unwanted odors.

👉 Topical: Essential oils are easily absorbed by the skin and can be safely applied topically.

☕️ Internal: Certain essential oils have a rich culinary history and can be used as dietary supplements for targeted wellness.
