Heather Kaster CMTB A Well Deserved Comfort LLC Massage Therapy

I’m obsessed with the color choices this time for the lung shirt I totally already own but now Ryan has one too so we can match and check out these huge awesome stickers! Also I put on makeup yesterday for the first time since July so there’s that photo too ☺️ I posted an update of how things are going on my Gofundme page if anyone wants some of that action 💖

It’s been a while since I’ve checked in here.. that’s because for over the past year or so I had been quietly struggling to keep doing what I loved for you all with increasing shortness of breath upon exertion and other strange symptoms that I now know to be associated with the rare sporadic cystic lung disease LAM which I was diagnosed with in April this year and have been in hospitals treating lung collapses pretty much since. I’ve avoided posting on social media because it makes this whole thing unavoidably real in the long term rather than something I just have to get through each moment.. Friends of ours lovingly put together a go fund me page for us: https://www.gofundme.com/f/heather-kaster-fight-lam?qid=4eb3d5c1ca6faceff53bd3f3e4c72500 for those of you asking for ways you can help. Although truly I moreso look forward to having a gathering at Estabrook in the fall so I can hug all those I’ve missed so dearly so watch out for that coming up when possible. I love you all so very much and hold you in my heart through this just as you hold me in yours 💗

Heck yes!

Sometimes you find the most interesting things..

I hope this post finds you all well 🥰

Seeing that I’ve not been very active on this FB page since earlier this year and it seems to be a point of resistance to me I have recently decided I will be directing my connecting energy to my Instagram account instead.

If you would like to reach me or follow that will be a much better way than here..

You can also connect with me directly at [email protected] or text me.

Thank you all

I hope some of these can help you mommas... 🥰🧘🏽‍♀️🧘🏻‍♀️🧘🏿‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️

Beautifully expressed the difficulty of being a hands on healer in a world where distance is required.. I miss this interaction.. to all of you missing ours 💗💓💗 let’s take some more time apart but meet up soon safer on the other side..

A Touch-less Bodyworker: A Massage Therapist's Response to Life Under Quarantine I am a toucher. I love to touch and be touched. A casual hand on the arm of someone I am talking with, a hug in greeting or parting, massaging a friend’s shoulder while absently talking in a group. I now can’t remember the last time I touched someone. I know it must be over a month. I get surpri...

Keeping my Popeye forearms rockin’ by taking off the old carpeting, adding new, and finally properly tightly wrapping sisal for my sweet Sieben 🖤 I sure wish I could get a massage today, though! 💆🏼‍♀️🤪 How are you all holding up?? 🥰

I’m grateful that I feel a grounded centering and that I’m not currently freaking out about my financial stability despite so much unknown around me.. being a hands on healer this past week has felt like I could be a part of the problem but also that I was doing my best for those I held space for.. while I find peace and recharging during time to myself, I greatly miss all those who I get the privilege to assist toward healing.. please reach out here (insta or fb) or text like some already have to check in 💗 I would love to hold some extra healing and loving space for you all in my heart until we are together again.. 💗💖💗 be well, my dear ones
