A Healer in Westwood

What’s my care style? A sense of humor! I love to have a lot of fun at my job and I find that if we can laugh a little during our time together it’ll make the more intense moments during treatment a bit more palpable. I do a lot of deep tissue here. A lot!

Take a moment for yourself today! Now taking appointments for November

Trust me, I’m not just saying this to sell massages. I’m saying this because massage therapy has been proven to relief stress. Manual manipulation of muscles helps activate the parasympathetic nervous system, which is what helps you calm down and helps you turn your fight/ flight response from on to off. Neat, huh?

Let’s talk about self regulation today!

I talk a lot about how the clients I tend to work the hardest on are actually stay at home moms/full-time caregivers of young children. Often times we try really hard to be regulated and stay present and stay on an even heel, but our kids will come home from school and say things that they heard from other kids and we are frankly just not ready for it sometimes.

intellectually, I know that the best is to remain with an even keel and stay open and honest but in the moment, it’s very hard not to be reactive. That’s why it’s so important for me to have a regulated immune system and a regulated nervous system as much as possible.

I self regulate via regular exercise and regular proprioceptive input via sports and massage therapy. I also do talk therapy with a licensed cognitive therapist, and have a wonderful partner and friend group.

I can’t do all of those things but I can certainly help with the massage therapy part!

It’s time to take a moment for yourself today. If you’d like a little bit more than a moment, I am booking out for the second half of August. I also have random availabilities on most Fridays nowadays! Let’s take care of our mind, body, and spirit.

If you want to see for yourself, look up TCM tongue chart on Google!! Sometimes when people come to me for chronic illness or other such things that don’t always align with muscular stuff, we can look at the tongue and I can tell you what I see through my lens of traditional medicine from the Philippines.

It’s a skit, y’all—I totally remember how to do my job 😅 but there is a little something about disruption of a system and disruption of a routine that can make you feel a little disoriented. I also know that there are a lot of caregivers right now that are probably feeling the fatigue of the summer with small children. If you can spare yourself an hour, I would love to talk to you.

Did you know I have a waitlist? My Saturdays are almost always full, but if you are in need of a massage, please make sure to not only get on the waitlist for weekends, but also check my weekday slots. I would love to work with you on myofascial release and somatic therapy.

Also huge SO to for filming for me

Please don’t scroll! We are modern humans living in a modern age, and we need to stretch our bodies if possible! I know I can’t help everybody, but I do have the power of the Internet and I can help you to stretch and take your meds.

but if you are in Kansas City, I can help you. in addition to my usual somatic work and my fashion release, I am now opening up to facilitated stretching sessions! You can book these via the Elevate website and ask for a quick relief. They are only 30 minute sessions and are perfect for something on the go. you only need to take your shoes off and wear some stretchy clothes!

but if you’re looking for a little bit more of assisted relief, then I would love to see you for a full 60 or 90 minute. I know that the warmer weather is coming and we are all being active more so it’s important as the season change to take care of our bodies. check out the link in my bio for my availability.
