Black Lotus Therapeutics

We often think of pain as something happening inside the body.

But our bodies don't exist in isolation.

The way we sleep, breathe, move, work, rest, connect, experience stress, and move through our environment can all shape how we experience our bodies.

In Buddhist thought, the elements of earth, water, fire, and air can be contemplated both within the body and in the world around us.

🌍 Earth: Where do I feel supported? Where am I holding myself rigidly?

💧 Water: Where do I feel fluid and adaptable? Where have I become stuck?

🔥 Fire: Where is there warmth, energy, or intensity? What feels depleted?

🌬️ Air: Where is there movement and space? Where do I feel restless or constrained?

These are invitations to notice.

Sometimes the tension in your shoulders is because of the invisible weight of stress you've been carrying.

Sometimes your body feels heavy because you're exhausted.

Sometimes you feel restless because you haven't had room to breathe.

And sometimes creating a little more space in the body gives us an opportunity to relate to ourselves differently.

This is one reason I love a holistic approach to massage.

If you're ready to stop treating your body like a problem to fix and start listening to what it's asking for, let's work together.

Your body is already communicating. Let's listen. 🌸🌱

Massage is not a one-size-fits-all kind of therapy.

At Black Lotus Therapeutics, I offer specialty add-ons that let me adapt your session to what your body is experiencing right now, for no additional cost.

🌿 Cycle Soothe
For painful periods, cramps, tension, puffiness, endometriosis, PCOS/PMDD, or simply when you want a little extra comfort during your period. Think warm stones, hot towels, heating pads, and a cozy earthy-floral aromatherapy blend.

❄️ Cycle Ease
Designed with perimenopause in mind, incorporating cooling tools, cold eye masks & a refreshing citrus-mint blend for a treatment centered around relaxation, nervous system support, and hormonal balance.

🤍 Fertility Support
For those navigating IVF, fertility treatments or infertility. Your session is adapted around where you are in your cycle and fertility timeline, with an emphasis on releasing tension and creating space during a stressful process. Optional lavender aromatherapy is available for relaxation, with a low-intervention approach to minimize potential fragrance and hormone-related concerns.

🔥 Cupping + Hot Himalayan Salt Stones
For stubborn tension that needs a little extra attention. Cupping, heated salt stones and targeted therapeutic techniques can be incorporated into your massage, with magnesium or menthol products available when appropriate.

These aren't just spa-like upgrades. These were created through intention, experience, and education.

Volunteer day for Mondays Cancer Care at Joyful Treasures Point Lookout Yoga on a rainy Tuesday!

Offering free to all the brave souls navigating their cancer journey through is one of my great joys in my career. And being able to do it from my home away from home in yoga is just the best part.

Happy 11th gotcha day to my Cleo!

Eleven years has gone by so fast and she is still a spunky little lunatic with an absolute heart of gold and 2 shiny new knees.

I am so proud to be her 💜🐾

Yoga has been part of my life for years, and I've realized that its biggest influence on my massage practice has very little to do with the physical poses.

It's the philosophy. 🕉

Yoga has taught me to approach the body with less judgment and more respect. To consider not just what I'm doing, but how I'm doing it and whether it's actually serving the person in front of me.

It's taught me to pay attention to the breath instead of treating it as background noise.

To slow down enough to notice.

To practice being present.

And to understand that consistency doesn't have to mean perfection. Sometimes devotion simply means returning to something that matters, again and again.

The deeper practice of yoga has also taught me that being connected to your body can be meaningful in itself.

You don't have to be flexible.
You don't have to meditate.
You don't have to know anything about yoga.

Sometimes it's as simple as taking a breath, feeling your feet on the ground, and actually being where you are.

Those ideas have become part of the massage therapist I've grown into.

Respect. Presence. Curiosity. Non-harm. Devotion.

You may not see yoga on my massage table.
But its influence is there.

What has influenced the way you show up in your work?

This has been a long time coming...

has a fresh new logo!

It's a brand new day here at Black Lotus Therapeutics and I'm so excited to share this journey with you all. 🪷 🖤✨️

Do you love it or do you love it? 😍

Thanks to Alex with Sun Kissed Media for bringing the vision together.

Transparency and authenticity have always been my core values, so I wanted to share these updates with you well before they take effect.

Beginning September 1, Black Lotus Therapeutics will be introducing a few changes to pricing and practice policies. A flat rate increase of $15 across services and packages will be reflected in the new pricing menu.

The biggest change is a move to inclusive pricing. Rather than charging for upgrades or accepting gratuity, every session will be priced based on time alone. If your treatment would benefit from cupping, hot stones, Cycle Soothe, or another therapeutic enhancement, it's included.

Many of you have already noticed that I've been gently declining tips over the past several months. This change makes that official.

This will be my first price adjustment since opening Black Lotus Therapeutics nearly three years ago. Like many small businesses, my operating costs have grown over time, and this update allows me to continue providing thoughtful, individualized care while keeping the booking experience as simple as possible.

You'll also notice a few reminders about my booking and cancellation policies. These aren't new expectations so much as a commitment to being transparent and consistent with every client.

Thank you for your continued trust, support, and referrals. It's a privilege to be part of your wellness journey, and I'm grateful you've chosen Black Lotus Therapeutics.

If you have any questions about these changes, my inbox is always open. 💛
