Vida Amor

To our incredible clients,

As many of you know, we are beginning a new chapter and preparing to close this season of our business. While we’re excited for what lies ahead, saying goodbye is not easy.

Over the years, many of you became so much more than clients. You became friends, family, and a part of our lives. We’ve celebrated victories with you, supported you through challenges, watched families grow, and shared countless meaningful conversations. The trust you’ve placed in us has been one of the greatest gifts of our lives.

Thank you for allowing us to be part of your healing, your wellness journey, and your story. Thank you for your loyalty, your kindness, your referrals, your laughter, and your support through the years.

While our doors may be closing, the relationships and memories we’ve built will stay with us forever. We are deeply grateful for every single one of you.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of the Vida Amor family. We love and appreciate you more than words can express.

With that being said we will continue to fulfill reoccurring appointments up until we can’t-and will no longer be taking new clients. We will continue to update you as we can.

With endless gratitude,

Jessica & Manny🤍🤗

If I had to give advice to someone trying massage for the first time, here’s what I’d say 🤍

Just do it.Your body isn’t “too much” of anything… not too tight, not too sensitive, not too far gone. Not too big, small, odd shaped. It’s actually doing its best to communicate with you—and it’s worthy of care exactly as it is.

Give your Therapist a real chance.
Try them 2–3 times. Your body needs time to build trust, unwind patterns, and feel safe enough to let go. If it still doesn’t feel aligned after that, that’s okay—find someone who does. But don’t give up on your body in the process.

Breathe.
Your breath is everything. It sends oxygen to every single cell, helps your nervous system shift out of survival mode, and creates space where tension used to live. Slow inhales, longer exhales… let your body soften instead of bracing.

Ask questions.
Nothing is weird or off limits. This is your body, your experience. And yes—sensations you’ve never felt before will happen. Tingling, emotional releases, warmth, even unexpected soreness… it’s your body processing, reconnecting, and sometimes unwinding things that have been stored for a long time.

Massage isn’t just about “fixing pain.”It’s about learning your body’s language… and finally listening to it. You deserve this.

If you’ve been thinking about it—this is your sign 🤍 and if you as my client have any advice to someone trying my massage for the first time, please leave it in comments! I’d love to hear your thoughts!

When you come in like this…
We slow everything down.
Because it’s not just your muscles—it’s your nervous system asking for a moment to feel safe again.

And here… it gets to 🤍

My opinion: you’re going to find the best Massage Therapist’s working from home!

Why?
Because when someone is truly in this field to make a difference in people’s lives, they build something more personal… more intentional.

Home studios aren’t rushed.
They’re not corporate.
They’re curated for YOU.

You’re getting someone who chose this path — not just clocking in.

More presence.
More care.
More connection.

And your nervous system can feel the difference.

✨ This is where real work happens.

(And yes… it’s a little more intimate, a little more real — and that’s the point 🤍)

“Jess, you’re so knowledgeable… why don’t you make educational videos?!”

Me: trying to figure out where to look on the camera while saying “hi” like a normal human 🫠

Truth is… this business was built on real people, real results, and word of mouth—not algorithms.

But if you happen to find me on here, welcome 🤍
I may be awkward on camera… but I’m very good at what I do.

If you’ve been living with chronic pain for years—
I got you.

Our recommendations are just that..

-Recommendations-

Yes, they may come from an educational and loving place…
but they are never a requirement to keep seeing us.🫶

✨We’re not here to assign homework.
We’re here to help your body feel better.✨

We chose this work because we genuinely love holding space for people and sharing what we’ve learned about easing chronic pain, unwinding stress, and helping the body remember how to relax again.

Will we suggest stretches?
Hydration?
Maybe a pillow adjustment or two?

✨✨Of course.✨✨

But we also know something important:

✨You’ll use our advice when you’re ready.✨

Until then… we’ll be right here
working on those knots you definitely don’t have
in the shoulders you totally didn’t sleep on funny
from the stress you’re absolutely not carrying. With the water you definitely drank and those stretches you’ve definitely put in that routine 😉🤣

Healing isn’t about perfection.
It’s about support.✨

And that’s what we’re here for. 🌿🤍🫶

10 Things We Wish People Knew About Massage:

1. Your body deserves care even when you’re not in pain.
You don’t have to “earn” rest or wait until something hurts to take care of yourself.

2. Being touched with intention can be deeply healing.
For many people, a massage is the only time all week someone cares for them without asking anything in return.

3. Your body has carried you through more than you give it credit for.
Stress, work, parenting, grief, injuries... massage is sometimes the first moment it gets to exhale.

4. Relaxation is not a luxury. It’s a biological need.
Your nervous system literally repairs itself when it feels safe enough to soften.

5. You are allowed to slow down.
The world moves fast, but your body heals in stillness.

6. Sometimes the most powerful moment of a session is silence.
Not every healing moment needs words.

7. Your body remembers kindness.
Gentle, mindful touch can remind it that it’s safe again.

8. You don’t have to hold everything together here.
If you sigh, cry, fall asleep, or just breathe deeper than you have all week — that’s okay. Your body is allowed to let go.

9. Healing doesn’t always look dramatic.
Sometimes it’s just your shoulders dropping half an inch, your breath slowing down, and your nervous system remembering what calm feels like.

10. Massage is not just about muscles — it’s about being human.
Being cared for, being listened to without words, and being reminded that your body deserves kindness too.

Holding Space for you to let go of all of life’s weight, is what we do best. You don’t have to justify why you’re here. We want you here. We want you to feel safe to let go.

When your Fascia is talking louder then I can think.
You all have witnessed this multiple times. Thanks Theo Von for the audio to explain my brain ✨🤗

Is it cold or are you just a Massage Therapist?
Between this and essential oils, it typically does the trick!
