Tess Bravo, LMT

The new transition is getting closer.
I’ve enjoyed splitting time in town and KC, but this time will have a little bit more similarity.
Will share more when the room is finished.

St. Joe office is all good, no changes! Things will run the usual.

KC, will be working on lining things out. Do have some dates and limited time slots available soon!

One of my 4 days of the year with the Angus crew

I was gifted from a few friends for my birthday a new table travel case! Now to change up my ergonomics with the addition! So excited

I’d like to utilize my business page a little better after I get through how busy May is and work changes.

But, unfortunately this needs to be addressed. Two incidents in a year is too much. I’m not going to tolerate solicitation. I will not referral to one of those establishments because I’m not going to support human trafficking. I’m more than happy to refer to the local police department or the local spay and neuter shelters.

Last Thursday’s Galentine’s event was more uplifting than I expected. 💗
After the last six years post-pandemic, it reminded me how much this work still matters—to me and to others.

My chair has seen better days (literally flaking 😅), and with kids + life, reupholstering keeps getting pushed back. A fellow therapist who doesn’t love chair massage generously passed one along, so I’m making it work for now.

At the event, I reconnected with familiar faces—from a former spa owner who employed one of my massage school instructors, to an American Family employee I used to see regularly when I did chair massage at their St. Joe’s office for 8 years before everything shut down. Then a vendor looked at my name and said,
“Oh—you’re Tess Bravo. You were the go-to for chair events.”
Even mentioned another therapist who said the same.

The last few years have shown fewer chair bookings and a different rhythm to work and family life. It can feel frazzling. There’s definitely some nostalgia too—this fall marks 20 years since I graduated massage school.

Still, moments like this remind me that the work I poured into my hometown left an imprint. And that means more than I sometimes realize. ✨

Massage is part of the maintenance! Diet and exercise is a big part as well

A good and important CE to add to the massage toolbox this November

Sunday chair massage events for a cause 💜

I may or may not have been waiting for October to put these spa pumpkins out in my St. Joe location 🎃

I’ve got your back!
