*Struggle with anxiety?*
♡READ BELOW ♡
Let's talk about mental health and massage.
Two things that play a very large part in my life.
I struggle hard and often with anxiety, and I like to be an open book with this because I know others do too. It wreaks havoc on my mind and in my life.
Having a "tool box" of ways to cope is a must and if you don't already, you should have massage therapy in that box.

Massage is great for a lot of things and yes it helps physically but mentally..... oooo the things it does for me mentally! 😌 I can't even begin to explain the enourmous calming effect it has on my nervous system.
While receiving a massage, your body is releasing a sleu of helpful neurohormones (hormones produced by the nervous system). From dopamine to serotonin to oxytocin, these helpful hormones can dramatically help reduce the symptoms of anxiety and leave you feeling balanced and centered.

We're coming up on SAD season so if your looking for something to add to that mental health tool box.. try visiting your local massage therapist 🥰 We got you covered

Cupping as an add on to your regular massage session will be officially available begining May 1st!!!
The service will only be an additional $20 and will add on up to an additional 15 minutes to your session time. I wanted to do it this way so that it adds to and doesn't take away from your traditional massage session 😊
As of now, cupping will be available as only an add on service. However it will be available in the future as it's own service so stay tuned! 🤗

It's official, I have a new favorite CBD balm. Anyone care to guess which scent is my fav? 😅
I love using these, especially with the cups! Holy woah have I had some good results with those two togther!
I looooove using CBD!! It's helped a lot with my anxiety (in tincture form) and with my ankle/joint pain. Not an ad lol just enjoy passing along my finds that I like. IMO, for the Epic Balm, I like the 1000mg one. But everyone is different! And everyone's bodies respond to things differently! So choose what works for you 🥰

CBD balm pictured above from includes:
Desert Rose 1000mg
Alpine Blend 100mg
Calm Balm 100mg

Some of the benefits of CBD include:
• Stress & Anxiety relief (could also reduce depression)
• Pain Relief
• Reduce Inflammation
• May reduce cancer related symptoms (such as nausea, vomiting & pain)
• May reduce acne
• Some studies show Neuroprotectice properties (possibly helps in treating Epilepsy & MS)
• May help with high blood pressure and may help reduce the inflammation and cell death associated with heart disease due to its powerful antioxidant and stress-reduding properties

Potential side effects:
•Diarrhea (typically occurs from overuse)
• Changes in appetite and weight
• Fatigue

***Note research in some of these areas are relatively new and you should always consult your doctor before adding supplements to your diet or attempting to treat anything! ***

(Information gathered from Healthline 7 Benefits and Uses of CBD Oil (Plus Side Effects) article written by Jillian Kubala, MS, RD on Feb. 26th 2018)

The list could go on! There are more and more studies being done all the time. Note the above benefits will vary depending on how you use the product and your own personal biological make up. For me personally, it most definitely reduces my anxiety! And therefore my stress. I use the oil drops under my tongue daily and topical for joint and muscle pain as needed. I have read for pain management it is best to use both oil drops and topical because they work together to help with pain and inflammation.

Just a little afternoon selfcare cupping 🥰
