Just the name…Black Friday seems dark and foreboding. This whole week could use some attention. This is the week that some of us really start stressing about the holidays. And there is so much to this; from family to finances, which holidays and where, so much to do and taking care of you, presence and […]

A Bountiful Autumn!
Does anyone else feel a little guilty having a little success or joy in the middle of all this crazy, awful stuff that is going on? We are having a kinda good autumn here but, I am feeling a little guilty for having so much to be grateful for. Of couse the house isn’t as […]
Pumpkin Spice Lattes and Oncology Massage
I have friends who love PSL. I don’t care for them and being able to work with Oncology Patients I know sometimes that fragrance is too strong for some in the infusion room. That being said the PSL is a good reminder of how we work with people who have cancer and survivors. With […]
Holiday Recovery Project
There’s nothing like an old-fashioned Christmas—goodies on the groaning board, halls decked with holly berry, gaily wrapped presents piling up on the window sills, loved ones chiming carols. It can put you flat on your back for a month. ~Jean Kerr And it isn’t just Christmas or even always religious. It isn’t just cooking, baking […]

I would love to have a Wellness Center, indeed I greatly enjoyed having a multidisciplinary practice in Tulsa, Oklahoma for many years with a number of Massage Therapists, Acupuncturists, Yoga Instructors and Estheticians. At this point it isn’t feasible for us. My concern is that all over the country I am seeing some unfortunate trends […]
Post-Op Massage & Bodywork
Yes there was a long period of time when Christopher and I were in Oklahoma that we saw quite a bit of post-op massage referrals. Haven’t seen too many here yet so I wanted to tell you a bit about it. Most of the time people would make an appointment or let us know when […]
When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get a Massage...
I know that there are people who do not love their fellow man, and I hate people like that! Tom Lehrer Sometimes it doesn’t matter how positive you try to be and how wonderful your life is. Sometimes things happen and you get blindsided with negativity or sink down into a pit of pitifulness and […]
