Let’s Lighten Up Black Friday
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 […]
Don’t get your tinsel in a tangle…
I want to be a good role model. I really do, I am Massage Therapist. I know that I have to have peace myself before I can bring peace to others. I am actually really good at stress management. I am also honest so I do know it is easy to say but, not easy […]

Recently I was wondering where we ever got the idea of an hour massage from. Seems to me the hour massage is the most common. I am a voracious reader and I don’t just collect old massage books, I read them, so I thought I would pull out a couple and share them with you. […]

Curiosity Killed the Cat but, not the Client
It is okay if you are curious. I am a curious person too. Talking and massage is a big issue. A lot of people really appreciate getting a massage without chat. I have heard a number of clients say that they left their last therapist because they wouldn’t shut up. “A little less conversation, […]
Everyone Moves
Even if you aren’t a runner or yogi or gym person you move. You move every day. Maybe you move too much, maybe you move too little.

I See You…
I see you getting your morning paper. You can’t just bend over and get it. You have to bend your knees and squat a bit while you hold your low back with the other hand. I wish you would let me help. I can help you gain flexibility and manage low back pain. I see […]
