How often do we touch inanimate objects vs real people? How often am I holding my phone, my steering wheel, my cup of coffee instead of someone’s hand? A question that has plagued me recently. If we were to measure the difference it would be drastic. Were our bodies really made for all this plastic interaction?
⠀⠀
No wonder therapeutic touch is so needed today, and so simultaneously effective. 🙌🏼

Some middle of the week encouragement 👈🏼👏🏼🙌🏼 What seeds have you planted in faith? Waiting for them to come to fruition is not enough— we must work at it, pray over it, surrender it, nurture it, and set it in a place of growth. The fruit is coming!

The past month of October I was blessed through my business to give $90 to @vom_usa, specifically to provide Bibles to persecuted Christians around the world. The remnants of this particular Bible are cherished, even after being damaged in a church fire. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Our neck and shoulder muscles get a lot of daily grief as we live in a media-dictated culture. 📲 Releasing them has to be a slow and patient process. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
The following videos are a quick example of an Integrated session with me for those with chronic neck pain (any other upper body pain, like in the shoulder, has to be released FOLLOWING release in the neck, since they are connected.) Due to my Integrated sessions being CUSTOMIZED per individual my technique is always different, so these videos are just examples that merely scratch the surface. The following is an example of a protocol👇🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• One of the very first things I do in releasing neck tension is long, slow myofascial release along, and sometimes directly on, the posterior spine all the way up to the occiput. Myofascial release is generally critical for me to perform first, as it is the best way I can assess the health of the tissue and state of tension. This can take up most of my time before the muscles have released— and is also when people tend to fall asleep!— as it is incredibly relaxing (I personally think way more than Swedish massage 🤷🏻‍♀️). ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• When myofasical release isn’t enough, I use a vibrational tool which does WONDERS (not pictured in video), which doesn’t require pressure of any kind yet is very effective. ⚡️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• Once the superficial tension has eased I start working at a deeper level to find trigger points that are causing the main source of pain. 👊🏼⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
• I generally end with a hot towel compress if the injury is not acute combined with @doterra essential oils that aid in pain relief. 💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️

I adore my Himalayan Salt Lamp, and, contrary to popular belief, I didn’t purchase it just for looks! Authentic Himalayan Salt Lamps, when properly heated, may include the following benefits:
⠀⠀
• Purify and ionize the air
• Emit negative ions which balances our electromagnetic field and protects against germs in the air
• Neutralize toxic frequencies from technology ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

I believe the art of touch is one of the most POWERFUL God-given forms of healing we as human beings possess. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Yet it is lacking.
⠀⠀
Receive touch and give it today. Your health depends on it. 💛

AMEN 🙌🏼
⠀⠀
Your body is AMAZING. Give it the opportunity and place to heal, and it will! Your biggest enemy to your healing is oftentimes YOU. We can ignore our body’s warning signals— consistent headaches, chronic low back pain, insomnia— simply because we don’t know where to start, or we’re afraid to start! Healing always first starts with CHANGE, and you have to make it in order for it to happen.
⠀⠀
I promise you are not too far gone, too sick, too much in pain for radical healing to take place. 💗

This table has been prayed over many, many times. Oh the stories it would tell if it could only talk. These four walls have seen children to the elderly, from athletes to those with chronic illness. Each one is special. Each one has a story. Each one is here for a reason. I consistently pray that everyone that enters this room and is on this table is blessed, that each one is uplifted and feels the comforting presence of the Holy Spirit here, for He is the reason for all healing and peace. ✨

The past month of September I was blessed through my business to give $60 to persecuted Christians in Nigeria through @vom_usa. I’ve been overwhelmed by their personal testimonies of overcoming the death of their spouses and children to terrorist attacks and in facing unthinkable torture.
⠀⠀
$5 from every massage goes towards missions like this every month. 🌎 So for those of you who received a massage by me this past month not only supported your health, but supported the healing, powerful work of God in the persecuted country of Nigeria. 🙌🏼⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

⠀
When human skin comes in contact with the ground, the human body becomes a sponge that soaks up negatively-charged electrons from the earth. 🌏 Why does this matter? Well, did you know that nearly every single toxin (mold, parasites, heavy metals, chronic stress, etc. 🦠) carries a positive charge? This is why #earthing / #grounding brings our electrical frequencies back into homeostasis, making us feel calmer and less stressed. ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This is a simple, inexpensive way to nourish our health. 🌿 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

The iconic duo 💥
⠀⠀
DEEP BLUE + AROMATOUCH, my favorite massage blends to combine with ingredients like Wintergreen, Peppermint, Blue Chamomile, Helichrysum, Ylang Ylang, Lavender, Cypress, Marjoram, Grapefruit and others 😍 This combination is not only a powerful circulation enhancer and tension reducer, it smells amaaaaazing 🤤 They also pack an icy punch that penetrates achy muscles that are screaming in pain.

Think of your body as a river. When the water is flowing, every living creature within it prospers. When water is impeded by a dam, every living creature within it is compromised! Your blood and lymph are meant to be flowing, not stagnant. (Remember ponds breed bacteria and fungi; rivers breed life!)
⠀⠀
Which are you— Are you a RIVER or a POND?
⠀⠀
Regardless, I do want to specially note that not all of us can exercise due to health reasons or physical limitations! In this case, you need to have someone else move out the junk for you! (Otherwise it’s gonna stay there 🙈) This is why massage therapy (and especially Lymphatic Drainage) is SO wonderful. You can’t run without feeling like you’ll pass out? You can’t do cardio without being exhausted? The answer is MASSAGE. This way you are still improving your circulation, lymphatic flow, and, therefore, your immune system all whilst never moving a finger yourself.
⠀⠀
Move, move, move. And if you can’t, get a massage.

Our muscles have memory. We can perform every right turn driving home and not remember how we got there. Our muscles are more than a means of getting one place to the next, however. They are home to our happiest and saddest memories (that’s right, your brain isn’t the only place where memory resides!), all which impact us consciously or unconsciously. Massage therapy brings our negative memories to light, which is why emotional detoxification, or “somatic release”, happens. Somatic release is when a part of the body (muscle, fascia, bone) is “released” (via massage therapy, myofascial release, or chiropractic) that harbors a negative emotion and creates not only a physical release of tension, but an emotional one as well, which can be through crying, laughing, etc. I am a testament to this! When you receive a GOOD massage, one that is not rushed but intentional, you may start reliving some sad, even traumatic, memories you thought you forgot. This isn’t a bad thing; it’s your body’s attempt to bring negative emotions to the surface so they can finally be detoxed and healed. (This is why people are so much happier following a massage!) This is also one of the reasons some people can’t stand to be touched, because they are unconsciously not ready to deal with what may come to the surface. Some of us prefer to be in pain! But pain limits and contracts our muscles, which makes movement— and, therefore, lasting health— suppressed. We have to actively detox via receiving therapeutic touch to remain healthy on all levels. 🌿
