I’ll always remember one of my massage instructo I’ll always remember one of my massage instructors telling us during class: “Right now I can scan my body and pinpoint exactly where my hidden tension is.” At the time I had no idea how he knew his body so well, but now I have become aware enough to know where every whispering ache is (and there’s quite a few today). Just like a cough can turn into a cold, a sore muscle can turn into a headache! Catch it before it’s too late! We were given these warnings for the purpose of heeding them.💡

Especially on this table— are you seeing all these layers of comfort?! 😅 I was telling one of my clients the other day that when I get my monthly massage I ask my MT to come to my office specifically to use my table, because it is just THAT comfortable. I’ve yet to find a better comparison. 🤪🤩

You don’t have to wait till the New Year, or the You don’t have to wait till the New Year, or the weekend, or something big to happen TO you to start something new FOR you. You can start over this very morning by making your health a priority in your life. For example, this morning I woke up and instantly grabbed an entire glass of water and mixed in some Diatomaceous Earth to immediately start purging, because I know today is going to be a long day and less sleep = less immunity! It can be that simple. Let’s head into this New Year— and new decade!!— strong. I know some of my own personal New Year’s resolutions in 2020 are to return to Haiti, become a certified reflexologist, and to have the best health I’ve ever had which will include getting more than one massage a month. 👏🏼 Anybody else? 🙋🏻‍♀️
The past two months I’ve been blessed through my The past two months I’ve been blessed through my business to give $220 to Hannah & Jackson, two missionaries in Kenya. ⠀⠀ Hannah & Jackson have lived in Kenya for eight months and are currently doing chronological Bible teaching amongst the Samburu tribe. They are involved in men's and women's fellowships that focus on discipleship and the teaching of God's Word. They long to see the Gospel take hold in the hearts of the Samburu people by laying a biblical foundation that is rooted in the entirety of God's Word. ⠀⠀ $5 from every massage goes towards missions like these each month. Your massage impacts ➡️ your muscles 💪🏼 ➡️ your blood & lymph circulation 🩸➡️ your mental health 🧠, in turn, impacting ➡️ the spread of the Gospel 7,000+ miles away in the Samburu tribe. 🌍 Wow, my heart is full. ❤️ ⠀⠀ #massagewithamission #blessedtobeablessing

Massage therapy is more than muscles. When you bet Massage therapy is more than muscles. When you better muscle tonicity, you are not only affecting that individual muscle, but all that surrounds it—blood, lymph, and organ function. This is why healing takes place. ✨
As the approach of the celebration of Jesus nears, As the approach of the celebration of Jesus nears, I reflect on His life. His arms were often reaching out to others and touching the place of pain— blind eyes, lepers’ spots, the ear of the servant Peter cut off. 2 Corinthians 4:10 says that we always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. I often forget how blessed I am to take part in reflecting just one small area of Jesus’ life— touching the pain. After all, if we are His, we are His body, and reaching out our arms to touch others is a vital part. Are His arms reaching in you?

How often do we touch inanimate objects vs real pe 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. 🙌🏼

Our neck and shoulder muscles get a lot of daily g 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. 💆🏻‍♀️💆🏻‍♂️

AMEN 🙌🏼 ⠀⠀ Your body is AMAZING. Give 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. 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. ✨
