Meet the traditional Chinese meridian clock. ⏰ H Meet the traditional Chinese meridian clock. ⏰ Have you ever consistently woken up in the middle of the night at the same hour? When you are awake, do you notice you always begin to lack energy at a set time? If you have a health condition that causes pain, have you ever noticed that pain always worsens during certain time periods? If yes, this is the chart you want to reference to become aware of what exact body organ may be affecting your pain, energy, and/or sleep patterns. According to traditional Chinese medicine, within a 24-hour day, these 12 organs rotate every few hours to be “focused” on by the body and detoxed or cleansed. When an organ is toxic or sick and comes to its “turn” on the body clock to be purged, it tends to send signals through a myriad of ways-- increased pain, worsened symptoms, lack of energy, sleeplessness. The Lord miraculously designed our body this way to speak a language not in words, but in signals, and this is just one translation of many ☺️ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ * Watch my stories to hear an amazing personal story about this 😌
So stop ignoring them! Pain is a sign of external So stop ignoring them! Pain is a sign of external or internal issues at hand. It’s an inconvenient blessing, but a blessing nonetheless, because it creates awareness that your body is crying out for help! Are you listening or ignoring?👂🏼

THE SUN ☀️ You say: “Psh Kelly, you might as THE SUN ☀️ You say: “Psh Kelly, you might as well have said food or water.” But why didn’t I? Because I know you will drink water and eat food today whether I tell you it’s good for you or not! But how often do we INTENTIONALLY seek out the sunshine? Without the sun nothing on earth (including you!) could exist! And there is more to it than meets the eye... 👀 [more under “Sun” highlight ☀️] •••

Story time! 📖 I started running again last week Story time! 📖 I started running again last week and making progress which felt SO good— until two days later I had sprained my ankle so badly I was on crutches. 🤪 I was so frustrated that I’d gone from actively exercising to being an invalid, yet I realized it forced me to take even better care of myself than I was before! He knows what we need most. So let’s take advantage of every moment, the times when we have energy and the times we are forced in bed, and see them each as appointed places to either grow or heal. ✨
One of the most important lessons I’ve learned i One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in my field 👉🏼 being strong makes for a good therapist, but being patient makes for an excellent therapist. ✨
1️⃣ Swallowing. If you can’t figure out why 1️⃣ Swallowing. If you can’t figure out why you have to swallow so much during a massage, it’s because your lymphatic fluid (this is the pathway to which all the bad stuff is carried away!) is actually pumping faster! It’s most common during Manual Lymphatic Drainage on the neck because all lymphatic fluid eventually drains into the neck, where the majority of our lymph nodes reside. ☺️ How cool is that? 👏🏼 ⠀⠀ 2️⃣ Stomach gurgles. People apologize to me for this all the time, but it genuinely makes me ecstatic! This means peristalsis has kicked in, bringing movement to your digestive system, and that I’m doing my job well! 🥳 ⠀⠀ 3️⃣ Snoring. This is the one time snoring is music to my ears. 🎶 This means your parasympathetic, AKA your rest + digest, system has been activated, and hormones like serotonin and dopamine have been released! ⚡️ ⠀⠀ These are three sounds you should never apologize for during a massage again, because it is your body’s way of giving in and saying: “I’m going to work!” 👏🏼 And nothing could make me happier. ☺️
First time I’ve had both mama and baby (outside First time I’ve had both mama and baby (outside the belly!) on my table. ❤️ I massaged them both when little Zoe was just 24 weeks old in the womb at the time, and early on I could feel her move and kick in response. Meeting her in person was an amazing thing— she’s blue-eyed, attentive, and extremely sociable. ⠀⠀ On this particular day Zoe was fussing to be held, so I settled some pillows in the side-lying position so I could still perform her mama’s massage while she tried to feed her and hoped she’d fall asleep. Instead she mostly fussed and grabbed at her mama’s face, almost gouged her eyeball out, and flailed her arms. I finally rubbed some @doterra lavender on her feet and the back of her neck (next time it’ll be the first thing I do!), wrapped her in part of the weighted blanket, and she was asleep in minutes, as was her mom. This is one of the sweetest moments I’ve ever witnessed, taken and shared with permission. 💛
It’s true! 👐🏼👣 I got a much-needed mass It’s true! 👐🏼👣 I got a much-needed massage today, and tried something new afterwards— FLYING THAI 🙈 Have you tried it?! The name rings true— I truly felt like I was flying, and, wow, nothing like working with gravity to get the best stretch. 🤯 It was such a neat experience I’m thinking of having my therapist come do a few classes for you all in future. 👏🏼 And next year we’ll call it Valen[THAI]nes. 😉

Alternative medicine has been around since the beg Alternative medicine has been around since the beginning of time; it’s traditional medicine that is new! There is thought-provoking history behind the motivation that made medicine change just over the past one hundred years, and it largely boiled down to this: people couldn’t patent plants. 🌿 They couldn’t patent the sun. ☀️ They couldn’t patent nutrition, movement, or touch therapy. 🏃🏻‍♀️ When it was realized that profit couldn’t be made off of alternative medicine, because the Lord was its Master designer, they patented the PROCESS. Sometimes we get stuck in the patented process—though it can be helpful!— but, in doing so, forget the medicine all around us in nature that He has already freely given. ❤️
Aromatouch, AKA the “instantly-induced-sleep” Aromatouch, AKA the “instantly-induced-sleep” massage. 🤩 This is a kid-favorite and highly recommended for anyone new to essential oils, massage, or both! 🤗 ⠀⠀ What makes this service different than others? Aromatouch is a manual therapy that works with the nervous system versus the musculature. Because of this, it’s my most recommended service for those struggling with neurological issues like anxiety, PTSD, and epilepsy. For more info check out my Aromatouch highlight. 💛 ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ In the meantime I’ve been toying with the idea of creating an additional service with the same techniques as this one that swaps these EO’s for the @doterra emotional oil blends. 🤔 Should I go for it?!
Someone once told me: “I don’t need a massage Someone once told me: “I don’t need a massage because I don’t get sore.” This is like saying: “I don’t need to exercise because I’m not overweight.” We wait for symptoms to arise before we take care of our health versus taking care of our health to preserve us from arising symptoms! It’s time to shift our mindset of what “being healthy” really means. 💛🌿
Introducing my newest service addition: cupping th Introducing my newest service addition: cupping therapy! 🎉🤗 Now offered in my Deep Tissue and Integrated sessions. It is truly one of my new favorite modalities, as it releases lymphatic and circulatory stagnancy, tight fascia, and muscular adhesions, which preps the body for the most effective deep tissue massage. 🤯 Here are some fun facts (& more coming soon in my stories!)👇🏼 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Although widely-used today, cupping therapy is not new! One of the oldest medical textbooks in the world, the Ebers Papyrus, describes how the ancient Egyptians used cupping therapy in 1,550 B.C. 📜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Cupping has been found to affect the body up to 4-10 cm into the tissues. 📏 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • There are roughly a dozen different types of cupping therapy — ones that use herbs, others that use heat and acupuncture needles. The type I perform is with silicone cups called “movement cupping”, which doesn’t leave purple marks. 💜 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ • Cupping creates REVERSE OSMOSIS through its negative pressure, which allows for better product penetration of all essential oils I use on the body. 🌱
