Compassionate Hospice Presence in Life’s Final Moments
Losing a friend recently reminded me of something I’ve seen many times in hospitals: some people face their final moments alone. In the ICU, hospice, and nursing home settings, I’ve witnessed individuals whose families are out of state, unable to travel, or no longer living. They are the last of their line, and sometimes, no one is there to offer a hand to hold, a comforting word, or simply a presence.

Blog of the Month: Why I Don’t Push for Google Reviews (And Why It Matters)
Lately, I’ve noticed some issues with Google removing positive reviews from my business. At the same time, I’ve observed some competitors seemingly using AI-generated reviews to boost their profiles. Seeing a business jump from under 100 reviews one week to nearly 700 the next is a clear red flag. While reviews can be helpful, they aren’t always a reliable measure of quality or experience, especially when some may be fake.

Respecting each other's boundaries is crucial. I want to emphasize that I have strict boundaries in place, and I rigorously enforce them, particularly regarding sexual harassment from male clients.

Hours of Operation: Why My Hours Are 8 AM to 3 PM
Over time, afternoon traffic from the nearby local Christian Academy school has created challenges for both my clients and my business. Many clients have shared frustrations about the lack of available parking around 2:30 to 3:45 pm, as parents often use our commercial lot despite management’s requests not to.

Respect, Advocacy, and Boundaries in a Chaotic World
My massage therapy office is a safe haven. I understand that people sometimes come into the therapy room carrying heavy burdens. Venting is natural and allowed.
