Supporting LGBTQ+ Community through understanding, compassion and support. Genderfluid flag. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been asked several times whether I work with transgender individuals. The answer is absolutely yes. My office is an inclusive and affirming space where every person is welcomed with respect, compassion, and dignity. As long as we treat each other with consideration and kindness, you are more than welcome here. It does not matter if you are transgender, ga

If you have sensitivities to essential oils, fragrances, or any kind of smell, please consider booking the first appointment of the day at 8 a.m. This helps ensure the massage room is as scent-free as possible so you can relax comfortably without getting a future headache or receiving irritation from the scent.

One of the best things you can do for yourself each day is to gently unwind your body and give attention to your fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds and supports everything inside you. A great moment to do this is first thing in the morning, before you even get out of bed. If you watch your pets when they wake up, you’ll notice they stretch, yawn, twist, bend, and move in all kinds of natural ways. What they’re doing is releasing their fascia.

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a slow, subtle, and deeply restorative modality that helps heal the body, bringing the nervous system back into balance and creating space for the body, mind, and spirit to restore.

As a lymphatic drainage therapist who formerly worked with chemotherapy patients, I want to share some important guidance.

Fibromyalgia can impact your everyday life in more ways than one. It’s often a disabling condition that affects you physically, mentally, and emotionally. It can change how you interact with others, how you manage your daily routines, and at times, it can feel like it’s controlling your life.

Men’s health is a conversation that society often avoids. From mental health struggles to physical ailments, men are less likely than women to seek help, discuss their feelings, or even acknowledge pain. Toxic societal expectations teach boys from childhood to be strong, to toughen up, and not to cry. This perpetuates harmful myths about masculinity, leaving many men feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and silently suffering.

Remember when your granddad used to say, “Get in, do your business, and get out”? He wasn’t just being grumpy. He was actually giving solid health advice. For a lot of us, the bathroom has turned into a mini sanctuary. It’s where we scroll through social media, catch up on reading, or just get a few quiet minutes to ourselves. And while that’s fine in small doses, parking yourself on the toilet for too long can lead to some real problems.

Percussion massage guns are great for using after a workout or when you can't get to a massage therapist. Just use with care and caution....

One of the biggest lessons I’ve learned over the years is that not everything or everyone needs to be welcomed into your space. This might sound surprising, but something as simple as a “Welcome” mat can energetically open the door to all kinds of vibrations, both high and low.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with many individuals on their healing journeys. Oncology massage holds a special place in my heart, and I have a deep respect for the therapists who dedicate themselves to this specialized field.

When it comes to massage therapy, whether it’s general massage, lymphatic drainage, or specialized work, it’s essential to go to someone who is licensed and insured. This isn’t just about professionalism; it’s about your health, safety, and overall well-being.

Migraines can be debilitating. They can disable you for days, completely disrupting your schedule and affecting everyday aspects of your life. I want you to know that I understand this from personally experiencing hemiplegic and seizure-related migraines. From my experience, I hope to share insights and practical strategies to help you navigate migraines safely and effectively so you can evaluate whether it is something you can manage at home or if you need to seek immediate

I know that coming in for a massage can feel intimidating, especially if you’ve ever felt judged for your body, your size, or your physical challenges. As an overweight massage therapist myself, I understand that worry. I want you to know that in my practice, every body is welcome, and every client is treated with respect, compassion, and care. Whether you carry extra weight, are pregnant, recovering from surgery, a burn survivor, an amputee, or even exceptionally tall, my g

Hydration is more than just drinking water. It’s the process of maintaining the right balance of fluids in your body to support essential functions, including circulation, digestion, and joint lubrication. Proper hydration can help your muscles and tissues respond better during a massage, allowing for more effective tension release and improved overall benefits.

Have you ever woken up feeling “off,” drained, or as though something hit you like a ton of bricks yet nothing in your day explains it? Many people are sensitive to shifts in both the environment around us and the larger cosmic forces that affect our planet. Solar flares, electromagnetic fields (EMFs), gamma rays, and even the cycles of the moon can influence how we feel physically, emotionally, and energetically.

Medical gaslighting occurs when a healthcare provider dismisses, minimizes, or questions your symptoms in a way that makes you doubt your own experience. This can leave patients feeling unheard, frustrated, or even ashamed of their own bodies. It can delay proper diagnosis, treatment, and healing, and may contribute to increased anxiety or stress around medical care.

Before entering a home or office, something as simple as wiping your feet or leaving shoes at the door can do more than keep floors clean. Across cultures, this practice has long been associated with energy and well-being. In China and Japan, for example, removing shoes before entering a home is a standard custom. Beyond hygiene, it is believed to help prevent negative energy from entering the space, keeping the environment harmonious and balanced.
