Athlete’s Foot, Plantar Warts and Other Contagious Foot Conditions
Certain foot conditions are highly contagious and pose a risk not only to you, but also to your massage therapist and other clients. For everyone’s safety, please inform your therapist before your session if you currently have or suspect any contagious foot condition, including athlete’s foot or plantar warts.

Why Massage Therapists Do Not Perform Adjustments
It is important for clients to understand the scope of practice for massage therapy. Massage therapists do not perform chiropractic adjustments. We do not adjust the skeletal system, crack bones, or intentionally manipulate joints in the way a chiropractor does. Those services are outside of a massage therapist’s legal and professional scope of practice in Texas.

What to Expect in Your Massage Session Series: Listening to the Body
One of the most common things I talk about with clients is how the body communicates. During a massage session, especially in modalities such as craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, BodyTalk-informed work, or energy-based techniques, you may notice sensations or responses that feel unfamiliar at first. I want to reassure you that these experiences are normal, natural, and not strange or out of the ordinary.

Post Massage Tips | TMJ & Jaw Care
Jaw pain, intraoral discomfort, TMJ symptoms, and issues following dental surgery can be extremely painful and disruptive to everyday life. In my office, I offer assessments to determine whether intraoral therapy may be appropriate for a client’s specific condition. When working with jaw related issues, it is not uncommon to find imbalances elsewhere in the body, particularly in the pelvic area, which may also need to be addressed as part of a comprehensive approach.

Why I Don’t Offer Deep Pressure Massage and What Deep Connective Tissue Really Is
I’d like to take a moment to clarify an important aspect of my work. I do not offer deep pressure massage. What I do offer is deep connective tissue work, and there is a major difference between the two.

A Quick Reminder for Clients with Scent Sensitivities and Allergies
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.

The Benefits of Myofascial Release Unwinding
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.

Massage Therapy and Men’s Health: Breaking the Stigma, Ending the Silence, Promoting Healing
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.

The Hidden Risks of Long Bathroom Breaks (Your Butt Will Thank You)
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.
