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

To help keep the massage room comfortable, safe, and ready for every client, I kindly ask that you please do not touch or disturb any massage room equipment or personal tools without permission. This includes the massage table settings, table warmer, stones, and any other items in the room that are used during your session.

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.

Friendsgiving has always held a special place in my heart. I do not celebrate Thanksgiving in the traditional way, but a week before the holiday I used to host a small gathering where friends came together to share food, laughter, and a sense of community. Everyone brought a little dish and I provided the main meal. Throughout the evening, friends and family would drop by, chat for a while, eat, and then say their farewells until Christmas/Yule.

It has been a week since the passing of my beloved friend, Charrissa Hudson Farmer (known as Char in our circle of friends). Every day presents a blend of minor progress and instances where the sense of loss remains equally profound. Nevertheless the grief is still fresh and raw. Her absence is still surreal, and the deep loss is something that will continue to be felt for a very long time. I can only imagine how her children and family are feeling. It is an extreme loss, and

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.

There are moments in life when having someone by your side makes all the difference. Moments that deserve to be celebrated, honored, and witnessed with love.

Chemotherapy can affect every aspect of life, from physical health to daily routines at home. Understanding the precautions needed to maintain a clean and safe environment is essential for both patients and caregivers.

Panic attacks can be overwhelming and significantly disrupt your life in more ways than just one.They often appear suddenly and can cause intense physical sensations such as a racing heart, shortness of breath, dizziness, and chest tightness. Many people confuse panic attacks with heart issues or other medical emergencies, which adds to the fear.

Grounding, also known as earthing, is the practice of reconnecting physically and energetically with the Earth. It involves direct contact with natural surfaces such as grass, soil, sand, or seawater, or using conductive tools indoors that replicate this connection. This simple act helps restore balance within the body, calm the nervous system, and promote both physical and emotional healing.

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.

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.

Recent changes to SNAP, EBT, and other assistance programs threaten the well-being of children, seniors, and vulnerable communities. This Christ-conscious perspective emphasizes compassion, morality, and practical solutions like food banks, co-ops, and community gardens.

I often get questions about what is and isn’t within the scope of massage therapy in Texas. With so many new techniques and trends circulating online, it can be confusing to know what a licensed massage therapist can legally and safely do. I want to take a moment to clarify what services I provide, what’s outside of my scope, and why these boundaries are important for your safety and well-being.

October is the month of honoring our ancestors as we move into the upcoming seasons. With celebrations like Diwali, Samhain, Halloween, All Saints’ Day, and Día de los Muertos, it’s a powerful time to remember those who came before us and shaped our paths.

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.

Coccyx dysfunction, also known as a tucked tailbone, is a condition that is often misdiagnosed and frequently overlooked. There are not enough medical professionals talking about this debilitating issue, even though it affects thousands of people. It’s something I believe everyone should be more aware of. Coccyx dysfunction can impact many aspects of daily life, leading to significant discomfort and a variety of symptoms that are often difficult to link to the tailbone.

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.
