Reflexology Explained: Investing in Your Well-Being
Although a foot massage and reflexology may feel similar at first, they are actually quite different in their focus and intention. A foot massage is primarily designed to relax the muscles, improve circulation, and provide overall comfort to the feet. The movements are typically broader and focus on relieving tension in the soft tissues, much like a massage on other parts of the body.

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.

Stone of the Month Series: Black Moonstone
As an energy practitioner, I work closely with stones, and with that being said, I want to start offering a small monthly blog called “Stone of the Month.” The idea is that if someone happens to come across my website or blog and is curious about what kinds of stones to use, they can find a little perspective and information on the stones I personally use in my energy sessions.

Massage Therapy for Every Body: Comfort, Care, and Respect
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

Understanding the Difference Between Manual Lymphatic Drainage Therapy and Lymphatic Massage
The lymphatic system is a vital, yet often overlooked, part of the body’s circulatory and immune systems. It helps maintain fluid balance, remove waste, transport immune cells, and support overall health. The system consists of lymph fluid, lymphatic vessels, and lymph nodes that filter and direct fluid throughout the body. Proper lymphatic function prevents swelling, tissue congestion, and infection, while restricted or stagnant lymph flow can lead to discomfort and other he

Hydration and Electrolytes: Why They Matter Before and After Your Massage
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.

Navigating Cosmic and Environmental Energies: EMFs, Gamma Rays, Solar Flares and Moon Cycles
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: Take Back Your Power
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.

Boundaries in Massage Therapy: What It Is and What It Is Not
Over the years, a massage therapist learns the importance of establishing boundaries with clients. These boundaries create a clear framework for both the therapist and the client. 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.
Too many callers, almost always men, ask inappropriate questions or try to push sessions into sexua

Consent and Sovereignty: Understanding the Difference Between Choice and Exploitation
Through my work in massage and healing, I’ve seen how important it is to talk about consent, permission, and boundaries. These themes come up often in my work. I see that many people struggle with establishing boundaries, whether it is saying no, asking for what they need, or recognizing when someone else is crossing a line. For me, this goes beyond theory; it's something I observe with people daily.

Why "By Appointment Only" is Important
I do not accept walk-ins. Here’s why: My sessions are 90 minutes to 2 hours long. When I’m with a client I give my full attention to their care and I do not step away from a session to answer the door or phone. Accepting walk-ins would create time pressures and interruptions that reduce the quality of treatment for everyone.

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. Unfortunately, since the lot is public use under Texas law, parents are legally allowed to park there. The only exceptions are if someone is parked improperly...
