Sciatic nerve pain can feel different for everyone. Sometimes it is sharp, sometimes dull, and sometimes it shows up as tingling or numbness down the leg. But what you are feeling is not always the sciatic nerve itself. It could be tight muscles like the piriformis, a tucked tailbone (coccyx), a herniated disc, or other structural misalignments in the hips and lower back. The psoas muscle can also be a significant contributor to back pain and sciatic issues. If not addressed

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction can cause a variety of uncomfortable symptoms, including jaw pain, headaches, clicking or popping sounds when opening the mouth, stiffness in the neck and shoulders, and even tension in the upper back. Many people hold a lot of tension in the jaw and surrounding muscles due to stress, which can exacerbate these symptoms. TMJ issues can also be caused by teeth grinding, misaligned bite, posture problems, or injury. While these issues m

Let’s talk about something a little awkward but completely human: farting during a massage. It happens more often than you might think, and it’s nothing to be embarrassed about. I recently had a client who panicked because they felt a fart coming on, and I want to take a moment to normalize this.

Incorporating red light therapy into your massage sessions may help support relaxation, comfort, and overall wellness. Many clients notice enhanced relaxation and a sense of ease during and after sessions when red light therapy is used.

n this post, I share why safety and vigilance are essential in my massage business. As an independent massage therapist, I have seen firsthand the risks that predators can pose to therapists and vulnerable individuals.

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.

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.

Scheduling regular sessions will not only helps you feel your best, but your surgeon will also appreciate that you’re taking such good care of your postoperative recovery. I want to take a moment to talk about why it’s so important to keep up with your breast massage after post-operative surgery, especially if you’ve had breast implants. Regular massage plays a big role in preventing what’s often called “stickiness,” where the connective tissue can start to adhere to the sili

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.

Sandalwood is a timeless and sacred oil, cherished across cultures such as Hinduism, Buddhism and other spiritual practices for its grounding and calming energy. Its warm, rich aroma has been used for centuries for meditation, prayer, and ritual, creating a sense of peace and clarity.

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.

The past year has been a real eye-opener for me, both personally and professionally. It’s made me take a step back and reflect on what I can change not only for my business but also for myself. I’ve been re-evaluating the kind of clients I want to work with, the energy I want to cultivate, and the direction I want to take moving forward.

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
