When preparing for any form of surgery, it’s helpful to have supportive tools on hand that aid your body through the healing process. Alongside items like Arnica or your post-operative care kit, many people keep NanoSilver as part of their recovery essentials. I am not referring to colloidal silver. NanoSilver is a professionally formulated type of silver commonly used in wound care settings. In many medical environments, especially infectious disease units, silver infused gauze and dressings are a standard part of wound care due to silver’s well-known antimicrobial properties. While NanoSilver is not a replacement for medical treatment, some individuals use it with their doctor’s approval to help keep surgical or injured areas clean during recovery. It is also commonly used after dental procedures, including extractions, to help maintain cleanliness and support faster recovery time. A brand that many people explore is St. George NanoSilver, which you can search for online. There are also other NanoSilver products available from various suppliers, such as NanoSilver lotion, NanoSilver soap, and NanoSilver gauze. I am not listing specific retailers, but these items are easy to find with a simple online search. On a personal note, I have used NanoSilver during my own dental crisis, including cavitation surgery and a previous dental infection. I also incorporated it into my Lyme disease wellness protocol. This is not medical advice, and NanoSilver should only be used as needed. NanoSilver is also a useful item to keep in your first aid kit for both your family and your pets. It offers an additional layer of support when dealing with minor wounds or situations where cleanliness is important. Always follow your surgeon’s instructions, and consult your healthcare provider before adding anything new to your post-operative routine.

There is a misconception that clients often assume that every tight spot or raised area under the skin is a knot and simply needs heavy pressure to make it disappear. The body is far more complex, and not everything should or even can be pressed, pushed, or forced into release. True deep connective tissue work as well as general massage, takes time and gradual patience with the tissues. Sometimes what feels like a knot is actually something completely different: natural bony landmarks areas of scar tissue myofascial contradictions calcification or small bone spurs sebaceous tumors or benign cysts lipomas abnormal lumps that require medical evaluation, including cancer swollen lymph node(s) In rare cases a lump can indicate something that needs medical evaluation. This is why I work conservatively and never try to aggressively force tissues to change.  If an area does not respond like normal muscle or connective tissue, I approach it with caution and clear boundaries. It is not advisable to attempt to break or burst a cyst, lymphoma, or abnormal bump. Doing so can cause inflammation, can possibly spread infection, or can create unnecessary harm to the connective tissue or muscle. I do not diagnose or treat these conditions, but through experience I can recognize when something does not feel like typical muscular tension. There have been times when I have come across abnormal bumps that clients later learned were cancer, which is why safety, awareness, and proper referral matter. Myofascial release, deep connective tissue therapy and massage are not about pushing through resistance. They are about allowing the tissues to respond appropriately and naturally to touch. Too much aggression can cause the body to push back or brace. Muscles may tense, tighten, or become ischemic, which makes the work more difficult and far less effective. In many cases the body can enter a protective or traumatic response when pressure is too forceful, and avoiding that response is essential to the type of work that I do. I also want to address the conditioning and belief system many people have been taught about deep tissue work. Deep pressure is not always appropriate or safe for every individual. It might be fine for some, but not for most. Going aggressively after what someone believes is a knot is not always advisable, especially when the structure under the skin may not be muscular at all. I have extensive experience in knowing what to look out for, and if I notice something unusual, I inform the client so they can make an appointment with their primary physician. Once I bring something to a client’s attention, it becomes the client’s responsibility to follow up with their physician to ensure it is nothing serious. Not every abnormal bump is cancer or a cyst. Sometimes it is something simple or benign. However, it never hurts to have it evaluated by a primary physician for peace of mind and proper care. If something does not release immediately, it does not mean something is wrong. It usually means the body needs time, patience, and mindful, gentle work rather than force. The goal is always safe, effective treatment, never unnecessary pressure. With care and support, Suzan (Susan) Walker LMT Massage therapy is not a substitution for medical treatment.

852 Hz - Let go of fear This is a brief energy meditation that is designed to take only a few minutes of your time. It can be used as a part of a regular grounding and clearing routine. Before beginning, settle into a quiet space away from distractions. It is recommended to light a candle, your favorite incense, and turn on music that helps you feel calm and centered. Binaural beats may be played softly in the background to support relaxation and focus. Sit or stand in a comfortable position that will assist in the relaxation process. Preparation, Intention, and Protection Before entering any meditative or energetic state, take a moment to establish intention and protection. Silently or aloud, call upon your spirit guides, angels, protectors, or any benevolent support aligned with your highest good. Set a clear protective boundary around yourself by sensing or visualizing a field of light surrounding your body, allowing only supportive and aligned energy to enter. Be mindful and intentional in your communication. If you have specific goals, needs, or intentions, acknowledge them briefly and clearly. Energy Flow, Clearing, and Transmutation Allow energy from Divine Source to gently connect with you. There is no need to force this or visualize it. Just simply allow it to be. Visualize or sense a cone or funnel of light descending from the Divine Source and entering through the crown of your head. The color of this energy is a light whitish blue. Visualize the calming cone of energy flowing downward from the crown, moving gently through each chakra. It does not push or rush. It moves in a soft, swirling motion, loosening stagnant energy and redistributing balance where needed. As the energy continues downward, it flows through the torso, hips, legs, and feet, then exits through the soles of the feet and moves into the Earth. As it enters the Earth, it transmutes any lower vibrational or negative energy that may be attached. This process supports the clearing of energetic attachments and helps restore balance to the chakras, the etheric field, and the auric field. From the Earth, the energy naturally circulates back upward, returning to Divine Source and continuing in a smooth, continuous loop. Breathing remains natural throughout. No special breathing technique is required for this meditation. Integration and Effects This practice supports grounding, energetic protection, clearing, and circulation of Qi. It works by keeping the energetic system full and moving rather than depleted or stagnant. After the practice, energy may feel clearer, lighter, or more balanced. Awareness of these shifts may increase with consistent use. Closing Gently bring your awareness back to the room, carrying a sense of steadiness and clarity. This is a method I use for myself and clients, and I have found it to be effective. You are encouraged to try it and see how it feels for you. With care and support, Suzan Walker LMT Disclaimer This practice is intended for relaxation and general energetic awareness. It is not a substitute for medical or mental health care. Energy work and massage therapy do not diagnose or treat medical conditions. Clients are encouraged to seek appropriate professional care when needed. Any shared binaural beat resources are offered without monetary benefit and are shared to support both the creator and individuals seeking higher vibrational sound environments.

This article is part of a broader series on spiritual practices that can be incorporated into your daily routine. These practices are designed to support energetic awareness, personal boundaries, and spiritual hygiene in a world that is increasingly interconnected and intrusive. Just as we care for our physical and emotional health, tending to our energetic well-being is an essential part of living, working, and moving through modern life with clarity and intention. For more than 30 years I have worked as a spiritual practitioner, an energy worker, and a Reiki practitioner. In that time, I have supported many clients who needed guidance on psychic protection, energetic defense, and the subtle forms of influence that can happen through photographs, online presence, and personal information. Today’s world is deeply interconnected. Our photos, names, and personal details circulate through social media, Google platforms, websites, and online directories. While these tools help businesses become more accessible, they also create energetic vulnerabilities that many people never consider. Whether you are a massage therapist, a spiritual practitioner, or simply someone moving through daily life, energetic protection matters more than ever. Why Pictures Can Be Gateways In spiritual and energetic work, a photo is more than a picture. It carries your imprint. A clear image of your face, your body, or your environment can be used as a point of contact for intention, focus, admiration, projection, or, in some cases, psychic attack. Psychic attack does not require belief in order to occur. I’ve assisted clients who didn’t believe in it at all, yet were struggling with symptoms that directly linked back to energetic intrusion, often through photos, names, or shared personal information. A full-body shot, especially one posted publicly, can allow others to project unwanted sexual or objectifying energy, attempt to siphon vitality, fixate on you as a target, or form energetic connections you never consented to. This is especially true for women business owners, spiritual practitioners, and massage therapists who already experience inappropriate requests, boundary violations, or sexualized assumptions. Your appearance is not the service you provide. Your energy is not public property. Many Indigenous cultures across the world have long understood the deeper spiritual impact of being photographed. In these communities, a picture is considered an extension of the person’s spirit and identity. For that reason, some do not permit photographs at all or require very strict consent before a photo is taken. The concern is rooted in wisdom. An image can create an energetic pathway, leaving a person vulnerable to influence or connection they did not choose. This ancestral knowledge reflects a profound understanding that protecting one’s likeness is another form of protecting one’s spirit, a truth that remains deeply relevant today. Why I Protect My Photos and My Energy I safeguard my privacy and my energy because they are essential to both my work and my wellbeing. I maintain consistency in my appearance, not because I hide, but because it reduces unnecessary energetic noise. I also embed sigils into my photos before posting them anywhere online. Even when a platform requires updated photos, such as Google, which has become increasingly aggressive about demanding business images, storefront shots, and face photos, I take steps to protect myself energetically before I upload anything. This is not fear-based. This is energetic hygiene, the same way we practice physical hygiene. Digital Platforms and Energetic Vulnerability In the past several months, many small business owners, including myself, have seen listings disabled, reviews removed, and visibility restricted, often without explanation. Automated AI processes demand constant updates, including recent photos of our faces and business fronts. These forced updates create repeated energetic exposure, which is why strengthening your spiritual defenses is just as important as protecting your login credentials. Ways to Protect Your Energy Online Here are practices I use and recommend : Sigils and protective symbols can be hidden within the image, layered into the background, or faintly embedded. They shield your likeness and repel unwanted energetic connections. Separating your public and private names is important. Using professional names, nicknames, and abbreviations creates a layer of energetic separation. Limiting personal information online helps reduce energetic exposure. Every detail shared is a thread someone could access. If a massage therapist or in any service industry maintaining strong professional boundaries is essential. You are offering a service, not your appearance for evaluation. Anyone seeking to sexualize or objectify you is not your client and can be dangerous. Engaging in regular energetic cleansing, such as Reiki, spiritual baths, meditation, cord-cutting, grounding, and home clearing, helps maintain your energetic integrity. Treating your online presence like your home is wise. You wouldn’t leave your front door open, and your digital identity deserves the same protection. This is also why discernment matters in what we share online, especially when it comes to family. Limiting public access to family photos, names, and personal details is another important layer of protection. Our family lines carry energetic ties, and oversharing can unintentionally create points of access that affect not only us, but those we love. Protecting your sovereignty includes protecting your household, your lineage, and your private life. Clients Should Also Protect Their Energy This is not just for practitioners. Clients should also practice energetic boundaries by being mindful of what they share online, limiting unprotected photographs, using protective symbols, and avoiding oversharing emotional information on public platforms. Energetic protection is not extreme; it is a form of self-respect. Final Thoughts We live in a time where personal information, imagery, and identity travel faster than we can control. Large platforms don’t consider spiritual wellbeing, only algorithmic visibility. That is why we must protect ourselves. Your face, your body, your energy, and your name are sacred. Guard them with the same care you give your home, your health, and your peace. With care and support, Suzan Walker LMT Copyright © 2007-2026.

An Advocacy Perspective from the Front Lines of Independent Practice For many years, Google functioned as a practical tool for local discovery. Small, independent businesses could be found by proximity, relevance, and basic legitimacy. That system has changed. As Google increasingly relies on AI-driven automation, many licensed and compliant small businesses are experiencing declining visibility, suppressed listings, and measurable financial harm, even while following published guidelines. This is not an isolated complaint. As a business owner who also networks with and mentors other massage therapists, I am seeing the same concerns across service-based industries. One therapist I spoke to reported a thirty percent loss of business in just three months, with a total substantial reduction in revenue. These patterns demonstrate that the problem is systemic and affects more than just one individual business. Most People Do Not Search Past the First Page A fundamental reality of online behavior is that most users do not move past the first page of search results, and many do not even scroll far on that page. When a business is pushed to page two or three, it is effectively invisible. I have had former clients tell me they struggled to locate my business online, despite it being established, licensed, and active. While I periodically send outreach emails, those are unreliable. Messages are filtered, blocked, or missed entirely. Search visibility is often the only bridge reconnecting former clients and bringing in new ones. When that bridge collapses, legitimate businesses lose access to their own communities. Location-Based Searches Are No Longer Reliable One of the clearest signs that something was fundamentally broken came from location-based searches. When I search “massage near me” from my phone or from inside my office, with location services enabled, my own business often does not appear at all. This occurs even within my own ZIP code, Arlington 76016, and sometimes from inside my physical location. Instead, illicit or misleading businesses frequently appear first, and in some cases exclusively. This is deeply concerning. Local search is designed to prioritize proximity and relevance. When a business cannot surface in searches conducted from its own location, it signals a failure in how geographic and professional legitimacy are being interpreted. The problem extends beyond massage therapy. Similar patterns occur in other service-based industries, including hairdressers and estheticians. I have also noticed that searches for restaurants nearby often return sponsored businesses that are far out of the area, twenty to thirty miles away, despite having location services turned on. This demonstrates how Google’s systems increasingly favor paid or sponsored listings over truly local options. Illicit Listings Are Increasing, Not Being Filtered At the same time legitimate businesses are being suppressed, illicit or non-compliant listings have increased dramatically. Rather than being filtered out, these listings are often rewarded with visibility, clicks, and revenue. This creates a distorted marketplace that disadvantages licensed professionals and misleads consumers. In my case, the presence of illicit businesses has gone beyond visibility issues. My business information has been repeatedly mixed with illicit listings on adult-oriented websites. This has led to inappropriate inquiries and individuals arriving at my office under false assumptions. This has been ongoing for over a year and has created reputational harm, safety concerns, and emotional strain, despite operating a fully legitimate and licensed practice. The Personal Cost of AI Enforcement What is rarely acknowledged is the unpaid labor required of small business owners simply to remain visible. In my experience, this unfolded gradually and then escalated. I first noticed a problem when illicit businesses began appearing more prominently in local results, including one operating directly across the way. Over time, those listings multiplied while legitimate providers were pushed further down or removed from meaningful visibility. What followed was more than five months of sustained effort during my personal, unpaid time to identify the problem and attempt compliance with Google’s AI-driven systems. My website had to be repeatedly reworked and stripped down. Pages that once functioned well for clients were reduced to basic text. Schema and metadata were modified repeatedly to avoid automated penalties. Reviews disappeared without explanation. Images and supplemental business information were removed. Attempts to resolve issues frequently led back into automated systems rather than human review. These efforts were not focused on improving service quality or growth. They were defensive measures taken simply to prevent further suppression. Time that should have been spent serving clients, mentoring colleagues, or developing my practice was instead consumed by navigating opaque systems with shifting standards, limited transparency, and little accountability. Service Areas, Misplacement, and Forced Limitations The situation worsened when my business listing was partially removed without warning. Google’s AI stripped nearly all listing information, leaving only the business description intact. Most critically, my service areas were completely removed, despite accurately reflecting how my business operates. Although I maintain a physical office, I serve the greater Metroplex. During the correction process, Google’s AI incorrectly reassigned my business to Dallas, even though my physical location is in Dalworthington Gardens. Correcting this required consolidating my service areas to an artificially narrow set of locations. Ultimately, I was forced to limit my listed service areas to Dalworthington Gardens, Pantego, and Arlington. Attempting to include additional cities repeatedly interfered with my listing and triggered instability. This placed my business in an impossible position. If I accurately describe my service area, my listing becomes unstable. If I restrict it to avoid AI interference, my business becomes less discoverable to the clients I actually serve. This is not optimization. It is constraint. Pay-to-Play Has Replaced Organic Visibility During this same period, additional barriers emerged. Features that were once standard, including enhanced map visibility and ease of location-based discovery, increasingly require payment. Businesses with their own schedulers are pressured to pay simply to display booking functionality. Google’s system is now pay-to-play, requiring businesses to pay for maps, clicks, and buttons that were previously free. This monetization disproportionately benefits larger companies or illicit businesses that generate revenue more easily than small, legitimate businesses. Independent practitioners are increasingly disadvantaged in a system that should prioritize relevance, proximity, and quality over scale or spending power. The Reality of Client Loss and the Need for Replacement Small business ownership requires constant adaptation. Client loss is not hypothetical. Over time, I have lost clients due to death, relocation, economic hardship, and job displacement. In particular, I had a significant number of clients who were government employees and later lost their jobs due to broader policy and economic shifts. These losses are unavoidable and no business survives without replacing them. When that happens, business owners rely on visibility, networking, and local discovery. We hustle. We adapt. We market responsibly. Google search and maps are no longer optional tools in that process. They are essential infrastructure. When that infrastructure fails, new client intake collapses. Over the past year, my new client acquisition has plummeted substantially. One therapist I mentor confirmed a thirty percent loss in revenue in only three months. This demonstrates that these issues are not isolated to my practice. They are systemic, affecting multiple businesses and industries. Acknowledging the Role of AI, While Naming Its Limits I also want to acknowledge that while much of this article documents harm caused by poorly governed AI systems, tools like ChatGPT have helped me organize, articulate, and make sense of what has occurred. At first, I did not support the rapid adoption of AI, particularly Google’s AI-driven systems. Years ago, I anticipated many of the issues that are now materializing, including loss of nuance, lack of accountability, and disproportionate harm to small businesses. What has become clear is that AI itself is not inherently the problem. The problem lies in how it is deployed, enforced, and insulated from meaningful human oversight. Used responsibly, AI can assist business owners. Used without accountability, it can destabilize them. This distinction matters. The Past Year Has Not Been Sustainable What should have been manageable operational adjustments instead became a sustained crisis. The past six months, in particular, have been marked by constant troubleshooting, stress, and uncertainty. Time that should have been spent healing, resting, or growing the business was consumed by navigating AI systems that offered little clarity and no meaningful human recourse. This level of instability is not sustainable for independent business owners. Why Collective Action Is Being Discussed As these issues continue to affect multiple industries, regions, and licensed professionals, it is reasonable that business owners are beginning to discuss collective legal remedies. When automated systems cause demonstrable financial harm, suppress legitimate businesses, and offer no viable path for correction, individual appeals are insufficient. Any meaningful challenge to this system would likely require a large-scale, collective response rather than isolated action by individual businesses. This is not about retaliation. It is about accountability, transparency, and the protection of local economies from unchecked automation. An Open Invitation to Other Business Owners This article is not only about my experience. It reflects patterns shared by other professionals I mentor and speak with regularly. If you are a business owner who recognizes these issues, you are not alone. You are welcome to read what I have gone through, learn from the steps I was forced to take, and apply what may help protect your own business. If you need guidance, perspective, or support, you are also welcome to reach out. This is about sharing information, reducing isolation, and advocating for fair systems that allow legitimate businesses to survive. Closing Thought Technology should support communities, not quietly dismantle them. Small businesses are not disposable data points. They are people, livelihoods, and local trust networks. Until AI systems reflect that reality, speaking up is not optional. It is necessary. With care and support, Suzan Walker LMT Copyright © 2007-2026.

Healing happens best in a space where safety, respect, and awareness of your boundaries guide the experience. I strive to make every session a nurturing experience, mindful of your comfort, boundaries, and triggers. Sharing Your Needs When you submit your intake form, you can share information about PTSD, CPTSD, or other sensitivities you feel are important. While I will do my best to avoid triggers such as certain touches, scents, or other sensory experiences, some factors may be beyond my control. Gentle communication helps create the most comfortable and supportive environment for your session. Boundaries and Environment I maintain my own boundaries to ensure I can show up fully present for your care. This includes playing therapeutic, calming music, often with binaural beats, seasonal decorations, and scheduling self-care time. I may also need to reschedule appointments for medical visits, family emergencies, or personal vacations. While I understand this can sometimes disrupt your routine, attending to my own well-being allows me to provide the best possible care for you. A Partnership in Healing Trauma-sensitive care is a two-way process. While I am mindful of your triggers and boundaries, it is important for clients to be aware of and actively work on managing their own responses. Together, we create a safe, respectful, and supportive environment where healing can happen. Open Communication If at any point you have questions, concerns, or need adjustments during your session, please let me know. Your comfort, safety, and experience are my top priorities, and clear communication helps ensure your session is both restorative and nurturing. Disclaimer I am a massage therapist providing trauma-informed care. I am not a psychiatrist or medical doctor. I do not prescribe medications or create formal treatment plans. I can, however, offer recommendations and supportive guidance within the scope of massage therapy, while maintaining professional boundaries.

Binaural 417 frequency video. Reader Note on Awareness You are encouraged to read this thoughtfully and at your own pace, using your own judgment about what resonates. Awareness does not require fear. It requires honesty, clarity, and a willingness to acknowledge what is present rather than push it aside. The material below reflects lived experience, long-term practice, and direct observation. It is written to encourage awareness, not fear, and responsibility rather than avoidance. Not everyone will resonate with this perspective, and that is okay. This work speaks to those who already sense that unseen influence exists and who are ready to take conscious responsibility for their energetic and spiritual environment. Daily Energetic Clearing Practices As part of my daily spiritual practice, I take energetic responsibility for the spaces I move through. This includes my home, my travels throughout the Metroplex, places where I shop, and environments where I come into contact with others. When I sense energetic disturbances, open portals, attachments, psychic interference, or non-physical entities, I actively work to clear them as part of my ongoing spiritual discipline. This includes removing attachments from people when it is appropriate and permitted at a higher level of awareness. There are many forms of interference affecting individuals and environments at this time. These include psychic attack, energetic attachments, parasitic influences, and non-physical entities that do not originate from the human plane. Many people are unaware of these influences because they operate outside ordinary perception. Ignoring them does not make them inactive. It simply leaves people exposed. These influences often attach through emotional stress, exhaustion, unresolved trauma, repeated exposure to chaotic environments, digital saturation, family lines, timelines, or weakened energetic boundaries. Over time, they can drain vitality, distort perception, and disrupt emotional and spiritual stability if they are not addressed. This is spiritual warfare. It is not symbolic or theoretical. It is present and ongoing, and it affects people whether they are aware of it or not. Psychic and spiritual interference no longer require physical proximity. Access alone is enough. Images, names, voices, energetic signatures, and personal information now move instantly through technology and shared space. Awareness is not paranoia. It is protection. Your belief system also plays a role in how you move through the world. Everyone has one, whether they identify as spiritual, religious, agnostic, or neither. A belief system includes what you trust, what you draw strength from, how you understand meaning, and what you turn to in moments of stress, uncertainty, or fear. This may involve spiritual beliefs, religious traditions, personal values, ancestral influences, or an internal sense of guidance. Whether consciously chosen or not, these frameworks shape how energy moves through your life. If you consider it this way, most people move through the world prepared for physical or verbal conflict. We are taught to recognize physical danger and spoken harm because those threats are visible and familiar. Spiritual or energetic attack operates differently. It is not seen with the eyes. It moves through energy and awareness rather than direct confrontation. Everything in life functions through energy. Your body, your health, your emotions, your work, your relationships, and your finances all operate within energetic systems. When disruption targets energy rather than the physical body, it can bypass conscious awareness. The easiest way to destabilize a person is often not through direct attack, but through gradual depletion, confusion, or erosion of clarity at the energetic level. Many people prefer to dismiss this subject until they experience it directly. Over the years, I have worked with individuals who did not believe in psychic or spiritual interference until they encountered persistent exhaustion, unexplained disruption, emotional instability, intrusive thought patterns, or recurring cycles that did not resolve through conventional means. Experience often becomes the teacher when preparation is absent. This work is not passive or effortless. It requires consistency, grounding, strong personal boundaries, and clarity of intent. This is why I emphasize both physical and spiritual clearing. Energetic hygiene must be paired with practical awareness. Who you allow into your life, the environments you spend time in, and the energetic exchanges you engage in all matter. Just as you maintain your physical space, you must also tend to your energetic environment. Spiritual hygiene, psychic protection, and conscious boundary setting are necessities, not extremes. Clearing practices can be simple and effective. Regular physical cleaning, grounding practices, sound clearing, prayer or meditation, and intentional use of incense can all support energetic stability. Sandalwood, desert sage, and other non-closed practices can be helpful when sourced ethically. If using sage or palo santo, it is important to obtain them through ethical resources and use with respect. I also share a clearing resource that I have personally used for over a decade. At times, I play it quietly in my office. It may sound unusual to some, but experience has shown its effectiveness. Tools are meant to support awareness and assist the work. They are not meant to replace discernment. Part of my service to humanity is to speak openly about spiritual and energetic realities and to support others in maintaining healthy boundaries, protection, and clarity as they move through the human experience. Spiritual awareness is not about fear. It is about responsibility, sovereignty, and clarity. Clearing, grounding, protection, and conscious engagement with spiritual warfare are acts of care for yourself and for those around you. Silence does not create safety. Awareness does.

Arnica is one of the most versatile and effective homeopathic remedies you can keep in your first-aid kit. Arnica supports the body by reducing bruising, swelling, stiffness, and discoloration while promoting a faster, gentler recovery. Arnica also has deep roots in Mexican traditional medicine, especially through the long-standing use of Mexican Arnica (Heterotheca inuloides) by Indigenous communities. For generations, it has been relied upon to ease bruises, inflammation, muscle pain, and trauma-related injuries. As Mexican and Central American immigrants came to the United States, they brought this healing tradition with them, helping Arnica become more widely recognized and valued in American herbal practices. Today, its effectiveness continues to be appreciated as more people rediscover these ancestral remedies. Arnica works deeply within the connective tissues, helping the body recover after strain, impact, or tension. It is truly a good heal-all, which is why it has become one of my favorite essential oils and analgesics to use in my practice. One of the biggest advantages of Arnica is that it is non-habit forming, and it does not produce the burning or stinging sensation that menthol-based products often create. Unlike Biofreeze or Relief Cream, which have that peppermint cooling effect, Arnica absorbs smoothly without discomfort. I do carry those options for clients who prefer them, but Arnica consistently surpasses them for comfort, versatility, and results. In my massage lotions from Lasting Touch, Arnica oil is already blended in for added support. My analgesics also contain Arnica, and I keep pure Arnica oil on tap for times when clients need a more concentrated application. It is one of my go-to products after medi and biomagnetic cupping, as well as after any deep connective tissue work. It helps reduce post-session tenderness and encourages faster recovery. I use other creams and lotions that do have Arnica, and for clients who prefer that menthol and peppermint cooling feeling, I do have Relief Cream and Lasting Touch available as well. Arnica is a great addition to your first aid kit. I personally use it for tension headaches, migraines, relief after a workout or injury, and it is an excellent option to purchase ahead of time for your postoperative aftercare regimen. Arnica pellets and gel are also helpful for trauma-related injuries such as sprains and surgeries. Arnica is also helpful for mild bruising or soreness that may occur in consensual BDSM activities. Whether you are healing from surgery, dealing with chronic tension, or simply want a reliable natural remedy on hand, Arnica is a solid go-to product for everyday care.

Losing a pet can be just as devastating as losing a human family member or loved one. When a companion who greeted you every day, followed you around the house, and offered unconditional love suddenly isn’t there, it leaves a painful emptiness that is hard to put into words. That daily presence, the routines, the sounds, and the quirks become memories overnight, and those memories can be incredibly melancholy and overwhelming. For many people, the loss of a pet isn’t “just losing an animal.” It is losing one of your family members as well as your emotional support system. Grief affects every layer of your being. You may notice that your body holds tension you didn’t know you were carrying. You might feel physically exhausted, mentally foggy, or emotionally scattered. Grief often disrupts the nervous system and can push you into a state where your body stays on high alert, even when you want to rest. This can lead to poor sleep, insomnia, jaw tension, headaches, back pain, digestive discomfort, and even symptoms that feel like depression. When the holidays come around, when routines change, emotions run high, and memories feel stronger, these sensations may intensify. This is where massage therapy can gently support you. My intention is never to fix grief or rush your healing. Grief deserves time, space, and compassion. What I provide is a safe place for your body to settle so your nervous system can regulate. Through therapeutic touch, energy work, craniosacral therapy, and myofascial release, your nervous system has an opportunity to shift out of survival mode. When muscles soften and the body feels supported, your mind often becomes a little clearer, and the emotional load feels a little lighter. Each modality encourages your nervous system to unwind: Massage therapy  helps release tension stored in the muscles, allowing the body to relax in ways it may not be able to on its own. Energy work  supports emotional flow, grounding, and calming the subtle layers of stress that build during grief. Craniosacral therapy  helps the nervous system regulate itself, reducing anxiety, overwhelm, and sleep disturbances. Myofascial release  can free emotional holding patterns that get trapped in the connective tissue during shock or sadness. These sessions do not erase grief, but they create space for you to feel without collapsing under the weight of those feelings. They give you a moment where your body is not fighting to keep itself together. Over time, clients often notice improved sleep, steadier emotions, easier breathing, and a little more inner space to move through the day. Grief after losing a pet is real. It matters. And you do not have to carry it alone. When you are ready, I am here to hold space for you, gently, compassionately, and without judgment, as you navigate this solemn part of your life.
