Did you know that the average head weighs around 11 pounds? That’s a lot to carry around and be supported by only 7 vertebrae on your neck. Regular therapeutic massage can help ease some of the tension and pain that is often held in the neck muscles . . . and it feels good.

The Double Unwind
In Business, CT, for sale, Indulge, Manchester, Massage, self care, Specials, Uncategorized on September 7, 2017 at 10:30 AMI have news to share. Many of you know that back in February I had to leave the original location of the studio unexpectedly. For the past six months or so I’ve been improvising in make shift spaces, and for a short time have been sharing a room with a new yoga instructor.
The news: we are relocating and expanding our current space.
I’ll be back on Main St in Manchester – just a few doors in the opposite direction of my original spot. A local man has purchased the old armory in town and has plans to rehab it and lease spaces to local businesses. When I walk through the building I have visions of it being an artist / wellness spot in town – there’s so much potential!!
To welcome you to the new location I’ve teamed up with the yoga instructor, Ellen Mangiafico, to create a special for the month of November. Grab a friend and come in for an hour of unwinding for only $50 each!! You’ll get a half hour massage and a half hour one-on-one yoga session at an enormously reduced rate.
I’m excited for you to come see our new location and to continue to grow and expand in Manchester.
**Note – we will be moving into our new spot sometime in October. Until then you can still receive normal services at our current location on East Center Street.
Book your next service online HERE.

14 things I’ve learned since leaving massage school : #5
In CT, Indulge, Manchester, Massage, self care, Uncategorized on March 22, 2016 at 5:44 PM(March 15th marked 14 years since my first day of massage school out in Port Townsend, WA. I spent a little time reflecting on what Iâve learned from having my hands on countless bodies of all different shapes, sizes, and levels of health over the years. Â In random order here are some of my observations and things I wish my clients knew.)
#5 Â Itâs an honor to work with you.
Back when I started my first practice in CT, over 12 years ago now, I had a client come to me to receive massage while she went through her treatment for cancer. I felt unqualified and a little bit nervous to lay my hands on this beautiful soul. At the time I was still fairly fresh out of school and I hadnât done any long term work with anyone battling that disease. For various reasons, at that time there was still some lingering debate going on about whether or not it was even OK to do certain types of bodywork while a patient was receiving treatment. Â [The landscape has changed a lot since then.]
Needless to say we proceeded mindfully and with approval from her doctor. We were intentional about communication, not doing work that was too deep for her to be able to process, etc. Â As the months went by we were doing less physical bodywork and more laying on of hands and energy work because that was all she could handle. My client was losing her battle with cancer and continued to come see me week after week because she needed a safe place to be. She needed to be witnessed. She needed a place to fall apart before she went back to her husband and children at home. Â The simple, but powerful art of therapeutic touch gave her comfort and helped fill her spirit just enough to get through a few more hours.
I was heartbroken when I heard she lost her battle with cancer. All these years later I am still awed that she choose me and trusted me to share those sacred moments with her. I consider myself lucky to have spent that time with her and I still feel that way today any time a new client chooses to trust me with their well-being for an hour or so. It is an honor to work with you. â„
14 things I’ve learned since leaving massage school : #2

#2 Wherever you are in your self-care journey is OK
Yesterday I encouraged you to consider not drinking that quad espresso before arriving for your relaxing massage appointment.
I also need to state that, if you do â itâs OK.
Just show up. Be as present as you can. Do your best to just BE in your body. Let go of an attachment to the outcome of your session time and simply pay attention to what your body may be telling you.
The massage room is a no-judgment zone.
Sometimes youâre going to come in and zone right out. Other times youâre going to chat nonstop because itâs the only way to let yourself unwind. You may get one massage a year because you still feel guilty taking âme-timeâ or because thatâs what your budget allows. Sometimes youâll come in once a week and think a 90 minute massage isnât enough time because you know that the more your needs are met, the more of you there is to offer to your loved ones. Itâs all good.
One of my favorite regular clients was an older woman who started taking care of herself much later in life. She said she didnât start understanding the value of self-care until she was an âold lady.â
At our first meeting she told me (para phrasing), âLook â this is my body. Take it or leave it. Itâs been well used. Itâs birthed children. It has scars and wobbly bits. There is a tattoo where most people will never see it and hair growing in places I wish it wouldnât. Iâve spent my whole life taking care of others, putting myself last or not on the list at all. Iâve never felt worthy of this kind of indulgence. Now I know. Life goes by fast. People I spent my whole life nurturing have died. I worked 40 years at a job and never felt appreciated. Now my body is breaking down and there is no one here to piece me back together. Â I deserve to be loved, nurtured, valued and respected. Iâm making up for lost time here doll, so make it good!â
It took her most of her life to learn how to receive, but once she figured out how valuable she was nothing was going to stand in her way. I know you deserve to carve out time to take care of you. My client knows it too. And wherever you are on that journey â whatever kind of time and space you carve out, or don’t – Â however you show up â is perfectly OK.
