Have achievable goals. There are many reasons to get regular therapeutic massage. You can come in once a month as part of your complementary / preventative healthcare routine to help you reduce overall stress and increase a sense of calm and peace. You can also come in to reduce pain, increase range of movement, improve sleep. It is important to maintain realistic session goals. For example, if you have discomfort and limited mobility from twenty years of hard, repetitive movement at a job, it is probably not going to go away in one sixty minute massage treatment.
What could be possible is the pain going from a ten to a six; range of motion improving by a few inches; anxiety around what is going on in the body decreases; willingness to do follow up self-care at home, like stretching, walking, or drinking more water increases. Healing often comes in small increments and over time how you live in your body will feel freer and easier.

More tips to follow . . .
[See tip No. 1 here. See tip No. 2 here. See tip No. 3 here.]
Communicate. Before you ever step into the office, communication is important. A health intake form is sent via a secured site so that you can take your time to fill it out, completely, without pressure. Amongst other things, we are looking for contraindications, to be sure it is safe for you to receive massage, and for your session goals, to gauge if our style of working and accumulated CEU’s align with your desired outcome. Once you are in the office, please take a minute to let us know what is going on that day. Do you just want to relax or is there a knot in your shoulder that you would like us to address? Let us know about superficial adjustments as well. Is the heat on the table too much? Would you prefer different music? Does it feel better to have a pillow under your head when you are supine?
We are invested in creating an environment that feels safe and relaxing and want you to leave feeling a little better than when you arrived. Each person who walks through our door experiences life in their body differently. To one person the lightest touch can feel painful, and to another all the pressure we can muster feels like nothing. While many bodyworkers are intuitive and are looking for clues to how the body is responding to the work, we cannot read your mind, and it is ok to speak up and let us know what is going on.

Whether you sit at a desk, spend time driving, or work a physically intensive job – we all hold a lot of tension in the head, neck, and shoulders. Come in for a massage session that focuses on just those areas, along with the face, to help ease the mind, reduce your stress load, and support a better night sleep. This slow, calming work will be done on a heated massage table and will employ Swedish Massage, acupressure, and facial rejuvenation techniques.
Pamper your tired feet! Enjoy thirty luxurious minutes of having your feet revived. We’ll employ a combination of massage and reflexology techniques, along with hot towels and a soothing / cooling lotion with a blend of wintergreen, camphor, peppermint, blue tansy, sweet almond and eucalyptus oils.

It’s been twenty years since I graduated from massage school! Can’t believe how fast the time has gone by. I’m going to share twenty random things in several different videos. Could be about school itself, things your massage therapist wants you to know, self care practices to try at home, things I’ve learned, etc.
This is video eight and thing number eighteen – hot stone massage & cupping therapy. I did this once before when it had been 14 years and shared the reflections on this website as written posts. Just type ’14 things’ in the search bar and they’ll pop up. I’d love to see you soon. You can click ‘Book Now’ under the Massage tab and find your way to your next appointment. :)

Massage Is For Every Body
I have so much to say about this that I made video after video, just trying to keep it short. My hair was cute and curled at the start … and slowly frizzed out as I got more frustrated at trying to contain a topic that I have so many thoughts and feelings about.
If you’d like to have conversation about this, please reach out.
