Oh man I look so tired. This is how I feel! Goodnight! Let’s see what I look like after a good night sleep LOL 😂

Wondering why my face looks like that?! 😂🥵 A 30-minute hip hop ride with Alex Toussaint will do it!!

When he “suggests” something, you just DO IT! 🚴‍♀️🔥 Sweaty, exhausted, and still loving every minute… okay, maybe once it’s over! 🤣

Thinking of everyone on this wonderful day! Hope each of you were able to share your thanksgiving with your loved ones!! Happy thanksgiving and have a wonderful day!

Why Are Massage Therapists So Busy This Time of Year? 🤔💆‍♀️

Take it from someone who has been massaging for over 21 years — September through December is absolute MADNESS in the massage therapy world! 😂

Every year, like clockwork, the mad dash begins!

Why? Two words: INSURANCE BENEFITS!

Some people have forgotten to use their massage benefits throughout the year and suddenly realize that their unused coverage doesn’t roll over into the next year.

Others have been saving their benefits for that “just in case I need them” moment. Then December starts creeping up, they’ve been feeling pretty good all year, and suddenly it’s…

“OH NO! I HAVEN’T USED MY BENEFITS!” 😱

And just like that, everyone wants an appointment!

Of course, not everyone’s benefits renew in January, but for those whose plans follow the calendar year, the countdown is ON!

After 21 years, I know exactly what’s coming.

In fact, my husband knows that planning a vacation between September and December is pretty much out of the question! 😂

He also knows something else about me…

I have a REALLY hard time saying NO! ❤️

When someone calls looking for an appointment, especially when they’re hurting or desperately trying to get in before their benefits expire, I always want to find a way to squeeze them in.

And I know I’m not the only massage therapist who does this!

But here’s my little reminder to everyone:

Your massage benefits aren’t just something to use up at the end of the year. They’re there to help you take care of yourself ALL YEAR LONG!

Regular massage therapy can be part of managing muscle tension, discomfort, stress, and maintaining your overall well-being.

So, if you’re one of those people who suddenly remembered you have benefits left…

BOOK NOW! 📅

And if you can’t find an appointment, get yourself on our waiting lists. Cancellations happen, and you never know when a spot might open up!

❤️ From a massage therapist who loves what she does, even during the end-of-year madness!

Forgot to post this! Walking my dogs and this wonderful sight!!!

created this image of my pups getting a massage! Love@it!

I get asked a lot of how the laser works. In past I would say “more info on my website” I created this little poster to help explain quickly what the laser does to help promote rapid healing especially when you have an injury or chronic pain that decides to flare up!

New patient just going over health history form and I couldn’t help but laugh out loud when I got to hobbies and expectations from the massage !

Let’s play a game: which is worse??
