Let me introduce to you Nanette, our fabulous new Lomi Lomi therapist @ Hartington!

Nanette offers Heartworks Lomi Lomi – a deeply nurturing Hawaiian bodywork that supports the body and nervous system to soften, unwind, and return to balance. Using warm plant-based essential oils alongside slow, long-flowing, rhythmic strokes with the hands and forearms, the body is guided into a state of deep rest, relaxation, and ease.

Nanette’s work bridges traditional bodywork, somatic awareness and energetic sensitivity, creating sessions that are both grounding and intuitive.

That moment when your social battery wasn't prepared for actual conversation.
We all have different ways of connecting and communicating. Some people recharge through quick text exchanges. Others need the energy of real-time conversation. Some prefer typing out their thoughts, while others think better out loud.
Your communication style isn't right or wrong - it's just yours. Maybe you text because it gives you time to process your thoughts. Maybe they call because they connect better through tone and spontaneous conversation.
The awkwardness isn't about incompatibility - it's about two different but equally valid approaches to human connection bumping into each other unexpectedly.
Social batteries come in different sizes and recharge in different ways. Respecting these differences (including your own) isn't antisocial - it's self-aware.
Sometimes the most caring thing you can do is understand how you and others prefer to connect, then communicate those needs clearly.
Different doesn't mean difficult. Just different.

Social battery wasn't prepared for actual conversation.
Text people and Call people both exist.
Neither is wrong.
Both can be awkward when they collide.
Different communication styles, same human need for connection.

When the world feels heavy, you feel it too.
Secondary trauma is real. Hearing about difficult events in your community, witnessing others' pain through news or social media, or simply living in a world where traumatic things happen can create genuine emotional impact.
Your feelings of sadness, anxiety, or overwhelm after learning about distressing events aren't weakness or oversensitivity. They're normal human responses to being connected to your community and caring about others.
Sometimes the weight of the world settles on our shoulders even when we're not directly involved. That emotional residue from others' trauma deserves acknowledgment and care.
Gentle ways to cope when the world feels overwhelming:

Limit news consumption when it becomes too much
Connect with supportive people in your life
Focus on what you can control in your immediate environment
Practice grounding techniques to stay present
Seek professional support when world events feel unmanageable

Your emotional responses to a hurting world show your humanity, not your fragility.

From "wrong with you" to "right for you."
Therapy isn't a repair shop.
It's discovering your strengths, understanding your patterns, and finding what works for your unique situation.

The shift from "wrong with you" to "right for you" changes everything.
Therapy isn't a repair shop where broken people get fixed. It's a space where you discover your existing strengths, understand your patterns, and learn what actually works for your unique situation.
Maybe your sensitivity isn't a flaw - it's emotional intelligence. Maybe your need for routine isn't rigid - it's how you function best. Maybe your way of processing the world is different, not deficient.
The worried dog sees problems to solve. The happy dog sees strengths to understand and build upon.
When you stop trying to fix what's supposedly wrong and start understanding what's genuinely right for you, therapy becomes about growth rather than repair. It becomes about working with your nature rather than against it.
Different perspective, different outcome.

Your feelings are subtle information, not instructions.
Anxiety = highlighting what matters to you
Sadness = pointing to loss that needs acknowledging
Anger = showing boundaries that need attention

That morning coffee moment when your thoughts start swirling with your feelings.
Here's something worth remembering: your feelings are subtle information, not instructions. They're your mind's way of highlighting what deserves attention, but they don't dictate what you need to do about it.
Anxiety might be telling you something matters to you. Sadness could be pointing to a loss that needs acknowledging. Anger might be highlighting a boundary that's been crossed.
The key is learning to listen without immediately reacting. Your emotions are data worth interpreting, not orders that must be followed.
Sometimes the most helpful thing you can do is sit with what you're feeling and ask: "What is this trying to tell me?"
Professional support to understand your inner wisdom.
