📅🍂 September Hours + Fall Scheduling Reminder

As summer winds down, I’m making a few changes to my regular clinic hours beginning September 1, with more consistent availability throughout the week and additional evening options.

New regular hours:

Mon: 10:00–4:00
Tues: 10:00–7:00
Wed: 10:00–4:00
Thurs: 10:00–7:00
Fri: Closed
Sat: 10:00–2:00 — every other Saturday
Sun: Closed

Thank you to everyone who shared feedback through my client survey! Your input has been incredibly helpful, especially around increasing evening availability. 🤎

🍂 A little fall scheduling reminder:
With “insurance season” approaching, especially for those whose benefits renew January 1, appointments can fill quickly toward the end of the year. If you’re hoping to use your benefits before they renew, I encourage you to book ahead to secure the times that work best for you.

Looking for something outside my regular hours? You’re welcome to join the waitlist through Jane and include your preferred date and time. While I can’t guarantee additional availability, it helps me see where there’s demand and accommodate requests when possible.

Please note: I’ll be closed Monday, September 7.

A little planning now can make year-end scheduling much less stressful. 🍁

Thank you, as always, for your continued support. 🤎

✨ Treatment Room Opportunity ✨

I'm opening my treatment room to another independent practitioner and thought I'd put some feelers out for the right fit.

I'm looking for someone who shares similar values around client care, health, and healing—someone who is kind, respectful, professional, and genuinely enjoys creating a calm, welcoming environment for their clients.

Ideally, you:
🌿 Have an established client base
🌿 Are looking primarily for afternoons/evenings and every other weekend
🌿 Are clean, organized, and respectful of shared spaces
🌿 Value good communication, collaboration, and mutual respect

The space would be a great fit for another massage therapist (prenatal, sports, deep tissue, etc.) or a complementary wellness practitioner whose work naturally fits within a calm, professional treatment environment.

The room is already set up as a professional treatment space and includes:
✨ AHS-approved sink
✨ Treatment table
✨ Concierge reception for you and your clients
✨ Member kitchen and laundry facilities
✨ Utilities included
✨ Storage for your own linens, products, and supplies
✨ A warm, peaceful, professional atmosphere that's ready for you and your clients

It's a great option for someone who wants a professional treatment space without the expense and work of furnishing and outfitting a room from scratch.

I'm not in a rush to fill the space. Finding someone whose approach to their clients and their business aligns with mine is much more important to me than simply filling the room. Ideally, this would be a space we both enjoy coming to, where we can work independently while still being respectful and supportive of one another.

If this sounds like you—or someone you know—feel free to send me a DM.

Hello August ☀️ The final full month of summer always carries a unique energy—long days, shifting routines, and the quiet approach of a new school year for many.

This is often a meaningful time to book in for massage as schedules begin to transition and the pace of life starts to shift toward fall. Supporting your body now can help ease that adjustment and create a more grounded entry into the next season.

Whether you’re holding onto summer or slowly preparing for busier routines ahead, this is a great time to check in with yourself and your wellbeing.

Massage therapy is a professional healthcare service and is always provided within a clear, respectful therapeutic framework. While customs and cultural understandings around touch and bodywork vary globally, my studio is maintained as a professional space focused on client care, safety, and therapeutic intent.

To support this, I uphold clear policies that help ensure a safe and consistent environment for both clients and practitioners. I have a Notice of Conduct & Right to Refuse Service in place, which means abusive language, inappropriate behaviour, or any actions that compromise safety or respect will not be tolerated. I also reserve the right to refuse or discontinue service when treatment is not safe, appropriate, or in the best interest of the client.

My cancellation policy requires 24 hours’ notice for any changes or cancellations, with a $65 fee applied to late cancellations or missed appointments. This helps protect appointment availability and respects the time reserved specifically for each client. Continued late changes may result in pre-payment requirements or discharge from care.

To support a calm treatment environment, I ask that phones remain on silent or do not disturb during sessions, unless otherwise discussed ahead of time for urgent circumstances.

For privacy and comfort, photos and recordings are not permitted during sessions unless mutually agreed upon in advance by both client and practitioner.

These policies are in place to protect the integrity of the therapeutic space and ensure every person who walks through the door experiences a respectful, grounded, and supportive environment. Your understanding and cooperation are genuinely appreciated.

Month at a Glance – July ☀️

Summer is officially here—and hopefully the sunshine will be joining us soon. As the season unfolds, bringing changing routines and often a busier, more spontaneous pace, this is a gentle reminder to check in with yourself and continue making time for rest, recovery, and caring for your body.

As you're enjoying more time outdoors, don't forget to protect your skin by wearing sunscreen, staying hydrated, and taking steps to prevent sunburn. A little prevention goes a long way toward supporting your overall health this summer.

If massage therapy is part of your wellness routine, I encourage booking appointments a few weeks in advance whenever possible. Summer schedules tend to fill more quickly, and planning ahead helps you secure your preferred appointment times while taking advantage of the Consistent Care Benefit, available when your next visit is booked within 2–4 weeks.

Updated Studio Hours – Effective July 1, 2026

My regular massage therapy hours will be:

• Every other Tuesday: 11:00–3:00 or 11:00–7:00
• Wednesday: 11:00–3:00
• Friday: 11:00–7:00
• Saturdays (typically two per month): 10:00–3:00

These adjustments are intended to better support both client care and the long-term sustainability of my practice while maintaining the consistency many of you requested in the client feedback survey earlier this spring. The online booking schedule has been updated to reflect these new hours.

Thank you, as always, for your continued trust and support. I hope July brings plenty of sunshine, opportunities to recharge, and moments to slow down and care for yourself. ☀️

Educational Update: Certified Lymphedema Therapist (CLT)

During my time away in May, I travelled to Denver to complete the Complete Lymphedema Certification through the Academy of Lymphatic Studies (ACOLS). I originally completed this training back in 2016, when it was known as Manual Lymph Drainage & Complete Decongestive Therapy.

Since then, I’ve continued to study lymphatic drainage through a variety of additional courses and instructors, which has allowed me to explore different philosophies, techniques, and clinical approaches. Even though I felt confident in my knowledge and hands-on experience working with clients living with lymphedema and lipedema, I made the intentional decision to revisit and "renew" this certification.

My goal in doing so was to deepen my foundation, reinforce best-practice approaches, and open doors to further advanced training opportunities. I’m especially looking forward to continuing education through ACOLS and expanding my work in this area even further.

Sharing a few glimpses from the classroom and study experience as well—such a meaningful reminder that learning in this field is truly ongoing.💛

☀️ Sun Safety Reminder ☀️

With the warmer weather here, it’s a great time to remember that your skin can be more sensitive to the sun after a massage — especially if massage oils, lotions, or essential oils were used during your treatment. Certain ingredients can increase photosensitivity, meaning your skin may burn more easily with sun exposure.

This can also apply to essential oils used outside of treatment, including oils added to diffuser jewelry such as bracelets or necklaces, which may remain in contact with the skin throughout the day.

A few simple sun safety tips:
• Avoid prolonged direct sun exposure after treatment
• Apply and reapply sunscreen regularly
• Wear protective clothing or seek shade when possible
• Stay hydrated, especially on hot days
• Be mindful of citrus or other photosensitive essential oils on the skin

Massage and sunshine can both feel great — your skin just deserves a little extra care in between ☀️💆‍♀️

For anyone interested in learning more about essential oil safety, I’ll be sharing a link in the comments to Flo Aromatherapy’s Essential Oil Safety page. It provides helpful information on general safety considerations, including sun exposure, as well as guidance for children, pregnancy, and pets.

Massage Essentials & Etiquette: Products & Sensitivities

Please let me know about any sensitivities or allergies to scents, topical products, or environmental factors (such as strong pet dander or specific food triggers). Ideally, these are noted in your intake form, and you’re always welcome to update me if anything changes.

I will always do my best to minimize exposure to known sensitivities within the treatment room. However, please note that I work within a shared co-working space, and I am unable to fully control the broader environment.

The products currently used in my practice include Flo Aromatherapy massage oils (made with fractionated coconut oil, available in both blended and unscented options), essential oil diffuser blends, Japanese mint oil with arnica, and a lavender water linen spray.

For foot-focused treatments, I now use Eucerin Complete Repair 5% Urea, which supports hydration and skin barrier health while gently softening dry or rough skin. In some cases, a 40% urea cream may be used for more intensive callus or thickened skin care when appropriate.

I continue to use Flo Aromatherapy products for general massage work, chosen for their quality, versatility, and availability in both scented and unscented formulations to support client comfort.

If you have any concerns or sensitivities, please let me know prior to your appointment so adjustments can be made wherever possible to support your comfort and safety.

Sharing a look at June’s schedule, including studio days and any planned time off, as we head into the summer season ☀️

With school wrapping up for many kids and teens, routines and schedules often begin to shift. This can be a great time to prioritize self-care and stay ahead of summer busyness by planning your massage appointments in advance.

A gentle reminder that I offer a consistent care benefit for clients who rebook within 2 weeks or 4 weeks. These shorter intervals not only support your body in maintaining progress between sessions, but also come with a small thank-you in the form of a reduced rate as part of that ongoing care.

Many clients find that booking ahead helps them stay more consistent with their treatment plan, while also securing preferred appointment times during busier seasons.

There may also be some updates to studio hours and availability coming later this summer and into the fall, and I’ll share more details as plans are finalized.🌺
