📍 WE’RE OFFICIALLY IN THE NEW LOFT! 🏡🩷🐴🐶

After a whole lot of painting, renovating, organizing, moving, reorganizing… and probably a few “what have I gotten myself into?” moments 😂 — The Loft Massage Therapy is officially operating out of its new home at:

📍 152 Townline Rd E, Carleton Place

There are still a few finishing touches to be done (because apparently renovations are never actually finished 🤪), but I am super super SUPER excited to finally start welcoming everyone into this amazing new space that I get to call both home AND The Loft. 🥹🩷

And yes… I am VERY aware that I still owe everyone a proper renovation update post 😂🙈 There has been a lot happening behind the scenes since my last update, and somehow actually doing the renovations took priority over documenting them. Who would’ve thought?! 😂 Renovation update coming soon — I pinky swear promise!

Just like when you first came to the old studio, before your first appointment at the new location I’ll send you the new address, parking information, where to enter, and everything you need to know for your arrival — so nobody has to wonder where the heck they’re going. 😂

I cannot wait for you all to see it in person. This next chapter for The Loft feels pretty darn special. 🥹

New house. New clinic. Same Loft. Same Jenni. Same doggos probably trying to steal the show. 😂🐾

Welcome to 152 Townline Rd E. 🏡🩷

I can’t wait to see you here!

☀️ Tick season is here and they are out in full force.

I had my first tick bite of the year this week, which was a great reminder that daily tick checks really do matter.

Daily checks are always important, but they’re especially important after walks, hikes, trail rides, barn chores, and time spent in long grass or wooded areas.

One of my favourite quick tricks? A lint roller! 🕷️

I keep one handy and use it on myself and the boys 🐶 after being outside. It’s fast, easy, and helps pick up loose ticks before they have a chance to attach. Even better, the adhesive traps them securely so you’re not chasing a tiny tick around trying to get rid of it.

A lint roller is not a replacement for a thorough tick check, but it can be a great first step before you do a hands on inspection.

If you find an attached tick:
✔ Remove it as soon as possible using fine tipped tweezers or a tick removal tool
✔ Grasp it as close to the skin as possible and pull straight out with steady pressure
✔ Clean the area with soap and water or an antiseptic
✔ Save the tick if possible or take a clear photo
✔ Monitor the bite site and your health over the following weeks
✔ Contact your healthcare provider if you develop symptoms such as a rash, fever, fatigue, headaches, muscle aches, or joint pain

Check yourself.
Check your kids.
Check your dogs.
Check your horse.
Check those hard to see spots.

A few minutes now can save a lot of trouble later.

Has anyone else found their first tick of the season yet? 👇🐾🐴

Big things happening at The Loft ✨🪡

I’m SO excited to officially add Medical Acupuncture to my treatment modalities at The Loft Massage Therapy

Recently, I had the opportunity to complete my Medical Acupuncture certification through — an incredible evidence-informed course led by .jason.paj , .thomaslalonde and their amazing team of instructors. ✨

I’m very excited to now be able to incorporate medical acupuncture into treatments, when clinically appropriate, as part of a personalized Massage Therapy treatment plan to better support each client’s individual needs and goals.

So… what is medical acupuncture?

Medical acupuncture is a modern, evidence-informed approach that uses very fine needles to help stimulate the nervous system, reduce pain and tension, improve mobility, and support the body’s natural healing processes.

It can be incredibly helpful for:
• Muscle tension & trigger points
• Headaches & TMJ dysfunction
• Neck & back pain
• Sports injuries & overuse patterns
• Stress & nervous system regulation
• Mobility restrictions & chronic tension patterns

Think of it as another tool in the toolbox — one that pairs beautifully with Massage Therapy and Fascial Stretch Therapy to help get your body moving and feeling better.

And before anyone asks… yes, the needles are tiny. Promise. Tiny enough that the dog hair floating around The Loft is probably more aggressive. 😂

I’m beyond excited to continue expanding my knowledge and bringing more treatment options to my clients so care can be even more individualized, effective, and supportive.

If you’ve been curious about acupuncture, this is your sign to ask questions and give it a try ✨

💪 MUSCLE MONDAY | TEMPORALIS (TMJ)

Your jaw is telling on you.

Clenching. Grinding. Holding tension you don’t even realize is there…
That’s your temporalis working overtime.

Now here’s where it gets interesting 👀

What happens in your jaw doesn’t stay in your jaw.

🧍 In humans:
Jaw tension → neck tension → shoulder restriction → altered posture

🐴 In horses:
Jaw tension → poll restriction → resistance to contact → compromised movement

🐕 In dogs:
Jaw and facial tension → guarding → changes in comfort and behavior

See the pattern?

Tension travels.

If you’re riding with a clenched jaw, tight hands, or braced posture…
your horse feels that. Immediately.

And if your horse is tense through the jaw?
You’ll feel it in the reins, the poll, the whole topline.

It’s a conversation — not a coincidence.

The temporalis is a jaw-closing muscle, but it’s also a major player in:
• stress holding patterns
• TMJ discomfort
• head, neck, and upper body tension
• communication through contact (hello, riders 👀)

Relaxed doesn’t mean lazy.
It means the body can actually move properly.

👇 Be honest:
Do you catch yourself clenching your jaw during the day… or when you ride?

💬 Drop a “😬” if this hit home
💾 Save this for your next ride reminder
📩 DM me if jaw tension is something you’re dealing with (you’re not alone)

Anatomy… but make it real life.

Today isn’t the same for everyone… and that matters. 🤍

To the moms in the thick of it,
the ones running on coffee and love—
we see you.

To those missing their mom,
holding onto memories a little tighter today—
we feel that with you.

To the ones who have complicated relationships,
who don’t have their mom in their life—
your feelings are valid here.

To the ones longing to become moms,
walking a path that isn’t always easy—
you are not alone.

And to the women who show up as moms in any form—
to humans, horses, dogs, or chosen family—
your care, your patience, your love… it counts.

Today is about love in all its forms.
The loud, the quiet, the messy, the beautiful.

However today feels for you—
that’s okay.

🤍
