December bookings are NOW OPEN! ✨️

A little early holiday gift... more appointment availability! 🎁

I've officially opened my December schedule, and I'll be extending my availability to 5 days a week between now and Dec 23rd, including half-days on Fridays!

With the holiday hustle approaching, I wanted to make a little extra room for those looking to address persistent aches and pains, improve mobility, or simply take some much-needed time for themselves before the year wraps up.

And let's not forget those extended health benefits! 👀

If your insurance coverage renews in January, now is a great time to check your remaining benefits and make use of them before the year ends!

Whether you're continuing your treatment journey or looking to reconnect with your body, I'd love to see you!

🌿 December appointments are available to book online now!

A little reminder that practitioners are human, too...

As someone who spends so much of my time caring for others (and genuinely LOVES doing so), I sometimes forget about the person who needs a little care, too. Myself.

Our bodies are our vessels. They carry us through absolutely everything life throws our way. And when we forget to nurture them, sometimes they have a way of reminding us.

And well... here I am. 😂

Burnt out, fighting off whatever lovely cold or flu decided to make itself at home, and feeling rather woozy and uncomfortable. Thankfully, I'm on the mend!

Today, I'm wrapping up my TAC (Trauma, ANS & Concussion) course, and something about today's material really hit home.

Sometimes, we disconnect from ourselves without even realizing it.

Not intentionally. Not because we don't care. But because life happens. Trauma happens. Loss happens. And sometimes we're so busy navigating everything around us that we forget to check in with what's happening within us.

This has been a tricky year.

Experiencing a loss that wasn't supposed to happen. Navigating the changes that follow. Watching how grief and unexpected circumstances shift things within ourselves, our loved ones, our relationships, and the world around us.

It's uncomfortable, isn't it?

And sometimes, the hardest part is accepting that we can't control everything.

I'm incredibly thankful for my RAPID mentors and the reminders throughout this course about reconnecting with ourselves, recognizing what IS within our control, and learning to face discomfort rather than constantly trying to escape it.

Because sometimes, that's where growth begins.

So yes, I'm currently a walking contagion. 😂
But being home, wallowing in my misery, has also given me something I haven't allowed myself much of lately.

Time to sit with myself.

To reflect. To recognize how much I've been carrying. And to acknowledge the fear that comes with slowing down, especially as a self-employed practitioner.

Because taking time off doesn't just mean resting. Sometimes it means cancelled appointments, lost income, guilt, and worrying about the people who were counting on you.

But here's the thing...

I can't continue showing up for others if I forget to show up for myself.

And perhaps that's the biggest reminder I've taken from this week.

Our bodies aren't just something we work with, push through discomfort, or expect to keep going. They're something we live within. Something worth reconnecting with, listening to, and caring for.

Life happens. It challenges us, changes us, and sometimes knocks us right off our feet. But those experiences don't have to define us. How we choose to move forward matters.

Here's to reconnecting with ourselves, even when life gets a little messy...

And to my fellow caregivers, practitioners, and anyone who's been carrying a little too much lately... remember, you're allowed to need care, too.

Sincerely,
Jasmine

❤️‍🩹 INFLAMMATION: It's not always the enemy.

We've been conditioned to think inflammation is something we need to get rid of.

Swelling? Reduce it.
Pain? Suppress it.
Inflammation? Shut it down.

But here's something I wish more people understood...

Inflammation is actually one of your body's first responses to injury, and it plays an important role in healing.

When tissue becomes injured, your body gets to work. And there's a whole lot happening behind the scenes!

🩸 1. Blood flow increases.
Blood vessels widen, helping deliver oxygen, nutrients, and immune cells to the affected area.

🧹 2. The cleanup crew arrives.
Specialized immune cells help clear damaged tissue, debris, and potential threats, preparing the area for repair.

🧬 3. Repair signals get to work.
Inflammatory signals help coordinate the next stages of healing, including the activity of cells involved in tissue repair.

🌿 4. New tissue begins to form.
Cells such as fibroblasts help produce collagen and rebuild damaged connective tissue.

🤍 5. The inflammatory response gradually settles.
As healing progresses, the body works to resolve inflammation and remodel the repaired tissue.

Pretty cool, right?

Now, does that mean ALL inflammation is good? Absolutely not.

There's a difference between the temporary, controlled inflammation that supports healing and inflammation that becomes excessive, persistent, or poorly regulated.

The goal isn't to eliminate inflammation. It's to support a healthy healing response.

And this is one of the reasons my approach to pain management and recovery continues to evolve.

The more I learn about the nervous system, pain, and the body's repair processes, the more I appreciate just how much is happening beneath the surface.

Sometimes understanding why our bodies respond the way they do can completely change how we approach recovery.

Oh... Did you know inflammation actually plays a role in repairing injured tissue?

Something is brewing behind the scenes... 👀

For the next month and a half, I’ll be quietly working on something that feels like a very natural next step for my practice.

It’s not exactly new...

More like another piece of the puzzle finally clicking into place!

And if you know how much I love helping people understand their bodies, move better, and feel more capable in them... you might have a few guesses. 😉

For now, though?

A little Stillpoint info - because I've been getting this question lately 🤍

“What’s the difference between the 45, 60 & 75 minutes?”

The short answer?
Same intention. Different depth.

The 45-minute is my little reset... perfect when you need a moment to come down, quiet the noise and let your nervous system settle.

The 60-minute gives us more room. This is where I incorporate the full facial ritual with cleansing + hot towels, alongside more complete craniosacral work. There's less choosing and more time to simply follow what your body needs that day.

And the 75-minute Extended Stillpoint is for when you want to stay there a little longer. 🤍

It includes everything from the 60, but with more time to linger... more craniosacral work, more face + scalp, more space to work with specific areas, and absolutely no need to rush the experience.

Basically...

45: I need a reset.
60: Give me the full experience.
75: Please don't make me get off this table yet. 😂

Hopefully this makes choosing your Stillpoint a little easier.

Available Mondays during Mellow Mondays at Cedar & Sea 🌿

I've been playing around with this one for a little bit...

I've had clients come in specifically wanting RAPID for headaches, migraines, jaw tension or that relentless head/neck tension... but sometimes they're already so overstimulated by the time they get through the door that their whole system is basically saying absolutely NOT.

The lights. Sounds. People. Talking. Being touched. Then asking them to move through RAPID techniques on top of it?

Sometimes it's just too much in that moment.

And yes, I am a STRONG RAPID advocate. 😂 I love it. I believe in the work I do with it, and you've probably heard me nerd out about it more than once...

But I'm also human.

I understand those days when everything already feels like too much and you just want to ask,

“Can you just meet me halfway?”

Headspace is my halfway.

It's a 30-minute, quiet, low-stimulation treatment focused around the head, jaw and neck. After a quick check-in, you get to settle in and you really don't have to talk to me 😶

Depending on what you're coming in with, I might work with the jaw and face, scalp and occipitals, neck, intraoral TMJ work (with consent!), Craniosacral Therapy, or other gentle hands-on techniques. And if it feels right, we can weave in a few RAPID techniques alongside the quieter work... giving your body a chance to experience RAPID without feeling like we're throwing everything at it at once.

But Headspace isn't only for headaches or TMJ.

It's also for the person who lives in chaos. Whose brain has had 47 tabs open all day. Who wants some hands-on care but doesn't necessarily want a full massage, a facial, or an appointment where they have to be “on.”

Come in comfy clothes. Tell me what's bugging you. Then you can just... be quiet, and I'll do the thinking for a bit. 🤍

I've been creating something... new-ish... and September feels like the perfect time to finally let it settle in. 🌿

You may have already seen that Mellow Mondays are beginning at Cedar & Sea and with them, my new Stillpoint treatments are officially launched!

This one feels like such a beautiful blend of so many pieces of my practice...

Stillpoint is a fully clothed, cozy treatment where you can quite literally come in, get tucked under the blankets and settle in (depending on goals - a robe may be provided for targeted treatments). It blends Craniosacral Therapy with a beautiful facial experience - slow, quiet hands-on work, nourishing facial elements, from 45 minutes or an hour where you really don't have to do anything.

But because I'm still me, there's a therapeutic side tucked in there too. 😂

For those who deal with recurring migraines or that stubborn neck and shoulder tension, I can weave in a little targeted RAPID work where it's needed before returning to the slower, quieter rhythm of the treatment.

It's not quite a facial.
It's not quite Craniosacral Therapy.
It's definitely not a massage.

It's a little bit of everything I've come to love about creating a treatment where someone can feel cared for and have their individual needs listened to.

And I'm keeping these special.

Stillpoint will only be offered on Mondays, when Cedar & Sea is intentionally at its quietest. Kristina and I are turning Mondays into our Mellow Mondays - softer voices, slower treatments, cozy rooms and a calm start to the week before the usual happy bustle of the studio begins.

I'm really, really excited to finally bring this one to my treatment room. 🤍

Stillpoint is now available to book for Mellow Mondays!
