When I had my very first massage business in North Carolina I hand painted my gift certificates. They weren’t great, but I liked the personal touch.
Trying out watercolor now. Got a nice set for Mother’s Day. Took the full day off work, hiked with the family & painted a few hours.
Found out the day is very long when you don’t see clients!

I run two small businesses—just me behind both of them.
So I feel this one deeply.

If you’ve ever wondered how to support a small business without spending money, here are 4 powerful ways:

• Follow them on social media
• Like their posts
• Comment (it matters more than you think)
• Leave a review

These small actions help us reach more people, build trust, and keep doing the work we care about.

If you’ve supported my work in any of these ways—thank you. It doesn’t go unnoticed.

And if there’s a small business you love, this is your reminder to show them a little support today. 💛

Yesterday the power went off for an hour and a half on our street. However, I was able to work uninterrupted since last fall we put on solar panels and a battery back up.
A power outage isn’t going to  stop me from working !

Got a nice thank you note after working with a new client. We were doing a face focused session to relax but her recent low back pain wouldn't allow her to get comfortable. So I made an adjustment with her bolstering and since it worked so well talked her through how to sleep like this while recovering:

"Thank you for teaching me about the pillow under the calf trick. I did it at home last night and slept a full night for the first time in 2 weeks bc I wasn’t in pain all night! I’m so full of gratitude for you. 🙏🏽"

This offer stands every year. If you’re coming in for a session and your daughter is a Girl Scout you may bring a box of cookies and I’ll buy it from you.

I’ve been doing a lot of deep harvesting from my community garden plot since there’s an upcoming freeze. Clients have been getting a bag of produce. I’ve even run out of bags and then started wrapping kale in newspaper!

Before and after of my nonsurgical facelift buccal massage session. Notice her face is more slim (puffiness went down) and her eyes look more open.

A financial donation has been made in the honor of all my clients to Sustainable Food Center for yet another year. They have a history of supporting local food growers so that more people in our community have food access, preparation knowledge, and gardening skills. Now more than ever we need this rooted in our community to feed our neighbors and our collective children.

Please consider this your holiday gift from my office and my family to all of us.
