I had the opportunity to sit with my friend, Aleia MacDonald, and chat about how it’s a privilege to being someone’s Health Coach.
Thank you, Aleia!

Have you ever wondered why I prefer starting you face up for a massage? This is why…
Little things make a BIG difference. Understanding fluid flow routes and pipes is one of those things.

Supply chain logistics or how the body works in healing. Blood flow in. Blood flow out.

You can have a blood flow issue far removed from where your pain is that impacts your ability to heal. Why? You are a closed container. All pipes connect.

Where you release first is a huge deal in how the body reacts to therapy. From a nervous system fight or flight standpoint and how fluids move based on your pressure changing flow.
Like an Uber big deal.

That’s our perspective…Know your flow!!

My books are closed/fully booked until mid January 2024. Get on the waitlist now.

20 years ago today, I graduated massage therapy school from Irene’s Myomassolgy Institute

I am deeply grateful for all of my clients that I have been able to serve. It’s truly an honor. I stand of the shoulder of giants, and I too, hope one day to pay it forward.

Look what’s coming to TABMASSAGE to increase your vitality and recovery.

📍ELEVATE YOUR SAUNA SESH TO SUPPORT DETOX 📍 Here’s a few tips I’ve learned over the 10 years of using sauna therapy 💁🏼‍♀️

🔗 IN BIO—“ALI20” on Therasage ❤️

💧 HYDRATION: Ensure adequate fluids before, during, and after your sauna session

💧 ELECTROLYTES: Replace electrolytes and minerals pre, during & post sauna sesh (faves in bio)

💧SWEAT ASSIST: If you have trouble sweating, try some freshly brewed ginger tea with fresh squeezed lemon—not only will it elevate core temperature, but ginger is also a diaphoretic and has a hyperthermic response, so encourages perspiration

💧TOWEL OFF: Have a towel ready to swipe off sweat (toxins) as you go and be sure to take a binder to prevent their recirculation + deposition. Shower immediately after for the same reason! 🚿

💧 GO EASY: Start LOW (temp, duration) and build up SLOWLY. I started a decade ago at 90 degrees for 5 minutes and gradually increased my tolerance from there.

My favorite portable sauna here is made from nontoxic bamboo construction.

Some of its features:

✔️ Natural Bamboo Wooden Chair
✔️ Bamboo Infrared Foot Panel
✔️ Built-in Earthing Mat
✔️ Non-Toxic Bamboo Materials
✔️ No VOCs
✔️ No Off-Gassing
✔️ Full Spectrum InfraRed Frequencies

It’s portable and comes in handy for helping detox on the road.

💦 WHY USE SAUNA? 💦 Studies suggest we excrete in sweat:

I. xenoestrogens like bisphenol A (BPA)
2. some heavy metals like aluminum, cobalt, cadmium, & lead
3. some persistent organic pollutants (PCBs)
4. some endocrine disruptors (phthalates)
5. some mold toxins (mycotoxins) like ochratoxin A

It is ESSENTIAL in this increasingly toxic day and age to ensure that we are SWEATING on a regular basis to lower toxic burdens!
