🪨🌿 Something I have been wanting to share with you —

When I decided to add hot stone massage to Moon Rising, I had a choice to make. Standard basalt stones are the industry norm — and for good reason. But I kept coming back to Himalayan salt stones, and ultimately that is what I invested in. Here is why.

Grey Himalayan salt stones are naturally rich in trace minerals — magnesium, calcium, and iron among them. Grey salt carries a higher mineral concentration than the more common pink variety, and those minerals absorb through the skin during your session. The stones are also naturally antimicrobial, which means no harsh chemical treatments are needed to keep them clean between clients. That matters to me.

I pair them exclusively with pure jojoba oil — a carrier oil that is structurally similar to the skin's own natural sebum. It absorbs beautifully, supports the glide of the stones, and leaves skin feeling nourished rather than greasy.

The result is a treatment that works on multiple levels — deep muscle relaxation from therapeutic heat, nervous system support, and improved circulation. Not because of marketing. Because of how the body responds to warmth, mineral contact, and intentional touch.

This investment shows up in two ways at Moon Rising:
🌿 Himalayan Salt Stone Massage — warm, therapeutic, and deeply grounding
🌿 Earth & Salt Ritual — the full immersive experience, layered with grounding essential oils, black tourmaline crystal placement, BioMat infrared therapy, and an opening intention

Both are available to book now. Link in the comments. 🌙

🌱 Spring has been full around here — longer days, garden prep, baby chicks, and a busier season at work. Life is good, just full. I am finding I have less availability for appointments than anticipated.

I am sure many are in the same boat- As a little thank-you, for your patience and continued support, I'm extending the complimentary Himalayan salt stone add-on through the end of June. 🌙 Book when you can. Relaxation should be about letting go- not checking off that to-do list in your head!

If you've been thinking about booking, June tends to fill up — feel free to grab your spot early. I'd love to see you on the table.

Here are a few chicks new on the farm. Some store bought and a few hatched by the mamma on the left!

🫒 Let me explain something I think more people should know.
You've probably seen the word "bioactive" on skincare labels lately. But what does it actually mean — and why does it matter?
Here's the simplest way I can explain it.

There's a difference between eating a fresh orange and taking a vitamin C tablet. Both contain vitamin C. But the fresh orange delivers it in a form your body immediately recognizes and absorbs. The tablet requires more processing — by the time your body uses it, something has been lost in translation.
Bioactive skincare works the same way. The ingredients are as close to their natural source as possible. Your skin recognizes them. It doesn't have to work to figure out what to do with them. It just responds.

Most conventional skincare products are made with water as the primary ingredient — sometimes up to 70% of the formula. What that means in practice is that the active ingredients you're paying for are significantly diluted before they ever reach your skin.
Oliveda does something different.

Every Oliveda formula replaces that water base with a concentrated fresh olive leaf cell elixir — powered by hydroxytyrosol, one of the most potent naturally occurring antioxidants known to science. No dilution. No fillers. Just active ingredients in their highest possible concentration, delivered in a form your skin can actually use.

As someone with a background in nursing, I think about what goes on the body the same way I think about what goes in it. Ingredients matter. Concentration matters. Bioavailability matters.

This is exactly why I built The Olive Tree Experience around Oliveda — a standalone 75 or 90-minute treatment where every product is applied mindfully from head to toe while you rest on the BioMat.

It is unlike anything else I offer. And honestly — unlike anything else available in our area.

🌿 Someone asked me this week about the benefits of massage therapy — and I loved the question so much I wanted to give it a proper answer. Most people think of massage as a treat, a splurge. Something you do on vacation or for a special occasion. But as both a Nurse and Licensed Massage Therapist, I want to gently reframe that. Massage therapy is one of the most well-researched, evidence-supported tools we have for maintaining whole-body health. And most of us are significantly underusing it. Here’s what regular massage therapy actually does for your body:
🧠 Regulates the nervous system — massage activates the parasympathetic nervous system — your rest and digest response — helping your body genuinely down-regulate after chronic stress. This is the foundation of almost every other benefit.
😴 Improves sleep quality — by calming the nervous system and reducing physical tension, research consistently shows massage helps people fall asleep faster and sleep more deeply
🩸 Improves circulation — massage stimulates blood and lymphatic flow, supporting oxygen delivery, tissue repair, and the removal of metabolic waste
💪 Supports immune function — by enhancing lymphatic circulation, massage helps distribute immune cells more efficiently throughout the body
🔥 Reduces inflammation and muscle tension — particularly valuable for those dealing with chronic pain, fibromyalgia, or stress-related physical symptoms
😊 Boosts serotonin and dopamine — research shows measurable increases in these neurotransmitters following massage, supporting mood, motivation, and emotional regulation
The effects are also cumulative — meaning the more consistently you receive massage, the greater the benefit over time.This isn’t a luxury. It’s maintenance.
💜I share this as both a clinician and someone actively investing in her own health alongside you. We’re all in this together. If massage is one of the tools you want in your corner, I’d love to be part of your support system.

🌿 Something I want to share about the BioMat — and why it changed how I work. When I invested in the professional grade BioMat, I knew the research was compelling. Far infrared heat. Negative ions. Amethyst and tourmaline crystals embedded throughout the mat. An FDA-registered medical device with real science behind it. But what I didn’t fully anticipate was what I would feel under my own hands. As a Licensed Massage Therapist I work with muscle tissue. and I can tell you from clinical experience — there is a noticeable, tangible difference in how muscles respond when they have been warmed by far infrared heat before and during a session vs. traditional heated pad.
Conventional heat warms the surface. Far infrared heat penetrates differently — reaching deep into the tissue, the fascia, the spaces where tension actually lives. By the time my hands make contact, the muscle isn’t bracing. It isn’t guarded. It has already begun to let go.What that means for you is less time fighting resistance and more time in genuine release. Sessions feel deeper. Results last longer. And your nervous system — which is often the real thing holding the tension in place — has already begun to down-regulate before the massage even begins.
This is why the BioMat is simply part of how I work. Part of how I believe bodywork should be done when the goal is real, lasting change rather than temporary relief. 💜
— this is worth experiencing. It is great as a stand alone treatment

🌿 Something I've been thinking about lately — cortisol

I've been doing my own deep dive into cortisol recently, partly as a healthcare provider and partly as someone who lives in the same busy, overstimulated world as everyone else. As well as someone that has a few extra pounds (yup- cortisol affects that too)
Cortisol is your body's primary stress hormone. In the right amounts it's essential — it helps you wake up in the morning, respond to challenges, and keep moving. But chronically elevated cortisol? That's where things get complicated.
Sustained high cortisol has been linked to disrupted sleep, increased inflammation, immune suppression, mood instability, fatigue, and changes in how the body stores and processes energy. Most of us are walking around with levels that are higher than they should be — and we've just normalized feeling that way.

Here's what I'm personally doing about it — and what I'd encourage you to consider too:
💆‍♀️ Massage therapy — research shows regular massage meaningfully lowers cortisol while raising serotonin and dopamine. This isn't just relaxation. It's a physiological shift.
🚶‍♀️ Walking — simple, accessible, and genuinely powerful. Even a 20-30 minute walk outside has been shown to reduce cortisol and regulate the nervous system. I come back from walks clearer every single time.
🌿 Ashwagandha — an adaptogenic herb I take personally. Adaptogens help the body respond to stress more efficiently. Ashwagandha specifically has solid research behind its ability to reduce cortisol levels over time. As always, check with your provider before adding any supplement.
The through line in all of this? Your nervous system needs consistent, intentional support — not just an occasional treat. These aren't luxuries. They're maintenance.
I share this as both a Nurse Practitioner and someone who is actively working on her own health alongside you. We're all in this together. 💜
If massage is one of the tools you want in your corner, I'd love to be part of your support system.
