Screaming Octopus

06/13/2026

This was my view from the mat last weekend.

Screaming Octopus: Unleashed has begun... and arriving like the storm it rode in on. 🌩️

I'm slowly beginning to understand just how powerful sound is as medicine—and the effect my own voice carries.

I remember sitting in a local song circle while everyone sang. Nothing came. Was it fear? Had I lost my voice? Or had I simply never given myself permission to use it in a way that others could truly hear?

When I teach, I know I'm heard.

But how do I move beyond the ears and touch the soul?

I'm finding it... slowly.

It's raw. Tribal. Unseasoned. Less angelic choir and more wild animal remembering. It's untamed, imperfect, and deeply authentic to who I am and the medicine I bring.

This summer, I'm diving deep. Reorganizing. Reinventing. Returning to myself.

Because when I create, it isn't really about the audience.

It's about my own becoming, my journey.

You're all just along for the ride.

Turns out the medicine wasn't about finding my voice.

It was about finally letting it out

Wild unapologetic with devotion to my authentic self

To busyt I get in during the week and need a massage? Tyana is in all weekend. Check her schedule out.

Most people assume deep massage has to hurt to work.

But the deepest relief doesn’t have to be painful.

Your body already knows what it needs — it just hasn’t had the right kind of pressure yet.

Most traditional deep work feels sharp or painful because hands and elbows can only press so hard before they start poking. Barefoot massage works differently.

Using the broad, natural surface of the foot and the power of gravity, it sinks into layers of tension with even, sustained pressure that most people find surprisingly comfortable — even when it’s deep.

The result? 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐟𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐫𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐮𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐲 𝐥𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐬. Your body feels more open, more fluid, and more like yours again.

If regular massage hasn’t gotten deep enough, or if you’ve been craving relief that feels both powerful and kind… this is it.

Sound Unleahed began in the heat, with a storm quietly gathering on the horizon.

As I set up for our sound meditation, the wind had plans of its own. My big drum nearly took flight, gongs began to sway, and as I played, I found myself running from one instrument to the next, trying to steady what felt like chaos.Each time the wind caught a gong, I would sound it until it became still. Then another would begin to move. Back and forth I went, frustrated and trying to keep everything under control.

Later, someone said something that changed my entire perspective: "Mother Nature was playing the sound with you.".... they were right.

What I thought was disruption was actually collaboration. The wind, the storm, the instruments, and the people gathered there were all part of the experience. Nothing was going wrong. Something beautiful was unfolding.

A client came in this week and said "Boy you sure did it last Thursday" we laughed and I said what and reminded her she wasn't there. She said "No but the storm that followed was incredible."

We knew a storm was coming, but we had no idea how spectacular it would be.

Life feels like that sometimes. We try to manage every movement, every uncertainty, every gust of change. Yet often the magic reveals itself when we stop resisting and allow ourselves to be guided.

Looking back, I wasn't chasing chaos.
I was dancing with the wind and mother nature was orchestrating the sound.

✨ Sometimes the most beautiful moments happen when we stop directing the music and become part of the song, the dance the flow. ✨

Screaming Octopus has decided to listen to the waythe wind is blowing and is going to answer. Stay tuned.... change is coming.

On my path.

This morning, as I stepped out my front door, I witnessed something I've never seen on my property before—a slug.

What caught my attention wasn't just the slug itself, but the beautiful spiral it had left behind at my doorstep. It felt intentional, almost like a message waiting to be noticed.

I've always been someone who pays attention to the small things. The symbols, the synchronicities, the moments nature places directly in front of us—especially during times of transition. And right now, between the shifting season, the energy of summer, the moon cycles, and the larger astrological currents, it feels like we're all moving through a threshold of change.

In symbolism, the slug represents patience, sensitivity, trust in timing, and moving forward without force. It doesn't rush. It carries its home with it and progresses steadily, leaving evidence of its journey behind.

The spiral is one of humanity's oldest sacred symbols. It represents evolution, growth, cycles, awakening, and the unfolding journey of life. Rather than moving in a straight line, the spiral reminds us that growth often circles back on itself, each pass bringing us to a deeper level of understanding.

And then there's the trail itself—the shimmering slime. Symbolically, it speaks to leaving your unique imprint on the world. The path may not always be obvious, but your journey leaves a mark.

So there it was: a slug at my doorstep, leaving a spiral. A reminder that transformation doesn't always arrive with fireworks. Sometimes it arrives slowly, quietly, and glistening in the morning light, inviting us to trust the pace, honor the path, and remember that every step leaves its own sacred trace.

✨ What signs or symbols has nature placed in front of you lately?

I love what I do... especially when someone is ready to go deep. Not just "relax and unwind" deep. I'm talking soul-level, truth-telling, armor-melting deep. 💫

Armor Release Session

A soulful unwinding of the body, releasing stories you've been carrying for far too long.

This isn't just bodywork. It's an invitation to loosen the grip of old patterns, soften protective layers, and reconnect with the wisdom already living inside you.
Through a sacred blend of:

🎶 Sound Healing
🎵 Vocal Toning
✨ Tuning Forks
💫 Jin Shin Do® Acupressure

We create space for emotional release, energetic balance, nervous system restoration, and a return to your natural rhythm.

Sometimes the body whispers. Sometimes it sighs. Sometimes it finally says, "I'm ready to let that go."

If you've been feeling stuck, armored up, overwhelmed, or simply disconnected from yourself, this work was created for you.

Come explore, adjust and remember who you are.
