When my client tells me they stopped doing something they loved because of pain, I do everything I can to give that back to them.
This client has a bit longer road to getting pain free, but one of the things she told me was that she stopped crocheting because of the pain in her hands. Her first treatment we focused heavily on her hands, arms, neck, and shoulders. I told her “go home and try to crochet, see if your body feels different at all”
Today she came for her follow up, and proudly placed this on my desk. “You told me to try, and I did! It wasn’t perfect, I don’t think i could do it for very long, but once I got started I was able to finish this wash cloth for you”
I dug a bit deeper into her symptoms and asked her how it felt when she was crocheting, where the pain was? We treated something different today but it made a difference in how her hand felt in real time on the table!
One piece at a time, we’re getting there. 💜 this is why I do what I do. 🫶🏻

If you’ve been treated with RAPID and felt like we only solved part of the issue, don’t count me out yet.
I’ve saved this graphic so long ago, knowing I needed to write something here, but didn’t quite have the words.
In a world where we are so much on auto pilot, you won’t find that at Restorative Motion.
You get a real, imperfect, always learning, dedicated professional. Someone who cares if your pain improves, or your movement is less restricted. Someone who will assess more than just a bum shoulder, or a back ache and bring all her knowledge to the table as a whole big picture.
I look back on how I addressed some of the previous treatments I’ve done. Each time doing my absolute best to assess, treat, and improve the lives of people that have trusted me enough to take a chance and let me help them.
I’m not necessarily embarrassed. But now that I’m learning RAPID’s TAC— Trauma, the ANS, and Concussion class— there are a lot of things I’d do first, or mix in during treatments to optimize the outcome as much as we can.
The reality is, neither one of us are perfect. People come to me messy and real. Not everyone’s nervous system is in the perfect place to get the most out of my work. Now I’m learning how to meet you there, and treat you a little differently to help you even more. ♥️
Trauma, the ANS and Concussion isn’t just the mechanics of a painful or restricted joint. It’s the whole human being in front of me, carrying the burdens of things that happened to them before they entered my treatment room—When the world left its mark, and how their bodies are holding it.
I’ve always said we have to be a team to get you better, RAPID isn’t just something I do to you. You’re an active participant both on and off the table. This knowledge is that missing puzzle piece for some of you that maybe didn’t get the results we were hoping for. And the best part? It isn’t talk therapy. We literally don’t even have to go there.
The more I learn, the more things improve for both of us, because I had the courage to learn in the first place 🫶🏻

“Holy s**t, girl. You actually did it!” 😂

That might be one of my favorite things a client has ever said to me.

My last client of the day today was a gentleman whose wife had booked his appointment. She’d warned him that this appointment was going to be different, but neither of them had experienced RAPID before, so he wasn’t entirely sure what he was walking into.

He’d tried all kinds of massage modalities over the years, without finding much relief from the constant tension in his neck and shoulders.

When I asked him to find a movement that was difficult or uncomfortable so we could compare it afterward, he laughed.

“I’m not really a before-and-after kind of guy. You could ask me whether 2% or whole milk tastes better, and I’d tell you I don’t know. Whichever one’s in front of me!”

Fair enough. 😂

As we got started, I quickly realized two things: he had a fantastic sense of humor, and humor was how he handled discomfort.

And RAPID? Well, it can get a little spicy. 🌶️

We joked our way through the appointment while I worked through different structures in his neck and shoulder.

At one point, he started asking questions.

“So you’re not going to use any oil?”

“Nope!”

“And I don’t have to get naked?”

“Nope!”

“So what exactly ARE you doing?”

Now THAT is my favorite question.

I explained what I was treating, why I was working in certain areas, and what I was looking for as we went.

Every so often, I’d remind him that he was doing great, to hang in there, and that we were almost finished.

When we started, turning his head to look over his right shoulder was difficult. Raising his arm overhead wasn’t particularly easy either.

Then came the moment of truth.

He stood up and started moving around.

And suddenly…

“HOLY S**T, GIRL! YOU ACTUALLY DID IT!” 😂

He could turn his head more easily. His arm moved better. His neck felt looser.

And perhaps his favorite part?

He hadn’t needed to get undressed or be covered in greasy massage oil to experience a difference!

He still had some lingering numbness in his index finger, so we’ve got another piece of the puzzle to work on.

He’s already scheduled to come back next week. 😊

I absolutely love appointments like this.

Not because someone walks in skeptical, but because I get to watch their expectations change when they experience something they weren’t expecting.

RAPID isn’t massage. It’s a different approach to assessing and treating painful, restricted movement, and sometimes that difference is exactly what someone has been looking for.

And sometimes, the best part of my entire workday is watching someone walk out grinning from ear to ear.

This is why I love what I do. 🧡

A Day in the Life of a RAPID Specialist ❤️

Today I saw five clients. Two follow-ups and three new faces.

Five different people, five different stories, and five very different reasons for walking through my door.

And days like today remind me exactly why I love what I do.

❤️ Client #1: Returning for some familiar tension and pressure behind her eyes that had started creeping back after several weeks. We worked through her neck, shoulders, eyes, and cranial nerve regions. She left pain-free.

❤️ Client #2: One of my favorite updates of the day!

This client is an equestrian with a history of serious falls resulting in fractures to her tailbone and spine. We’d previously worked on her eyes to address balance and coordination concerns.

Today she told me her horse had unexpectedly stumbled while she was riding. Normally, she struggles to recover her balance when something like that happens.

But this time? Her body just responded. She stayed balanced in the saddle without even thinking about it.

It wasn’t until afterward that she realized how differently she’d reacted!

She also reported that her shoulder, which we’d treated a month ago, is STILL moving beautifully. Today we focused on her hips and lower back, and she left feeling dramatically better.

❤️ Client #3: A new client struggling with lower back pain, pelvic issues, and a knee she’d been told would eventually need replacing.

But there was more to her story than pain.

She was afraid of certain movements. She felt ashamed of her weight. She had developed beliefs about what her body couldn’t or shouldn’t do. She also shared how much anxiety she felt about her symptoms and about not knowing what to expect during treatment.

Before she left, she told me:

“Just you telling me what to expect after treatment helps my anxiety.”

That meant so much to me because I know how it feels when someone doesn’t understand what you’re experiencing—or when your body feels unfamiliar and unpredictable.

We talked. We worked. We reassessed.

And when she stood on one leg again, something she’d been afraid to do, her stability was dramatically improved.

The look of surprise on her face was priceless.

But what stood out just as much was the shift in her confidence. She wasn’t only seeing a physical change; she was beginning to feel safer in her body.

❤️ Client #4: Another new client with a rotator cuff injury, persistent neck tension, and burning sensations extending into her arm.

She described her neck tension as something she’d simply learned to live with.

After working through her shoulder, neck, and nerve pathways, she was amazed by her increased movement.

Her description afterward?

“My head feels like it’s floating.”

I absolutely love when clients find their own words to describe what they’re experiencing. 😂

❤️ Client #5: This one stayed with me.

A cancer survivor. Double mastectomy. Reconstruction. Chemotherapy. Radiation. Shoulder and biceps surgery.

Years of procedures, pain, scars, and physical limitations.

Her appointment wasn’t filled with the dramatic changes some of my other clients experienced today. There were smaller improvements, and we have plenty of work ahead of us.

But I asked her something I often ask my clients:

“What’s something you want to be able to do again that you can’t do right now?”

She told me she wants to play ball in the backyard with her kids again.

They used to spend time together playing baseball and softball. Now, the pain and limitations in her shoulder keep her from throwing a ball.

And that answer stuck with me.

Because sometimes the goal isn’t touching your toes, reaching a certain range of motion, or getting your pain down to a particular number.

Sometimes the goal is throwing a baseball to your kids.

Sometimes it’s staying balanced on your horse.

Sometimes it’s standing on one leg without fear.

Sometimes it’s feeling less anxious because you understand what’s happening and what to expect.

And sometimes it’s simply realizing that the tension you’ve lived with for years doesn’t have to define every moment of your day.

This is what a day as a RAPID Specialist looks like.

It’s problem-solving. It’s listening. It’s understanding the nervous system, movement, and pain. It’s adapting to the person in front of me instead of treating everyone the same way.

And not every appointment ends with a dramatic transformation. Some people need time, patience, and a chance to rebuild confidence in their bodies.

Sometimes the most meaningful part of treatment is helping someone feel heard, informed, and less alone in what they’re experiencing.

Because ultimately, I’m not just interested in what hurts.

I’m interested in what your pain is keeping you from doing—and how it’s affecting the way you feel in your body.

And helping you find your way back to those things is why I do this work.

10/4 was an interesting day. It wasn’t just the anniversary of me being open as a business.
Nick and I spent the day at the 🍎 c***r mill with the kids, and Allison hurt her bum going down a slide 😣 🛝 I stood behind her and the guys kinda helped me surround her and she j hooked her own sacrum area “where it hurt the most” and she was able to continue walking around and enjoying her day. I treated her first when we got back to the house.
When we got home Nick’s back hurt, so I treated that, too.
Then I started to get a nasty migraine. I thought maybe I’d spent too much time in the sun, but I treated everything I’d normally treat on my scalp and eyes/face and neck and it was still hanging around. Then it dawned on me— I hadn’t worked under my jaw since day 3 post op and still had some swelling.
Nick and I were outside standing by the grill and I started j hooking up under my jaw. I did the left side and once I went through thoroughly, I moved my head around and the whole left side felt great! So I treated the right side, and BOOM.
Migraine - gone. I stared in awe for a moment and he said “what are you thinking about?”

Me- “I think RAPID is the best thing that’s ever happened to me, professionally. Even in our personal lives, I feel like things would have hurt a lot more for a lot longer without knowing this information. It’s completely changed how I think when it comes to injury and pain”
Three different people, 3 completely different pain symptoms. And I wound up treating all of it on the anniversary of the business I’ve grown so much in 💚
I’m so blessed to have something so wonderful I can use to get us back on track after life hits. I think about it almost daily, how much I enjoy going into the office every day and learning everything RAPID has to offer. It’s like an appetite that’s never satisfied. More often than not, that far-away stare that hits at home at times is 100% me sitting and rethinking a treatment when I get a complex case. It’s even in my dreams 😂 yeah, I dreamt of RAPID. This must be what it’s like to have found your purpose and be living out your dreams 🥹🫶🏻 🌱
