Therapeutic massages to create shifts and change in the body using specific and focused modalities

06/06/2026

Let's talk about it.

Earlier this week, someone in a local community group asked who the "best massage therapist in Jamestown" was.
Many therapists were mentioned, and instead of recommending myself, I suggested another local business because they have a newer therapist who currently has more availability.

Why would I recommend someone else rather than myself?

Because I'm booked out until roughly mid-July.

If someone needs a massage sooner than that, it doesn't help them if I try to keep every client for myself. I'm one person. I only have so many hours in a day.

The bigger reason is this: massage therapy is not one-size-fits-all.

Every massage therapist approaches the body differently. Some therapists specialize in deep relaxation where your body melts into the table. Others focus on sports and medical massage. Some specialize in detailed corrective work, stretching, or addressing specific problem areas. Even when two therapists offer the same service on paper, the experience can feel completely different.

Not everyone is going to enjoy my style of massage, and that's okay.

As massage therapists, we're not really competing against one another. We all bring different skills, personalities, techniques, and goals into the treatment room. What works perfectly for one person may not be what another person is looking for.

I refer people to other therapists regularly because sometimes what a client wants isn't what I provide. I'd rather help someone find the right fit than keep them on my table simply because I want the appointment.

My goal has never been to be the massage therapist for everyone.

My goal is to be the right massage therapist for the people I can genuinely help.

I would love to see our profession do a better job of explaining exactly what each therapist offers so clients can make informed decisions before spending money trying multiple providers. The better people understand the different styles and approaches within massage therapy, the easier it becomes to find the therapist who fits their needs.

Success in this profession isn't about keeping every client. It's about helping the right people get the right care.

The best massage therapist isn't the best therapist. It's the therapist who's best for you. 💕💆‍♀️

You guys.

I know I am busy. I know it sucks when you can't get in to see me the week your body does something funky.

But I promise, me overworking myself does you ZERO good. I have boundaries and policies not only for my clients but ESPECIALLY for myself. If I am overworking myself and cause injury than I am no use to anyone, at all. Then my mental health suffers.

All I want to do is help you.

That is the core of my business.

That being said, please remember to book in advance. Everyone loves my weekend hours but they get taken quickly.

For weekend availability, I am booked until May 23rd. You guys have access to my schedule 90 days in advance at all times.

Help me help you, y'all. 😅

Thank you all so much for your patience and understanding this weekend. I did try to make it into work today, but got completely stuck on my street almost immediately 😅

I decided to call it quits...my husband is stuck in Fargo, and the last thing I want is my 17-year-old trying to come rescue me and getting stuck too. Honestly, it’s just safer for everyone to stay home today.

On the bright side, all three of my teenagers attempted to dig me out… until they officially forfeited the mission and have spent the last hour and a half building snowmen 🤦‍♀️ At least our husky is living her absolute best life out there! 🐶🐕

Stay safe and warm, everyone 🤍

One of the most common things I hear after a massage is: “That went by so fast.”

And it makes sense.

The first 45-60 minutes of bodywork often allow the nervous system to finally settle.

Once the body feels safe, tissue begins to respond differently. Guarding decreases. Depth becomes possible. Areas that were holding start to soften.

In a 60 minute session, we focus on the primary area that’s asking for attention. Usually that is enough time for 1-2 areas of the body.

In a 2–3 hour session, we have the time to:
• Allow the system to fully downshift
• Work layer by layer instead of rushing
• Address multiple areas thoroughly
• Stay with the work long enough for it to integrate

This isn’t about doing more. It’s about allowing your body the time it actually needs.

For many clients, a supportive rhythm looks like:
A longer session every 6–8 weeks to build change.
A focused 60 minute session in between to maintain it.

Because extended sessions require larger blocks of time, they are best scheduled 4–6 weeks in advance.

If you’ve ever felt like your massage ended just as your body was beginning to unwind, that’s exactly why these longer sessions exist.

I experienced something new this week after coming back from Texas.

With a few returning clients, I decided to integrate SMRT work, something I’ve been hesitant to do. SMRT is different from how I typically massage. My work often uses firmer, deeper pressure, partly because that’s what most people expect massage to feel like.

This work asks for something else.

Lighter pressure.
Longer holds.
Less “doing,” more allowing.

And honestly? I was nervous. I worried people wouldn’t think it was massage. I worried it wouldn’t land. I worried I’d be misunderstood.

Which is interesting… because my entire practice is built around creating change in the body... not replicating a spa experience. Even my business name gives that away. But still, I got in my head.

So I finally got out of my own way and gave it a whirl. Even if it helped just a little, it felt worth exploring.

Here’s what I heard over just three days:

“I feel so open.”

“I have no discomfort in my neck or shoulders. I feel like I’m 16 again.” (stands boldly) 🦸‍♂️

“I don’t think my shoulders have ever been so far down.”

“WHY ARE MY ARMS SO LONG?” (staring at their hands in disbelief) 😲

“I can actually rotate my shoulder.” (as they keep moving it around) 💃

“Whatever you learned in Texas… KEEP DOING IT.”

This work isn’t about forcing change.
It’s about creating the conditions for the body to reorganize itself.

And I’m paying attention. 📝

✨ Continuing Education Weekend ✨

This weekend in Austin, Texas has been dedicated entirely to learning, refining, and expanding the way I work with the body.

I received an incredible session that included Fire Cupping from a respected leader and connector within the massage community, Rebecca Brumfield. Beyond the technique itself, the experience was grounding, supportive, and affirming, a reminder of the value of learning from practitioners who truly embody their work.

I also spent the day training with Robert Gardner, exploring how Thai massage principles can be integrated into next-level pain relief work. Seeing how passive stretching and Thai-influenced techniques can be applied precisely, without forcing pressure into painful areas, reinforced why this approach is so effective and sustainable for the body for both the practitioner and the client.

The weekend continued with advanced SMRT training alongside one of my long-time favorite instructors, Dawn Lewis, deepening my work with spontaneous muscle release. This is truly my favorite work. I LOVE these classes.

Weekends like this remind me why I do this work. Stepping outside the ordinary, learning in new environments, and surrounding myself with people who are deeply engaged in their craft keeps the work alive for me.

And that energy always finds its way back into the treatment room.
