Happy Massage Therapy Awareness week!

It’s National Massage Therapy Awareness Week! 🙌

October 25–31 is an opportunity to celebrate massage therapy, educate the public about its benefits, and recognize the professionals who make this work possible.

At NCBTMB, we’re especially proud to recognize the massage therapists who continue investing in their education, advancing their knowledge, and holding themselves to high professional standards.

To every massage therapist committed to moving this profession forward: thank you for the work you do.

We’re proud to support you along the way.

Good Monday morning! This week is looking pretty quiet. Perfect time to get in and get a massage before the weekend festivities. And remember, I am now available on Tuesdays from 3-6!

I just restocked the mini fridge, so that's what we'll talk about for today's product information. Of course I still have cold and room temperature water. There are a few cran-mango juices. If you like mango, please take one as I'm not a mango girl. There is one Liquid Death lemon lime. I will not restock these due to the stevia aftertaste not agreeing with me. There are a few cran-apple and cran-grape juices because I like them.
New in the fridge are the Olipop Crisp apple. These remind me of cream soda with apple. That kind of throws me off so I won't be restocking these either.On the top shelf is Starbucks espresso with cream light. I think I will keep these. They're ok.
Do you have a bottle coffee suggestion that has low sugars? Premier protein shakes in chocolate peanut butter and salted caramel will remain. Then there are cheese sticks and yogurt covered berry snacks. The bin on the middle shelf is for me so I have things to eat better sessions.
Do you have any requests or suggestions for drinks or snacks in my office? I found a couple of Poppi and Celsius flavors I might try next month.
I enjoy offering these things to my clients and being able to have them on hand for diabetic emergencies, but I still like to keep my service prices affordable. In light of this, I do accept donations to Cash App and I also have an Amazon wishlist. I'll leave those in the comments for anyone moved to help.

Good Sunday morning! Are you a snuggle in the blankets for a bit longer person, or are you an up and at 'em person? Do you like the bean juice (coffee), or do you prefer a different morning beverage?

Have you ever noticed how the scent of a forest, freshly turned soil, or rain on the earth can help you feel more relaxed? Our sense of smell is closely connected to the parts of the brain involved in memory and emotion. Familiar aromas can remind us of peaceful places, comforting experiences, or moments when we felt safe and grounded. This makes aromatherapy a wonderful sensory tool for reconnecting with the present moment.

Continuing this week's theme of grounding and our connection to the Earth, let's explore Cypress, Juniper Berry, and Bergamot. Cypress has a fresh, green, woody aroma reminiscent of evergreen forests, while Juniper Berry offers a crisp, slightly earthy scent. Bergamot adds a gentle citrus brightness that helps balance the deeper notes. Together, they create a refreshing, forest-inspired blend that can complement relaxation, meditation, or simply a quiet moment at home.

Try this grounding diffuser blend: 3 drops Cypress, 1 drop Juniper Berry, and 1 drop Bergamot. Add to your diffuser according to the manufacturer's instructions and enjoy the aroma as you take a few moments for yourself. Remember, scent is personal, and the aromas that help you feel grounded may be different from someone else's. Aromatherapy is also available as an enhancement when you schedule your massage.

Good Saturday morning! We draw ever closer to Halloween! One more week! Are you ready? Are you a trick or treater, candy passer outer, or do you turn off your lights and hide inside? Horror movies or nah?

Good Friday morning! I wish I could cuddle with this little one a bit, but alas, this is just a picture I found on Pintrest. My kitties don't cuddle. Once in a while they come lay on me, but it isn't ever for very long. At any rate, I hope you have a beautiful day!

Did you know that your chakra system extends beyond your physical body? Most people are familiar with the seven main chakras, but in expanded chakra traditions, the Earth Star Chakra is located approximately 6 to 12 inches below your feet. It is considered our energetic connection to the Earth, helping us feel grounded, stable, and connected to the world around us.

While the Root Chakra is associated with physical security and survival, the Earth Star Chakra represents our deeper connection to the planet, nature, and the energy that supports us. It is associated with belonging, ancestral connections, and feeling rooted in our surroundings. When working with this chakra, the intention is to strengthen that connection and create a foundation of stability from which the rest of our energy system can function.

You don't have to stand barefoot in the grass to explore your connection to the Earth. Spending time in nature, working with grounding crystals, practicing meditation, or simply becoming aware of the support beneath your body can all be part of a grounding practice. As someone who feels a strong connection to the earth element, I find the Earth Star Chakra particularly meaningful. If you would like todiscuss this more, book a Sacred Intuitive Elemental Reset Ritual today.

Does life have you feeling some type of way? Is your jaw clenched, your shoulders up to your ears, your back stiff as a board, or no wiggle in your hips? I have a heated table and a quiet space. Schedule a massage or sensory face, scalp, or stillness session and see what a bit of relaxation can do for you.

Good Thursday morning! Today is my Sister's and Father in Law's (both RIP) birthdays. I am fully booked, and I'm sure they would appreciate that. If you are into the Halloween vibes, I hope you have a spooky day!
