For anyone that takes the Penn Exit please take note.

Via the Iowa Department of Transportation:

Weather permitting, the ramp from I-380 northbound to Penn St. will be closed for up to 3 months, beginning the morning of Wednesday, June 3. During this closure, construction crews will be working to pave and connect the new ramp.

While the ramp is closed, traffic will be detoured to Exit 2, Forevergreen Rd, and routed north on Hwy 965 to Penn St. See the map provided below for additional detour details.

Some resources to help navigate this project are included in the comments ⤵️

Jaw clenching isn’t always “just stress.”

Many people experience:

* headaches
* facial tension
* tooth sensitivity
* tightness around the temples
* neck pain
* grinding/clenching
* pressure around the ears

Buccal massage works both externally and intraorally to help address tension patterns that are often overlooked.

Sometimes healing starts with learning how to notice what your body has been trying to say all along.

✨ Evening & weekend availability available.

Client X came in feeling completely over it from the side effects of their weight loss medication:

🥴 Nausea
😵‍💫 Constipation
😫 Upset stomach

After a thorough consultation, I felt that a combination of Lymphatic Drainage and Lypossage®️ would be the most appropriate approach to help support their symptoms and overall comfort.

After the session, they followed up reporting:

✨ Approximately 80% reduction in nausea and stomach discomfort
✨ Constipation fully resolved
✨ Feeling significantly more comfortable overall

The body is incredibly interconnected, and sometimes supporting circulation, lymphatic flow, and the nervous system can make a noticeable difference in how people feel.

If you’re struggling with side effects from GLP-1 or other weight loss medications, let’s talk to see whether Lymphatic Drainage or Lypossage®️ may be a supportive addition to your wellness routine.

Shoutout to Stacia Stripling McGriff for the makeover this memorial weekend.
The picture doesn’t quite capture the ambience of the room.

We went from Bora Bora Shore to Malted Milk and Casa Blanca from Sherwin Williams.

Thank you Stacia for the awesome paint job!

Having just finished this training, I can officially say, in the most blunt way possible, you may have never realized, how much tension, you have in your face.

Seriously this is phenomenal work.

Which I’m now offering!

Graduation day isn’t complete without starting off your day with Cardio and Abs.

It’s Official. 🎓
Associate of Applied Science — Paralegal Studies.

From lymphatic drainage to legal terminology — apparently I enjoy studying complex systems.

Thank you to every client, instructor, friend, and supporter who encouraged me along the way.

Healing work and education will always go hand in hand for me.

Did anyone else feel yesterday’s storm, in their knees?

If your body feels swollen, heavy, or just… off today 👀

Check the pressure before you blame yourself.

Low barometric pressure = fluid shifts, tissue sensitivity, and your nervous system acting a little dramatic.

Especially if you're post-op or already inflamed.

It’s not you.
It’s the atmosphere 🌩

Forecast: take it easy + support your lymphatic system.
