Heat, Reset, and the Last Days of Summer

As summer winds down, I’ve been reflecting on what these past few months have held — from finally finishing Stephen King's 11/22/63 and tackling puzzle after puzzle, to quiet dog walks, family time in Prescott, and keeping cool with Izzy through splash pads, library trips, and our little backyard pool.

It’s also hard to believe I’ve already been in my new studio for three months. The space has become such a comfortable, welcoming environment, and I’m excited to continue adding touches that make it even better.

A quick business update: I’ve been working through a lengthy Google verification issue that began in June, which has temporarily removed my business and hidden my reviews. While that’s being resolved, I’ve focused on strengthening my presence elsewhere. I’m now an accredited Better Business Bureau business, have dabbled in Yelp ads, and recently joined ClassPass as a partner again.

I want to extend a heartfelt thank‑you to everyone who has supported my massage therapy practice through all its transitions. Your referrals, encouragement, and loyalty mean more than I can express!

If you haven’t been in for a while, please know there’s no pressure. Life shifts, schedules change, finances dip, and I fully understand.

For those wanting more regular care (and a little savings), I offer shareable 5‑ and 10‑session packs for family and friends.

Wishing you a gentle end to summer — even though we all know it doesn’t really happen until Halloween.

See you soon,
Claire

POV: you round the corner and the warm glow pulls you in — the way fire does when you’ve been out in the cold.

Someone stopped me when I was getting out of my truck today to say they love the name Hearth & Hammer (my logo is on the back window.) Because it sounds exactly like what it is: grounded, solid, and built for real work.

No foo-foo spa menus. No woo-woo energy work.

Now, full disclosure: I personally love a little magic on my own time. I hoard crystals, feathers, and trinkets, talk to houseplants (and the house spiders), and watch the moon phases while leaning into the seasons. 🔮✨

But inside this clinic room, I leave that at the door and focus entirely on anatomy, targeted soft-tissue therapy, and functional outcomes. Just honest, outcome-driven bodywork. (But if you want to talk about ANY of the above topics, or tell my about your alien encounters and cosmic musings, please know that I am absolutely here for it!)

A breakdown of the modalities I use most often in my practice.

Every session blends techniques based on your goals — whether that’s reducing tension, improving mobility, supporting lymph flow, or helping your body feel more capable in daily life.

All of these are included when you book a session. No upsells, no hidden add‑on pricing.

Your body tells the story. I just follow it.

June is here!

Just popping in with a 20% off offer for your next session, a few studio progress photos, and some no‑cost ways you can support the space.

Studio Progress

If you haven’t been in yet, here’s a little update. The space isn’t in its final form, but I wanted to share some of the progress so far. More plants, artwork, and window coverings are on the way. My hope is that it feels like an exhale — a cozy, comfortable place you actually want to spend time in.

Ways you can support that don't cost $

I’ve created a brand‑new Yelp page.
If you’re someone who enjoys leaving reviews, this one’s for you.

Visit Yelp here.

I appreciate you more than you know.

Thank you for supporting the studio, sharing it with others, and trusting me with your care.

The story so far.

It's not in its final form yet, but after 1 month in, the space is cozy and giving all of the vibes I am here for!

I'll be bringing in more plants, thinking about a neon sign for on top of the cabinets with the business name, some curated art for the blank wall and some sort of window covering.

It's been fun being able to build this space and choosing everything, right down to the paint color. It definitely feels like mine 🖤

I’ve been asked a handful of times about the new name...

I wanted a practice that felt like mine — something that matched the way I work and the space I’m building.
Hearth & Hammer came from that place.
Warmth and work.
Care and craft.
Not fufu. Not woo‑woo.
Just skilled bodywork and real results.

Restorative bodywork for recovery + resilience in Scottsdale ✨
