Blue Heron Bodywork

10/11/2026

Well, y’all. Blue Heron Bodywork is turning ONE. 💙

If you had told me a year ago that I'd be here today, I honestly don't think I would've believed you. I was SO nervous to take that leap of faith. Starting my own business was exciting, terrifying, and about a million other emotions all at once. There was a lot I didn't know, and a lot I had to figure out as I went.

But here we are, a whole year later!

I don't think I can properly put into words how grateful I am for every single person who has walked through my door this past year. Thank you for trusting me with your care, for supporting my little business, for telling your friends about me, and for allowing me to be a small part of your lives. Every booking, every kind word, every recommendation means more to me than you probably realize. Seriously. Thank you. 🫶🏻

And because I can't let a birthday go by without a little celebration, I'm doing a giveaway!

🎉 ONE LUCKY CLIENT WILL WIN A FREE 60-MINUTE MASSAGE! 🎉

Here's how to enter:

Book a massage between October 11 and October 31, and you'll get one entry into the drawing.

Already have a massage booked during that time? You're already entered! No need to do anything else.

Booking multiple sessions? Each session booked counts as another entry!

I'll announce the winner on November 4, so keep an eye out!

I really can't wait to see what year two has in store for Blue Heron. A year ago, this was a dream I was nervous to chase, and now it's something real that I get to keep building. How cool is that?!

Thank you for being here. Whether you've been seeing me for months or you've just found my little corner of Wichita, I'm so glad you're here. 💙

Well… plot twist. 😂

I had blocked off my schedule for Thursday and Friday this week because I was supposed to be taking a training. That training got canceled, which means…

✨ MY SCHEDULE IS OPEN! ✨

And y’all, same-week openings are rare around here. So if you’ve been thinking, “I really need a massage,” this is your sign.

I’ll be in the office:

🌿 Thursday, Sept. 17: 1–7 PM
🌿 Friday, Sept. 18: 9 AM–4 PM

Grab one of these unexpected openings while they’re here!

Last night was one of those evenings that reminds you just how beautifully interconnected our lives can be. 💙

Blue Heron Bodywork had the absolute honor and privilege of attending “The Journey Ahead,” a benefit concert for our friend, client, colleague, and extraordinary artist, Heather Redondo, as she navigates her journey with ALS.

I first met Heather and her husband, Mike, back in 2015—oddly enough, at the very same event where they met each other. At the time, we were all connected to Wichita Grand Opera in one way or another. A shared love of opera brought us together then, and that same love brought so many of us back together last night.

Several months ago, I was asked if Blue Heron Bodywork would be willing to donate a massage to the silent auction benefiting Heather's ALS journey.

My answer was immediate:

YES. Whatever you need. I’m happy to help.

Last night, I had the privilege of seeing that massage become one of roughly 20 wonderful items donated by people and businesses who wanted to show up for Heather and her family. I am deeply honored that Blue Heron Bodywork could be among them. 💙

And then there was the concert itself.

The talent in that room was extraordinary. The singers were, of course, absolutely top-tier—but the instrumentalists were equally incredible. The music was breathtaking.

But more than anything, it was the emotion of the evening that will stay with me.

Hearing Mike and Heather speak about their love for one another, their little boy, and the life they have built together was incredibly moving. And hearing the song Heather wrote and composed for her son was an honor I will never forget. ✨

There are some evenings where you leave feeling like you've witnessed something truly special.

Last night was one of those evenings.
Heather, Mike, and your beautiful family—you are surrounded by so much love. Thank you for letting all of us be a small part of The Journey Ahead. 💙

And to everyone who poured their time, talent, resources, and hearts into making last night happen: thank you. What a remarkable community Wichita can be.

Okay, we're going there. 😂

Because I think this is something people, especially postpartum people, shouldn't have to feel embarrassed about.

Your body does not stop being a body just because you're getting a massage.

And pregnancy and postpartum come with A LOT of bodily fluids.

Bleeding. Leaking. Breast milk. Sweat. Discharge. Bladder leakage. The occasional surprise.

None of it grosses us out.

I've had clients worry about bleeding on the table. I've had people apologize for leaking breast milk. I've had people worry about bladder leakage.

And every single time, my answer is essentially:

Girl. I got you.

If you're more comfortable wearing underwear, wear it.

If you're more comfortable without it, take it off.

If you're on your period, you don't need to wear a tampon you hate just because you're worried about making your massage therapist uncomfortable.

If you're postpartum and you're bleeding?

Please bleed on my table.

We have towels. We have sheets. We have a fantastic laundry service.

What we don't want you carrying into your massage is shame.

Your body is not gross.

Your body is not embarrassing.

Your body is not a burden.

Your body is allowed to be a body here. 💙

New at Blue Heron Bodywork: KT Taping

When most people think of KT tape, they picture professional athletes with colorful tape on their shoulders or knees.

But did you know KT taping can also be an incredible tool for pregnancy and postpartum support?

KT (kinesiology) tape is a specialized elastic tape that's strategically applied to the skin to provide gentle support where your body needs it most. By slightly lifting the skin, it can help improve blood and lymphatic flow, reduce swelling, decrease strain on overworked muscles, and provide short-term pain relief—all while allowing you to move naturally.

During pregnancy and postpartum, KT taping can be used to support:
🤰 Belly weight and lower back strain
🫁 Diaphragm discomfort as baby grows
🦶 Swollen ankles and feet
🤱 Posture changes during the nursing months
💪 Support for the abdominal wall during pregnancy and healing support postpartum

One of the things that excites me most about offering this service is that it extends the benefits of bodywork beyond your massage appointment. Once your tape is applied, it continues working with your body for several days, providing ongoing support as you move through everyday life.

Whether you're an athlete recovering from training, an expecting parent adjusting to your changing body, or navigating the physical demands of postpartum recovery, KT taping is a simple, effective way to give your body a little extra support between sessions.

I've dreamed of bringing this service to Blue Heron Bodywork since the very beginning, and I'm so excited that Evan has the training and experience to finally make it a reality.

Sometimes the smallest amount of support can make the biggest difference.

New at Blue Heron Bodywork: Tui Na

If you've never heard of Tui Na, you're not alone! It's not a common service here in Kansas, but it's one I'm incredibly excited for Evan to bring to Blue Heron Bodywork.

Tui Na (pronounced twee-nah) is an ancient form of Chinese medical massage that has been practiced for thousands of years. Rather than focusing solely on relaxation, it's a therapeutic treatment designed to address pain, improve mobility, and restore balance throughout the body.

Traditional Chinese Medicine teaches that the body has pathways called meridians, through which vital energy—known as Qi (pronounced chee)—flows. Tui Na uses specific techniques to support the healthy flow of Qi while also addressing the muscles, joints, and connective tissues.

So...what does that actually feel like?

Think of it as a blend of several therapies working together. Evan combines deep tissue massage, acupressure, stretching, and gentle joint manipulation to create a treatment that's completely tailored to your body's needs.

Whether you're dealing with chronic muscle tension, recovering from an injury, feeling physically restricted, or simply looking for a different approach to therapeutic bodywork, Tui Na offers a unique way to support your body's natural healing process.

One of the things I admire most about Evan is their commitment to continually expanding their knowledge and bringing evidence-informed techniques from a variety of traditions into their practice. Tui Na is a wonderful example of that philosophy—honoring a treatment with thousands of years of history while using it thoughtfully to meet each client's individual goals.

Sometimes the oldest healing traditions still have something valuable to teach us.
