Another installment of the things I love about massage 💛

On her recent day off from school for Election Day, I interviewed my five-year-old while I was giving her a massage. I asked what she loves about massage, and she said:

“It makes me feel calmer. When I’m having big, sad, angry, or scared feelings... it helps me feel calmer and more relaxed.”

I absolutely loved that answer. It almost brought me to tears.

Then she asked if, when her massage was finished, she could give me a massage—with hot stones and cups. And would I be okay with that? 🤩

I told her I’d be very foolish not to be okay with that, and made sure we found time for her to do it. She even documented the experience herself—which is where this picture came from. 🥹

That answer is going to stay with me.

A little throwback to the setup right before my last Comfort for Birth workshop in June 🥹 I love getting the room ready and imagining all the ways to use pillows, blankets, and mats might help someone feel a little more comfortable and supported during labor.

I’m excited to offer it again! Comfort for Birth: Hands-On Tools for Labor Support is a practical workshop for pregnant people and their birth partners to practice together and get personalized guidance.

Reason #4,011 to hire a postpartum doula… 😂❤️

Can we just talk about how AMAZING postpartum doulas are?! Because Jenni is an actual freaking fairy godmother. 🪄✨

Sully absolutely adores her, and I swear, every time I turn around, something magical has happened.

✨ P**F! The laundry is folded.

✨ P**F! The baby's nails are filed.

✨ P**F! My baby is peacefully asleep.

✨ P**F! Some random household task I haven't even had time to THINK about is magically done.

And TODAY?! This woman taught me how to operate my OWN WINDOWS. 😂

Y'all. Apparently my windows TILT IN. As in, I can fold them down and CLEAN THE OUTSIDE FROM INSIDE MY HOUSE?!

🤯🤯🤯

I've lived here for months, and this woman just casually revolutionized my entire window-cleaning situation.

But seriously, beyond the magic tricks and domestic wizardry, having someone show up during postpartum life who genuinely cares for both you AND your baby is such an incredible gift. Someone who sees what needs doing, takes things off your plate, and gives you a little breathing room without you having to ask for every single thing.

Postpartum doulas aren't a luxury. They're the kind of support every new family deserves. ❤️

I LOVE HER. Sully LOVES HER. HIRE HER.

And if you're expecting a baby (or know someone who is!), please go check out Tandem Community Birth Center and their amazing postpartum doulas. Seriously. Put postpartum doula support on your baby registry. You can thank me later. 😂💕

I watched a webinar today with Michelle Emanuel, creator of the TummyTime!™ Method, on understanding tension in the pre-crawling infant. It got me reflecting on the beginning of my own TummyTime journey.

Before taking Michelle’s TummyTime!™ Professional Training in January 2017, I spent a year or two learning alongside my mentor, Melissa Larimer, observing her classes and hands-on work with babies. It’s hard to believe that was nearly a decade ago!

One of the things I’ve always loved about Michelle’s work is how accessible she makes it. She breaks down the concepts in a way that deepens my understanding as a healthcare provider and baby bodyworker, then gives parents concrete things they can try at home. She explains it in language that makes sense.

Michelle’s mantra is, “We don’t worry, we work.” I’ve adopted it because it reminds me to meet questions and concerns with curiosity and practical action: What can we learn? What can we try? How can we support this baby and family? I find myself carrying that philosophy into so many parts of my life!

That’s what the TummyTime!™ Method is all about: helping parents support their babies’ movement and development through playful, practical activities they can do at home - without needing special equipment or professional credentials.

I’m so grateful for the people and experiences that shaped how I work with babies and support their families. And I’m always glad for a chance to learn something new.

I had said I’d share more about Kaelene, so here we go! 💛

Kaelene has several years of experience helping clients feel more comfortable, mobile, and at ease in their bodies. She used to work with my buddy Molly over at the Cocoon, previously. Her massage style is therapeutic and nurturing, with thoughtful attention to what each person needs. She especially enjoys deep tissue, prenatal, and postpartum massage.

Whether you’re managing everyday muscle tension, navigating the physical changes of pregnancy, recovering after birth, or just need some time to slow down and reconnect with your body, Kaelene’s goal is to help you feel supported and cared for.

Another thing I love about massage is the way it can be a kind of bookend. A reset button.

You can use it to celebrate something—a birthday, finishing a big project, getting through a really full season. Or you can let it mark a transition: the end of one chapter, the beginning of another, or simply a moment when you can shake

There’s something about the physical and nervous system reboot it gives... a chance to pause, let your body soften, and physically shake off some of what you’ve been carrying. You can leave feeling a little lighter, a little more present, and ready for whatever comes next. 💛

Over the next few days and weeks, I’d love to share some of the things I love about massage—from both sides of the table: as someone who receives it and as a massage therapist. I’ll start with what it gives me as a client. 💛

One reason I love receiving massage is how quickly it helps me slow down.

I have ADHD. My brain is usually doing six things at once, but on the table I can focus on what I’m feeling—my breath, the warmth, the places that need attention. My whole body seems to get the message: you can rest now.

I love that massage gives me space to listen to my body. It gives me an opportunity to practice mindfulness and intentional attention. 💛
