Hours of operation:
Our hours vary as we try to be flexible for clients & maintain a healthy balance in our personal life. The hours listed on our page are a general idea of when appointments are available but they are always subject to change based on the amount of appointments that are booked, when clients can get to the studio & personal life. In addition, we try to return all messages, phone calls & emails within 1-2 business days. We may offer online scheduling in the future but currently we are not ready for that step. Thank you so much for understanding & supporting our small business. We appreciate your continual support by sharing & "liking" our posts. Always stay tuned for future specials and updates of whats happening inside the clinic & in the wellness community.

Let’s get you feeling better. 🙌🏼

Client chief complaint:
Pain through the left hip + glute region, plantar fasciitis affecting both feet, and low back pain. This client also works with dogs — which means a LOT of time on her feet, repetitive movement, bending, lifting, and all the things her body has to keep up with throughout a normal workday.

Treatment approach:
We took an integrative approach, focusing heavily on the lower extremities and back while still looking at how everything works together.

Treatment included overall soft tissue work, more isolated work through the IT bands + hip flexors, and jade scraping through the feet.

But here’s the part that isn’t always obvious in “let’s prep for treatment” video:

Throughout the entire session, I’m listening to the body.

How is the tissue responding to pressure?
Where is there restriction?
What areas seem to be compensating?
What movements, strain, or repetition happen over and over during this client’s workday?

Because treating the spot that hurts is only one piece of the puzzle.

✨ And then came the update I LOVE hearing.

This client returned one week later to continue working toward progress and reported that after her first treatment, she experienced a period of being pain-free.

From a therapist’s perspective, that is a BIG deal.

It gives us valuable feedback that the approach we used moved things in the right direction — and gives us a foundation to build on as we continue working toward longer-lasting relief and getting her out of that cycle of discomfort.

And even MORE music to my ears?

She followed through. 👏🏼

New tennis shoes ✔️
At-home self-care recommendations ✔️
Returned for follow-up work ✔️

Bodywork can do some incredible things, but what happens between appointments matters, too.

This is the kind of work we love.

Not just “that felt good.”

But… “I felt BETTER.” 🤍

Friendly reminder that the rest of the year is a LOT closer than it feels. 👀

& we’re all like “how?!” 😅
& before we know it the calendar is PACKED.

So let’s talk remaining appointment availability for the rest of 2026 — & friends, there really isn’t much left on my schedule & Brooke is steady busy!

If getting back on my table has been on your mental to-do list, if your body has been politely (or not-so-politely 😅) asking for some attention, or if you know the holiday season tends to leave you running on fumes… this is your sign to get it scheduled.

Massage, skincare & acupuncture aren’t just something to squeeze in when everything else is done. It’s often the very thing helps you keep doing everything else. 😉

This one is for all my fellow massage therapists, working moms & SAHM’s😘
IYKYK.

It is not a rare question to be asked:
“How are you managing it all?”

& I just respond with something like…
Oh, you know, just doing it but really it’s ✨grace, Jesus, caffeine, an aggressively overbooked calendar, and the occasional emotional support iced latte or cotton candy Alani.✨

Somewhere between being a business owner, massage therapist, homeschool mom, dance mom, chauffeur, grocery-getter, schedule-keeper, laundry-switcher, chicken tender, and keeper of everyone’s whereabouts…

I’m managing.

Is it well? That wasn’t the question. 😂

Some days I’m organized, productive and absolutely crushing it. (Soak up every minute of those days! 🙌🏼)

Other days I walk into a room and have no idea why I’m there. 😅

Balance is a scam. We’re riding the waves over here. 🌊😂 & we are totally here for you when it feels like it all comes crashing down 🫶🏼

🍋 Cozy Lemon Dilly Chicken Soup

Ingredients:
• 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken
• ¼ cup butter
• 1 yellow onion, diced
• 1½ cups carrots, chopped
• 1 cup celery, chopped
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 cups chicken stock
• 2 bay leaves
• ¾ cup Arborio rice, uncooked
• 1½ tsp salt
• ¾ tsp black pepper
• ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
• 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
• ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions:
• Cook chicken until done, then shred or chop and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large soup pot over medium heat.
• Add onion, carrots & celery. Sauté 5–7 minutes until they begin to soften.
• Add garlic and cook another 30–60 seconds.
• Pour in chicken stock and add bay leaves, salt & pepper. Bring to a boil.
• Stir in dry Arborio rice, then reduce to a gentle simmer. Cook about 15–20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until rice is tender.
• Add cooked chicken back to the pot and simmer another 3–5 minutes.
• Reduce heat to low/remove from heat and stir in fresh lemon juice, dill & parsley.
• Taste and adjust lemon, salt & pepper as desired. Remove bay leaves and serve!

🍋 Optional but SO good: Add a little fresh lemon zest at the end for an extra pop of lemon.

Tip: The Arborio rice continues soaking up broth as the soup sits, so add a splash of extra chicken stock when reheating if it gets too thick.

Seriously one of those cozy soups that tastes even better than it sounds. 🤤🍋🌿

The Sauna Guide is HERE… and so is online booking! 🌿🔥

We’ve officially launched the ability to schedule your infrared sauna sessions online, making it even easier to work a little intentional rest + recovery into your routine.

Our sauna space is designed to be comfortably self-guided, including during times when we’re tucked away serving clients in the treatment room. Inside, you’ll find our new Sauna Guide with everything you need to settle in, get comfortable, and make the most of your session — plus fresh linens, hot towels, chromotherapy, and all the cozy little touches. 🤍

And with the sick months creeping closer… this is a pretty good time to start making sauna part of your wellness routine. 👀

Regular sauna use may support circulation, relaxation, sleep, stress management, and overall wellbeing — all things that help support a healthy, resilient body during a season when taking care of yourself matters a little extra.

✨ No waiting for us to manually schedule you.
✨ Choose the session length that works for you.
✨ Come in, slow down, sweat, breathe & reset.

Your little escape is ready when you are. 🌿

Online booking is OPEN. 🔥
Book your infrared sauna session through our website or Vagaro.
