A little blast from the past.

It’s interesting what we will consider a skill in our wheelhouse when we can’t afford to hire someone else to do it for us. The sign above my door means the world to me. I no longer loo…

The Studio will be opening the month of November up for appointments on Oct 1.

In an attempt to heal my circadian rhythm, I have been feeling the need to start some of my days A LOT earlier. If I have a great reason like YOU to be up before the dawn, it will make it so much easier.

So, be on the lookout for new hours.

Additionally, there are a few more changes that have gone in to affect or will be going into affect soon:

The Studio has discontinued the sale of gift certificates…and…there will be a small price increase on January 1, 2027. To offset these changes, the Studio is planning some special offers that will be announced in the coming months. So, no worries—no stress—deep breaths. 🌀

“Sauna + Session” to start your day off right?

The United Nations declared 2026 as the International Year of the Woman Farmer. This inspired us to reflect on the incredible women farmers we work with and share how their knowledge and perspective have shaped the herbal industry.

It is that time of the biennial again.

Did you know that in order for your New Jersey massage and bodywork therapists to renew their license(s), they are required by law to take 20 hours of continuing education classes every two years?

These classes have to be approved by the National Certification Board for Therapeutic Massage and Bodywork by NCBTMB certified instructors.

And… only 6 credit hours can be completed online.

14 credit hours must be done in-person for hands on experience. (Makes sense to me.)

Courses in Ethics, Law, and Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation are MANDATORY. (This RN is loving it.😊)

Did you know that some massage and bodywork therapists have time management issues? ⏰

Well, this subtype of therapists usually thrives on cramming all of their continuing education in at the very last minute prior to renewing their license(s).

It’s quite the dopamine rush.

This year, I will be driving to Parsippany, Princeton, Metuchen, and Neptune in order to achieve my requirements. Approximately 15 hours of drive time. Yeehaw!

What does this have to do with anything?

Well, these new-to-me continuing education classes will be part of another Clinic that will happen at the beginning of 2027.

Stay tuned…

💫 New Jersey has some of the most stringent schooling, continuing education, and background checking requirements in the US and that means that YOU have some of the best therapists in the US working for you. 💪🏼

After five years in one place, I began posting this epiphanic “poem”:

“A life spent living in the shadows of one’s mind is sometimes difficult to articulate—much less transcribe.

And that is alright.

Merely relying on a platform to gauge innate creativity and self-worth is not nearly as epic as the lifelong synchrony of a heart...

If I did not know this, I would be circling the drain on the daily.

And while it has taken time to embrace my nature—
as I have thought I was wrestling with a purpose only to have found myself entangled with fragments (mostly figments) of failure—well into my life’s most poignant of parts, I continue.

I stop.

I start.

October marks 8 years on the Shore—more years than I usually spend in one place.

Never had a 3-5-10 year plan. And...

So far so good, man.”

However, all good things must not end, but evolve to better-than.

The next two years I wish to taper the Studio with grace.

In the meantime, I will continue learning this craft so that I will be ready for where ever I land.🦋🌀🦋🌀🦋🌀🦋🌀🦋

Where is the Studio?

The Studio hasn’t had signage or address plaque for quite a while. Luckily, it hasn’t caused too many problems.

I have been working on curb appeal since relocating here in 2021. It has been slow-go secondary to events that were out of my control.

Thankfully, I am almost done—Because I am rapidly becoming uninspired, lol.

So, if you are new to the Studio, it is the spot that has no sign or address plaque on Asbury between 13th and 14th on the same side of the street as:

🍦Johnny B Goode Ice Cream Parlor 🍦

If you see 🥨Boyar’s Food Market 🥨on your right as you are headed toward
🚦14th🚦…

STOP— clap your hands.

⬆️Turn yourself around & get back here.⬆️
