Radiant Reset

A Self Facial Massage Class

A Virtual Self-Care Workshop via Zoom

Dec. 6th at 4pm
Price: $180

Refresh, sculpt, and reconnect with your natural glow from the comfort of home. Radiant Reset is an interactive Zoom workshop designed to teach you simple, effective self-facial massage techniques you can incorporate into your regular wellness routine.

Together, we’ll explore hands-on techniques to help encourage circulation, support lymphatic flow, release tension, reduce the appearance of puffiness, and leave your face feeling relaxed, refreshed, and radiant.

You’ll learn how to use your hands along with facial cups and gua sha tools, with guidance on pressure, direction, technique, and how to safely create a facial massage ritual that works for you.

Your Radiant Reset Goody Bag

Before class, you’ll receive a special self-care kit filled with everything you need to follow along, including:

*Facial cups
*Gua sha tool
*Facial massage oil
*Self-care extras and surprises

During our live Zoom session, we’ll unbox our tools together and walk step-by-step through a complete facial rejuvenation routine. From the neck and lymphatic pathways to the jaw, cheeks, mouth, eyes, forehead, and scalp.

No previous experience is needed. Just bring your goody bag, a mirror, a comfortable place to relax, and a little time dedicated completely to you.

Reset the tension. Refresh your face. Rediscover your radiance.

Goody bag included with registration.
Registration deadline is 11/25

Ultimate Face & Neck Revitilization

The ultimate Crown to Collarbone facial massage experience designed to release tension, encourage circulation and lymphatic flow, and leave you looking refreshed, lifted, and radiant.

This comprehensive treatment combines buccal massage, brow-lifting techniques, facial cupping, gua sha, lymphatic drainage, and therapeutic facial massage to address the face from multiple layers. Intraoral buccal massage works inside and outside the mouth to release deep tension through the jaw and facial muscles, while focused brow and forehead techniques help soften areas of habitual tension and create a more open, refreshed appearance.

Facial cupping and gua sha are incorporated to encourage circulation, support lymphatic movement, reduce the appearance of puffiness, and gently sculpt the contours of the face. Treatment extends through the scalp, neck, jaw, face, and décolleté, creating a deeply relaxing experience while addressing common areas of tension.

Perfect for anyone experiencing jaw or facial tension, puffiness, stress, or simply wanting a natural approach to facial rejuvenation.

Release. Sculpt. Lift. Glow.

Treatment time: 75 minutes
Price: $180

✨ Sweat. Stretch. Soak. REPEAT! 💪🧘‍♀️♨️

My heart is full, my muscles are happy, and I’m still smiling from our Sweat, Stretch, & Soak Day Retreat! 💚

What an incredible day of movement, laughter, connection, relaxation, and a whole lot of FUN!

A HUGE thank you to everyone who joined me and brought such amazing energy to the day. From sweating it out and stretching it all out to soaking away the stress, every moment was a reminder of why I love bringing people together through movement and wellness.

There’s something so special about taking time for yourself, trying something new, connecting with others, and just enjoying the moment.

We worked hard, laughed harder, and relaxed even harder! 🥰

I’m beyond grateful for this amazing community and already dreaming up the next retreat!

✨ Stay tuned… because I can’t wait to do it all again! Who’s coming to the next one?! 🙋‍♀️

Burn it down. Stretch it out. Soak it up. 🔥

Your abdomen deserves attention, too. ❤️

Abdominal massage can be an incredibly grounding addition to bodywork, and this area is often overlooked.

✨ Why work the abdomen?

Gentle abdominal massage can help:
• Encourage relaxation and reduce abdominal muscle tension
• Support comfortable digestive movement
• Improve awareness of breathing and diaphragm movement
• Address tension through the abdominal wall and surrounding fascia
• Promote circulation to the tissues being worked
• Create a greater sense of connection between the ribs, abdomen, pelvis, and low back

And here’s something we sometimes forget: your core isn’t just your abs. The diaphragm, abdominal muscles, pelvic floor, spine, hips, and breath all work together.

Abdominal massage doesn’t need to be aggressive to be effective. Slow, intentional work can be incredibly calming, and for the right client, it can be an important piece of whole-body massage.

💆🏼‍♀️ Don’t skip the belly. It’s part of the body, too.

💪🏼 6 WEEKS IN! 💪🏼

Six weeks into training for my bodybuilding competition and I’m officially down 10 pounds! 🎉

Am I sore? Yep.
Am I tired? Absolutely! 🫠
Am I LOVING this journey? 💯

It’s been challenging, exciting, humbling, and incredibly rewarding to watch my body get stronger and change week by week. I’m learning so much about training, nutrition, recovery, consistency, and what I’m capable of when I really commit to a goal.

And we’re just getting started. 🔥

I’ll keep sharing the workouts, meal prep, progress, wins, struggles, and everything in between as I work toward stepping on stage in May 2027.

Have questions about my training, workouts, nutrition, bodybuilding prep, or anything else I’m sharing? ASK AWAY!

I’d love to make some upcoming posts and reels answering your questions.

Here’s to the next 6 weeks. 💪🏼🤩❤️

TRIGGER POINT THURSDAY: Meet Your SCM

That rope-like muscle running along the front/side of your neck? That’s your sternocleidomastoid (SCM), and it does a LOT of work.

The SCM helps you:
✨ Turn your head side to side
✨ Tilt your head toward your shoulder
✨ Assist with neck flexion
✨ Stabilize your head and neck
✨ Assist with breathing when you’re working hard

Between phones, computers, driving, stress, and everyday posture, the SCM can feel tight, tender, and overworked.

🙌 Try this gentle release:

Turn your head slightly to one side so the SCM becomes easier to find. Using your thumb and index finger, gently grasp the muscle itself along the side of the neck.

Apply light pressure and slowly work along the muscle from the collarbone up toward just below the ear. You can pause on tender areas, breathe, and allow the tissue to soften rather than digging in. As you slide up, you can also torque and bend the muscle from side to side.

⚠️ Keep it gentle! The front and sides of the neck contain important blood vessels, nerves, and other sensitive structures. Avoid pressing deeply or directly into the throat, and stop if you feel dizziness, nausea, numbness, tingling, a strong pulse, or other unusual symptoms.

Try 20–30 seconds per area, then follow it with a gentle neck stretch.

Save this for your next neck-and-shoulder reset. 💙

Happy Labor Day Weekend!

This weekend feels like the perfect time for a little check-in, because there’s a LOT happening around here.

💪 THE ROAD TO THE STAGE

My bodybuilding journey is officially underway!

I’m training toward a pretty big personal goal: stepping on stage at the NPC bodybuilding competition in Lincoln City on May 15, 2027.

And yes…that still feels a little wild to say out loud.

This journey is about so much more than what happens on competition day. It’s about discovering what I’m capable of, challenging myself in a completely new way, and practicing the thing I’m always encouraging others to do:

Show up consistently, even when it isn’t perfect.

I’ll be sharing the whole journey along the way: workouts, strength training, meal prep, nutrition, progress, challenges, wins, lessons learned, and probably a few “what did I get myself into?” moments.

My hope is that following along might inspire you to set a goal of your own. It doesn’t have to involve a stage, a competition, or lifting heavy weights.

Maybe it’s getting stronger. Moving more. Trying something new. Taking better care of yourself. Or simply making yourself a priority again.

Whatever it is, start where you are.

🔥 LAST CALL TO SWEAT, STRETCH & SOAK

Speaking of showing up for yourself…

This is your LAST CALL to join me for the Sweat, Stretch & Soak Day Retreat! Registration Closes on Sept. 15th

This retreat is one of my favorite combinations of everything I love about wellness:

🔥 SWEAT: Core and Glute focused strength and movement using bands and pilates rings to get your body working
🧘‍♀️ STRETCH: Hip and Shoulder Mobility, and deep stretching yoga to help you move and feel better
🥗 REFUEL: Lunch, rest, connection, and time to recharge
♨️ SOAK: A well-earned finish in the soaking pools
✨ Plus meditation, self-care, laughter, and a day away from your normal routine.

No competition prep required. No fitness level you need to reach first.

Just come as you are.

☕️💪 PROTEIN COFFEE - how and why??

Need your caffeine and your protein? Meet one of my favorite easy ways to sneak a little more protein into the day: Protein Coffee!

HOW I MAKE IT
Brew your favorite coffee or use cold brew

* Add 1 scoop of your favorite protein powder
* Add in your creatine or other powders that you use
* Add milk or milk alternative (if you want)
* Blend, froth, or shake until creamy
* Add ice if you want🧊

PRO TIP: Mix your protein powder with a little cool milk or water FIRST, then add your hot coffee. It helps keep everything smooth instead of clumpy!

💪 WHY ADD PROTEIN?
✨ Helps support muscle repair and recovery
✨ Makes your morning coffee more filling
✨ Helps you work toward your daily protein goals
✨ Super easy for busy mornings
✨ A great option alongside breakfast or as a post-workout pick-me-up

Getting enough protein is a BIG part of training, and I’m all about finding simple ways to make it happen. I know it can be hard to hit those numbers sometimes. So here’s an easy way to add 20 more grams for your day.

Save this one for tomorrow morning! ☕️🏋🏼‍♀️

DAY ONE 🏋🏼‍♀️💪🏼

Today officially marks Day 1 of training toward a goal that feels equal parts exciting, intimidating, and completely outside my comfort zone… 🫠🙃

✨ I’m training to compete in a bodybuilding competition! ✨

I’m not starting at the finish line. I’m starting exactly where I am, and I’m going to share the process along the way.

The workouts. The strength gains. The posing practice. The meal prep. The sore muscles. The wins. The frustrating days. The progress photos. And probably plenty of “what did I get myself into?” moments. 😂

This isn’t about becoming smaller. It’s about seeing how strong, disciplined, confident, and powerful I can become.

Today’s workout wasn’t perfect. It didn’t need to be.

It just needed to happen. Here are some highlights from this morning. I’ve never filmed workouts before… so I’m still figuring out angles and being discrete. 🫠😳🤪

Day 1: DONE. 💪🏼🔥

Follow along as I build toward the stage. One workout, one meal, one rep, and one day at a time.
