Helping guide the tissues to release tension.

Did you know the doctor who created the "R.I.C.E." method in 1978 retracted it in 2013 and found cold actually inhibits long term healing?! . Cold restricts blood and lymph vessels, slowing fluid and healing inflammatory cells. While heat dilates vessels, promotes fluid movement, and inflammatory cells that encourage long-term healing. . Universally, in traditional postpartum care, there are no methods that involve cold, rather, they're al...l bringing warmth back into the body. So while padsicles could bring down immediate swelling, is it beneficial to our body in the long-term? . If you feel padsicles are something you want to incorporate into your postpartum care, think about adding warming herbs! See more

Low Back Pain . Giving attention to the low back can be so revitalizing to the body. . Whether it's from sitting more, your little one wanting to be held more, or just moving.... . Waking up and releasing the low back can be so nourishing to our body. See more

That's right! . I'm so grateful for all the support and kind words during this time and I am happy to announce my re-opening date will be February 4th! . I’m excited to get back to work and to see each and every one of you after all this time between appointments, I know you’re ready for me!

F A J A S During pregnancy, wrapping a faja around the hips is a great way to stabilize the pelvis and add a little extra support underneath the belly as it starts to feel heavy and can put a strain on the low back. . After baby comes, it can be a gentle support for mother when she decides to start light movements to keep her pelvis secure.... . Beyond, its such a relief to wear during your cycle. Keeping your womb warm and protected energetically and physically. . You might see me wearing one during a session to help save my low back from a long day with clients! . Intersted in purchasing one? We have some @cafeoflifesd, come in and grab one for yourself! A huge thank you to @groundedwombdoula for supplying us with these amazing fajas! See more

T H E N E C K . One of the most common complaints I'm seeing in clients is neck pain. This could be for a few reasons depending on the individual, but most commonly, I hear they've increased their computer time along with more responsibility at home or work. . Looking at the neck in an unprocessed emotional aspect, the neck stores burden, and responsibilities. Rather than ask for help from others, you might be likely to take on the task ...of doing everything yourself. . If this sounds familiar, how could you learn to delegate, ask for support, and decide what's worth your time and energy? See more

Pregnancy massage is a natural way to reduce stress and promote overall wellness for you and baby(s). . Massage helps to relieve many of the common discomforts experienced during pregnancy, such as low back & hip pain, tight shoulders, leg cramps, headaches and swelling (edema) of the lower limbs.

Fall Equinox! Perfect balance returns, light and dark in harmony again for the final harvest. As we wheel in the last-lit days of seasonal symmetry, face the coming darkness together with gratitude for what we've learned about light. . Autumn's grain is spring's seed: paradox surrounds us with ripening wisdom. If we lose hope, remember that Hope has two daughters to support our balancing acts: Anger and Courage. ... . Instead of passive hope, embrace radical willingness. The good news is that an organism under attack creates blooming antibodies, devoted to restoring original health to the world's immune system. . Activist are that devotion. -Excerpt of Oak Chezar's Fall Equinox Holy Day writing.

I’ve been somewhat silent on here just because I was feeling the need to take a step back from social media and really listen to what my body needed and get all the static out of the background to allow for clarity. Now that some time has past, I'm excited to say my first opening for appointments will be on Sat. Sept. 5th! . My weekly schedule will be Thursday-Saturday 9-6p! I also wanted to give an update on what I've been doing with my time! . During this time, I've been d...iving deep, deep into my own self-healing, which is an ever-evolving process but starting @innatetraditions postpartum training has helped me pull back the hidden layers of trauma, ancestral grief, along with, accessing my own strengths that are trying to breathe. She has created a training that is truly a blueprint for healing & remembering who we are so you can help assist others in their healing. Rachelle is truly a gift to our planet and learning from her is life-changing, life-altering, paradigm-shifting in the best way possible. I can't wait to see what I curate and offer in regards to postpartum work! . In a few weeks, I will also be virtually working with @brittabushnellphd ! An incredibly wise woman with so much accumulated knowledge with her 20+ years in birthwork. It'll be a 6-month small group apprenticeship meeting virtually weekly with various topics that will help better serve the families I get to come in contact with! I can't wait to share more once I start the apprenticeship! . If you haven't heard of either of these teachers I highly suggest you check out their profiles! @innatetraditions @brittabushnellphd See more

With most massage businesses opening today, I will be waiting to open my practice back up. . I kept going back and forth, weighing my options and how I felt. I turned off the news and social media and went inward to get my answer. . A good friend told me after I felt anxious when I decided to not open immediately said, "You have a lifetime to work, so do what feels right."... . And waiting a while to open up feels right. . I miss my clients, I miss massage, but soon enough, I will be back. See more

#blackouttuesday

The biggest takeaway from my birthing experience was this. . Having the first six months of pregnancy care with an OB, then realizing Arrow wanted to be birthed at home, there was a big shift in the type of care I received. . I went from 15 min. appointments to 1 hr+ with my midwife @holisticmidwife, questions like How are you feeling? turned into, How can you feel more supported during this process?... . They helped me find my voice, confidently make my OWN choices, embody my own experience, & most of all, accept & surrender to the unpredictable process. . This is not to say ALL OB’s & Midwives give care in this way, but this was my experience. I'm so happy I listened to my intuition & found a birth provider that gave me individualized care before & especially after birth. See more

Part two of #babesandbooks coming soon.

To all the mamas, you make this world go round. Wishing you all a happy mothers day!
