I hope you enjoy reading these articles. If you have a topic you'd like for me to cover, please don't hesitate to let me know.
No reopening date set yet. I have other services to support you at this time, and I am continuing to offer a sliding scale.
READ ONSome of you have known me solely as a massage therapist, but I have an array of other services, as well, that I can offer virtually while we are all social distancing. I am a Reiki Master, a certified Soul Coach, Intuitive Life Coach, and I have been trained in Past Life Regression Therapy. And throughout my training in those modalities, I developed a fun little thing called a Divine Soul Reading.
READ ONI had to find a daily routine once my daily routine was disrupted, just like it was for most of us. How creating a routine helped me bounce back from being a sad Sally to being productive and finding meaning in life again. Without my routine I would still be feeling lost and purposeless.
READ ONHow are you doing during this time? Are you longing for connection? Are you finding ways to help? I am trying to find my way back to some normalcy and find ways to help.
READ ONStress is killing us. In its naturally occurring form, oxytocin reduces stress. If being touched releases oxytocin, then don’t you think massage could significantly help reduce your stress with all those nerve receptors being stimulated? Relaxation is more than a luxury—it is a key component to your health and overall wellbeing!
READ ONDo you remember your childhood? How your parents talked to you? How other elders spoke to you? Were you acknowledged? Did they want to listen to your opinions? Did they bother to ask how your day was? How you felt about something that happened to you? What you wanted? Or, did they ignore you, NOT ask about your day, or what was the matter? Did they tell you to be quiet if you had an opinion or feelings they didn’t want to hear?
READ ONBirthdays. BIRTHDAYS!!!! Ugh! Who else has a love-hate relationship with their birthday? Who just LOOOVES when their birthday rolls around? Are you one of the lucky ones who doesn’t get what I call the “birthday blues?” If you are one of those people, then congratulations! (I am rolling my eyes, but I truly am happy for you…on some level. I am just jealous, so please forgive the snarkiness.) ;)
READ ONNineteen years old. That’s how old I was when I got diagnosed with diverticulitis. This is a health issue that usually occurs in older populations. According to this Cleveland Clinic article, “Diverticulosis is very common in Western populations and occurs in 10 percent of people over age 40 and in 50 percent of people over age 60. The rate of diverticulosis increases with age, and it affects almost everyone over age 80.”
READ ONOutside of some beach trips with my mom and her side of the family, I wasn't one of those kids who grew up going on family vacations; my parents separated when I was one. We didn't hop planes to go places, we didn't go on road trips anywhere – no ski lodges, no Carowinds or Busch Gardens, nothing. I did hear several times about potential trips we were going to go on, though. All that being said, I always wanted to try my hand at skiing.
READ ONEpic fail in regards to my first ski experience, but that was ok because it was now time to take a snowboarding lesson. Maybe this would be my thing. Maybe I would get it. Maybe I'd be a natural, I did do yoga, after all, and I have fairly good balance. HA! And maybe I needed to just be in the moment and wait and see what unfolded instead of putting pressure on myself and on the situation.
READ ONOn Wednesday, February 15th I hopped a plane to Salt Lake City, UT to make my second attempt at snowboarding and/or skiing, depending on if the snowboarding didn't take and I decided to try skiing. I was on my way to where there was real snow, and real slopes, and where people really knew how to ski. Oh my!
READ ONIs there something, anything, that you feel comes naturally to you? Maybe it was a skill you were born with or one you developed over time. Well, for me, that skill is coaching. No, not sports coaching, but life coaching. There may be some similarities between the two – strategizing, motivating, and finding weaknesses and improving upon them, to name a few – but they’re still different ball games. Pun intended.
READ ONDo you take care of yourself — truly care for your being? If so, how do you do that? What does that look like? Maybe you don't know what self-care is, or maybe you think you have no time for it. Or maybe you do know what it is, have time for it, but still do nothing. Here are some easy tips for self-care that you can do daily, weekly, and monthly.
