Secrets of Massage Magic

You are amazing! Your body is full of magic and mystery. In over 30 years of doing bodywork I’ve discovered some of this vast mystery and magic, some of which I’ve been blessed to have the opportunity to share with you in the course of your massages, like in feeling unexpected connections in the body and surprising relief from simple techniques. But there’s more! And it’s too good not to share!

I’ve discovered

  • where there are potent points in the body that lead to quick relief,
  • what simple techniques there are to reduce tension where we carry it the most,
  • how to massage oneself or others in ways that leave us feeling better, too,
  • and more.

And I’m ready to share with you what I’ve learned!

Space is limited. So act now.

Fall Forward

   

Autumn Equinox – a time for gathering, for collecting oneself, for taking stock of one’s life, of oneself. With this season’s change, I invite you to lean in to who you are, to all the bits and pieces, lean in to your self-judgements and criticisms and practice one act of radical self-acceptance; to love yourself fully, whole – ly.

What would your life look like if you loved yourself as if you were a child? How would your compassion, love and support for yourself grow? What self-limiting thoughts could you let fall away?
