Ritual Massage Co

Grateful to share this space and practice that I love with friends 🧡

I had a jolly good time putting my business out there at the Shiny Things for Shiny People market. Hadn’t done chair massage in at least 2-3 years. So different than how I normally work because I love that skin-on-skin action! 😉 A deeper reaction is elicited in the nervous system. On the other hand, I love that in chair massage I can change someone’s outlook in 5-10 minutes. The response people have is almost the same as in a juicy 90 minute sesh. Always blows my mind. You can find me at the next one as long as the weather is above a reasonable temp. PM me if you know of other quality markets you think may be a great fit for my biz. ☺️ Lots of love to you and yours as we near the solstice. ✨

Fascia: The Body's Remarkable, Functional Glue

The best explanation of fascia I've seen! Why it's important to treat the body as a whole and not just one part or even one system. It is ALL connected.

Fascia: The Body's Remarkable, Functional Glue There’s a connective tissue running all throughout your body that not only holds all your muscles and organs together, but also has sensory and mechanical pr...

When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health

Health is wealth. Simple as that!

When We Eat, or Don’t Eat, May Be Critical for Health A growing body of research suggests that our bodies function optimally when we align our eating patterns with our circadian rhythms.

Thoughts for the evening: “No matter who you are or
what you do, your body is your dearest and most prominent
tool. That is why we hands-on therapists create such close
relationships with our clients—it’s because we work with
everyone’s closest friend."
-Tom Myers

Reposting because they're great massage notes to work by.

THIRTEEN RULES OF MASSAGE

1. Slow down when you need to. Speed up when you don’t need to slow down. Massage that’s always slow is ultimately boring massage.
2. Palpate – how can you love if you don’t know what’s there?
3. Know anatomy – not just in general. Have memorized the origins, insertions and actions for at least the 90 most important muscles.
4. Care; really care; let your care be palpable.
5. First do no harm – to yourself! Pay attention to your body mechanics and your psycho-mechanics.
6. Don’t substitute force for intelligence.
7. Take a history; your client’s complaint arises from and takes place within their whole life. You’re working on time as much as space.
8. Try to do not more than 4 sessions a day.
9. Become a boundary genius; when you hold to impeccable boundaries it becomes a powerful part of the healing process. When you create an atmosphere of total safety and trust, the healing process is initiated.
10. Don’t hedge on the business side – you are in the massage business as much as you are assisting in the healing process.
11. Get massage. Not getting massage is like a writer never reading.
12. Take a workshop at least once a year; a vacation twice a year, and a contemplative break once a day.
13. Don’t give up. Work, exacting work, moves mountains.

Great rules for therapists.

Some thoughts for today...

Hey y'all! It's been a while since I've posted here. It's now past my one month anniversary since accepting a LMT position at Viva Day Spa! It is an awesome company to work for & I learn something new every day. I am still available for private massage sessions at my home between 11am-2pm on Mondays & Fridays, and between 11-5pm on Thursdays. If those times don't work for you, you can still reach out and we can work on finding time together. Or come see me at the spa. 😉

Thank you to all my clients thus far.

**Valentine's Couple Special** $130 for a 60-minute couple's massage or $180 for 90 minutes with myself and Katie Sachs from Grassroots Massage Services. This coming Monday or Wednesday. Show your love some love!

Hey y'all! It's about time I spread the word. I received my massage therapy license and I am open for business! I already rocked a company retreat this past weekend and they all thought I had been massaging for years. :D Contact me if you or a loved one needs some loving, therapeutic touch. I am currently available for outcalls as well as sessions given in my home.
