10 years ago, today, I officially started Living Anew Therapeutic Massage!
It’s been fun and I’ve sooo enjoyed all the clients and colleagues it has brought to my table, my life and circle!
Not sure what the future holds, but cheers to all of it!
Much love to all. - Megan

Needing some TLC this week! Check out my amazing office-mate Rachel Snyder, MAcOM, LAc, LMT.

I've seen her for Acupuncture, Cupping, Herbs, "all the things" a Chinese Medicine Practitioner does, for nearly a decade and have known her for 18 years. In fact I'm seeing her this week and cannot wait to get some heart cupping.

I have two massages open this week just in time for Valentine’s Day!

Tuesday, February 13th: 1pm

Getting a massage is so much more than “pampering”.
It’s a time to breathe, relax, and bring attention and relief to the sore and tight muscles and soft tissues that challenge your body’s ability to move freely.

I remember waking up in my tent and feeling like I could wake up there every day. I felt more comfortable in Nature than I did in the concrete jungle rat race. I knew I had to continue on with what I was doing to pay my bills, but Nature surely revealed to me parts of myself I was unaware of. My own Nature. It’s worth every moment of discovery, only every time I find my Self immersed in Natures abundant world. Our abundant world.

I have time for you THIS WEEK!
Tuesday, Sept. 12th: 1pm
Wed. Sept. 13th: 5:30pm
Thurs. Sept. 14th: 3pm
Yay!!!

Over the years I’ve had so many people come in for their massage when they are snotty, coughing, or generally not well.

I know we have allergies here in Austin that take us down most of the year, and even that is uncomfortable on the table.

When you’re body is trying to fight off the infection and you are being massaged, energy that would be going to healing and fighting the infection is now being directed toward reacting to signals being sent through the nervous system during your massage.

So if you aren’t feeling well, have a fever, or positive for any sort of disease or infection, please cancel your massage appointment and rest, for you and your Massage Therapists sake!

Why do we feel like we are floating after a massage? I mean, not like levitating, but just lighter and sometimes happier?

Research shows that massage can lower stress hormones that create the “fight or flight” response and can actually boost your “feel good” neurotransmitters like dopamine, serotonin, endorphins and oxytocin.

Cool huh?

Stay hydrated out there!

Hi Friends!
A friend of mine, Anita Robertson, LCSW: ADHD and Relationship Specialist, is beginning a virtual course based off her book, "ADHD & Us", starting in October!
"It will be a great jump start for anyone wanting to understand their neurodiverse relationship and what makes it thrive".
Check it out!

This little guy lives in the toad habitat in my veggie garden. He clearly has an answer for this question on these hot days.

I take epsom salt baths regularly. The magnesium helps to relax my muscles after a full day at the office. I also work on being mindless. I can get in my head a lot about work and life, so I try to process what I need to and then give myself permission to relax with a documentary or movie. My garden is also my happy place where I talk to the plants and toads, perhaps some birds who show up to munch on my strawberries.

How about you? What are your favorite ways to recover, relax, rejuvenate, and restore your body, mind, and soul?

ONLINE SCHEDULING makes booking your massages a breeze. Getting booked ahead of time clears your mind to take care of other things, leaving you less stressed because you know your self-care is scheduled and on it's way. YAY!

Living Anew Therapeutic Massage Living Anew Therapeutic Massage is dedicated to empowering you through self-care education and bodywork to feel and be at your best. Every session will be specific to your needs and hopefully leave you feeling lighter, looser, and happier!

Our body is so intelligent. If we can listen, it tells us all kinds of things we need to know.

A little twinge here and a sharp pain there. Dizziness? Cold chill? Sweating?

So many signals that may guide us to take better care, or send us to a professional who might be able to help.

What is your body telling you right now?

One of my favorite ways to slow down and connect is camping or hiking. I find that I’m able to show up for my Self, nature, and/or friends in probably the most natural and authentic way, because everything else disappears. The worries, the fears, the rat race, all of it. I just love it.

Then there is massage. That’s my second favorite way to slow down. Connecting with another human through therapeutic touch, my body and self through being touched, and my mind through whatever comes up for me during that time.

Isn’t life fun?

I love this deck. So many great exercises. Check this one out!

Ooooh, good one! Have you asked your Self this question lately?

How do you show unconditional Self-Love?
Do you take breaks?
Do you make appointments with your doctor or therapist when you need help?
Do you reach out to a friend when you need connection?

I’d love to hear from you!

Do you struggle with chronic stress? Massage is a great tool to help manage your stress and anxiety as it helps to relieve muscle tension, brings blood flow to sore and tight areas which helps decrease inflammation, and allows you to take a breather from your day.

And of course all the things the Mayo Clinic says. YESSSSS!!!!

What a great reminder that we have a choice in life. We don’t always have to choose playfulness especially if we feel like we want to wallow in our own s**t, but dang, playing sounds much more fun than shouldering heavy burdens, if even for an hour of distraction. PLAY!!! I LOVE these affirmation cards.

The gorgeous geometry of a slice of okra is exquisite. It’s the little things that make life fun!

It was also delicious, covered in corn meal and sautéed. So there’s that, too. ❤️

Is it being around emotionally safe people so your nervous system isn’t flying off into the ethers?

Is it your couch covered in soft blankets?

Is it your pet greeting you when you come home?

Is it your partner and the way they smile at you for no reason?

Is it when you know you are taking care of your needs, physically and emotionally?

Is it on a walk in the park?

I’d love to hear from you!!!!

Grab an affirmation the next time your in my office! So fun to see what I get everyday.

I just pulled this one…

“It’s going to be OK”.

Things may not be ideal in every aspect of your life right now, but look your Self in the mirror and say it…It’s going to be OK.
OK is OK, right?

WooHoo!!

It’s nice and cool in the massage room! Perfect for rejuvenation and relaxation.

Booking info in the comments. I have time this week!!!

Just had an opening for Saturday!
