Ever Evolving Expressions of business and life. Also known as, “here comes a schedule change.”
Some time has passed since my last posting. If you’re following along, you probably know I’m constantly carrying a pretty big load of projects and education I’m working toward. That’s not to glorify my busyness or make some list of reasons to break my communication. Essentially, what I want to say, is that when I’m quiet, I’m preparing to launch something. And-it’s just me so I don’t have anyone else writing for me. I actually love to write as a part of self-expression but it takes a lot of time to get into the write (see what I did there? ha!) place mentally. I often begin these things and they sit in my queue for days until I can return and refine. Anyone else a creative and can relate?
Changes to scheduling and evolving projects.
During a recent Luteal Phase tantrum (IYKYK) I had a realization about a few things. This is the beauty of cycle syncing and feeling fully into the phase we’re in. If you don’t know about cycle syncing, I’d love to talk to you about it. Yes, even men have a cycle. We are all being nudged by cycles even if it’s simply the change of season. It’s been clear to me that some things needed to change for me but the wisdom of Luteal brought some clarity.
It’s been clear to me based on many conversations I’ve had with clients that there are pressures all over the world. I get it. I feel it too. That’s why I’ve been adamant not to raise my prices even though I have also felt the pressure. Instead of raising my prices, I’m looking to optimize my schedule. Moving forward, I have a few options to consider.
- 75 minute sessions will no longer exist.
- 90 Minute sessions are preferred for so many reasons. And yet, time and money is what it’s all about, right? So I will still offer 60 minutes and the sliding scale offerings. Honestly, the majority of you schedule 90 minutes sessions anyway so I don’t anticipate a lot of challenge here. These 90 min sessions will be table or mat massage or a combo of both.
- 2 hour sessions are also still available and I love those as well!
- Foot soaks are also available and at no cost.
- Booking times are the biggest thing that’s changing. This will take a few months to shake out as we get used to it. This is the best way for me to optimize my day while giving my brain expected space to work on some of the other projects I’ve been yearning to birth into the world.
- Monday/Friday 830a, 1030a, 1230p, 230p
- Wednesday 130p, 330p, 530p
- Workshops: Please consider the workshops I’ll be releasing soon.
These workshops allow us to be together. There is great healing in wondering together and moving together and being in the same room. I’ve been teaching massage therapy since 2015 and I’ve been curious about how to begin to teach what I know about massage, healing, transformation, and relief to my clients? There are limits to the treatment room with only myself and one other person. These workshops will expand that reach and offer something that we’ve known in our bones to be true yet we’ve lost sight of the wealth in togetherness. Workshops will be informed by my long history of massage experience but will rarely include massage. (Not always, as my partner massage class is very popular workshop).
Massage is not the only way to heal. In fact, that’s been a question I’ve been asking myself for some time. Where does massage fit into peoples lives? And are there other ways to heal, integrate, and soothe? The answer is yes. It’s been clear to me that the style of therapeutics I provide is not your average massage. (Not to discount others, because I’m a frequent receiver of all kinds of massage. I don’t believe DEEP is the only way to receive despite that being the service I offer). I’ve been listening to you, the ones I tend to on a weekly basis, what are my strengths and what is that makes me the healing human that I am? And you’ve answered and given me plenty of inspiration to work with.
I’m not leaving massage. I’m finding more ways to compliment what I’m already creating for you.
I’ve been busy obtaining the credentials and the education I need to expand to offer what I’ve either experienced myself or dream that could be healing and integrating for you.
If you’ve been following my podcast channel and listening along, you’ll know that I value individual therapy and group therapy and how those can be complimentary. Also, I see the value in incorporating many modalities for healing and growth (and knowing what to do and when can be overwhelming). And something that has worked in the past may not always work and that is part of the process.
Hurdles are apparent in every transition. And I could make a list a mile long full of reasons that I should or shouldn’t offer these things. Luckily, I’ve had a pocket of mentors and colleagues to help guide me through these offerings. From local leaders to fellow students across the country. Some of my greatest resources are humans in other places.
One of the most transformational experiences I’ve had recently is being in powerful conversations with the intention of becoming more skillful humans.
Somatics is the work of becoming more skillful humans through powerful conversations and connections with our Soma (body). You may not know what the body of understanding called Somatic is, that’s okay. I’m not limiting myself to workshops that are solely somatic based. I can tell you Somatics will be a part of these healing workshops. In my understanding, Somatics is the practice of listening deeply to the body and the wisdom it desires to share. I also have training in self-massage, breath work, and containment.
In these workshops, we ask big questions about our life and move gently toward creating new expressions. We reconnect with our body in safe and titrated ways so we can be with what our body is wanting to share.
These workshops are not solely powerful conversations. They are carefully curated by myself that includes aspects of all the most powerful approaches. That includes, nervous system understanding, self-massage, breath containment, and movement.
These workshops are for you if:
- You feel there’s something not working for you.
- You desire a more connected experience in the world
- You can see a connection to your mind and body but unsure about how to bridge them together
- You like yoga class but looking for a more collaborative experience
All people are welcome to these workshops and on my table. Typically, I work with many mothers specifically around pregnancy and postpartum.
These workshops will be a series of offerings and some one-day workshops as well. To view the schedule, check it out here.
