Such a fun weekend!

I can’t wait to show you what I learned!

I legit cried, and trembled when receiving it was so powerful!

I feel lighter, emotionally regulated, and excited to step into the next stage of this journey!

Just another way I can heal my community!

What’s better than throughly enjoying your CEU?

Getting your favorite meal!

🥘 ramen with a taro boba 🧋

Ohh and I tried takoyaki 🐙

Yummm

Gonna watch that Mr. Rogers movie and go to bed!

Somatics is amazing btw.

The things I picked up on not only on others while giving but also on myself while receiving is incredible.

Nail on head everytime.

It came fluidly and with immense curiosity!

I can’t wait to share it!

Excited to be here!! Let’s learn some somatics!!

Never forget!

Twenty-five years after Sept. 11, 2001, we pause to remember the lives lost, honor the first responders and service members who answered the call, and recognize the resilience of a nation forever changed by that day.

The legacy of 9/11 lives not only in remembrance, but in the generations of Americans who chose service, sacrifice and commitment to something greater than themselves.

Today, we honor the fallen, those who responded in our nation’s darkest hours, and the families whose lives were forever changed.

We remember. We honor. We will never forget.

Grief Doesn’t Only Affect the Heart—It Can Affect the Body, Too.

Grief can show up in many ways. For some, it’s muscle tension, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, headaches, or simply feeling disconnected from their body.

While massage therapy isn’t a treatment for grief itself, a safe, supportive environment and compassionate therapeutic touch may help ease physical tension, encourage relaxation, and provide comfort during difficult seasons of life. Supporting the body can be one piece of supporting the whole person.

This thoughtful article from AMTA’s Massage Therapy Journal explores the role massage can play when working with clients experiencing grief and loss.
