There’s something deeply soothing about the beginning of a massage — before the oils, before working directly with the skin.

I often begin through the towel, using gentle compression and touch to listen to the body. It gives me a chance to gather information: where tension is being held, where the body feels guarded or restricted, and what areas stand out to me energetically.

This slower beginning can feel incredibly comforting — a chance for the nervous system to settle and for the body to feel safe, supported and seen before we move into the deeper work with oil.

✨ A rare massage appointment has become available this Thursday at 1:00pm.

If your body has been asking for some attention, this might be your sign. 🤍

The Pilates Stance… the slight external rotation of the hips glueing the heels together . Activating the inner thighs, pelvic floor and glutes and lower abdominal muscles. Here is a great explanation of how it came to be and why!
