SARGA isn’t your average massage.

It’s slow. Intentional. Regulating.
Like a deep exhale your body forgot it knew how to take.

Perfect for:
• chronically tight bodies
• athletes + active humans
• nervous system overload
• people who want deep work without feeling beat up afterward

Honestly, sometimes the body needs less force… and more support.

Hello friends,

A quick scheduling update for the week!

First things first: I have one random 60-minute opening tomorrow (Monday) at 1:45 PM for one lucky human whose body has been demanding attention.

If that's you, grab it before someone else does.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Now, let's talk about our wonderful team and finding the right massage for what your body actually needs.

Looking for deep tissue?

If your ideal massage includes elbows, trigger point work, and enough pressure to make you question some of your life choices, book with The Velvet Hammer (that's me) or hop onto Valerie's schedule.

Current openings:

Valerie is currently completely booked this week, however cancellations do happen. If you're hoping to get in with her, keep an eye on our schedule or add yourself to her waitlist.

Looking to relax?

This is where Cathy shines.

Cathy is our relaxation specialist and has availability this Friday and Saturday. Her work is calming, nurturing, restorative, and perfect for anyone whose nervous system has been running on pure determination.

She'll help you unwind, slow down, and remember what it feels like to not be carrying the weight of the world on your shoulders.

However...

If your goal is to have someone apply the approximate pressure of a small elephant standing on your back, Cathy is not your therapist, and that's okay.

Different therapists, different styles all of us with the same goal of helping you feel better.

Friday

• Cathy: 2pm–7pm

Saturday

• Cathy: 10am–6pm

One final note: Maria will be out of the office this Sunday, so her regular Sunday appointments will return in another week.

Wishing you a week with fewer knots and less stress,

Crystal "The Velvet Hammer"
& the Halcyon Team

Some beauty was never meant to bloom like everyone else’s.
Some of us unfold slowly, wildly, unevenly… in our own season, in our own shape, under our own strange and beautiful conditions.

There is something sacred about becoming more yourself instead of more acceptable.

What I've learned is that discomfort has a sneaky way of becoming normal when we ignore it long enough.
You adapt, compensate, and tell yourself to deal with it later. Then one day you're making strange noises every time you stand up from the couch and negotiating with your lower back like it's a hostile coworker.

See you soon,
Crystal, Valerie, Cathy & Maria

Wiggles Wednesday Wisdom:
Relaxation is the new flex.
Your nervous system called
it would like less chaos and more couch.

Kind of like these old phone booths, I’m feeling a little nostalgic for the old ways lately

But alas…..Halcyon is embracing a simpler, more spacious future where time, energy, and presence are my preferred currency.

As part of that transition, we’re moving toward digital communication and online booking.
Please book appointments online whenever possible, and contact your therapist directly for any last-minute changes or scheduling questions.

Less time chasing voicemails.
More time for actual human care and personal time.

Hello friends,

Just popping in with this week’s availability before your body starts pointing out all the different areas about to become “the problem.”

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Friday
• Valerie: 10am–1pm
• Cathy: 2pm–7pm

Saturday
• Cathy: 10am–6pm

Sunday
• Maria: 11am–3pm

Also… I’m currently enjoying my latest wellness fixation: vibroacoustic therapy.

Translation: I laid on a fancy vibrating sound mat and briefly transcended my mortal form.

The vibrations sync with music frequencies, and essentially give your nervous system a giant exhale. It feels part massage, part meditation, part “am I getting emotional over whale sounds right now?”

As someone whose body has entered its new discomfort every month era, I’ve been really interested in tools that help downshift the nervous system instead of constantly forcing my body to white-knuckle its way through stress.

That said ,not every session is designed to be deeply relaxing. Some journeys can actually feel energizing, stimulating, emotional, or mentally activating depending on the frequencies and intention behind them. I’m currently experimenting (with the help of some friends) on different programs and “journeys” so I can better tailor sessions to what each person is looking for.

SO.
The first 5 people who reply to this email OR comment on the social post will get a complimentary 15-minute vibroacoustic session added onto their massage appointment (with me) OR you can also schedule a 15-20 minute visit at a time I have available.

With love,
Crystal + the Halcyon team

Somewhere between arrivals and departures, London decided to remind me that love is still the main event.

Caught this moment inside the station like a paused heartbeat in the middle of everyone rushing somewhere else.

I love Spring in Bend
The trails are waking up, the trees are showing off, and suddenly everyone’s body remembers that it’s time to get outside.
A little sunshine, a little movement, a little bodywork… and we all get our spring back in our step.

Appointments are starting to fill again after the slower winter transition, and now we are available on weekends.
