MEET FRANKIE

Let’s be honest… most people don’t get excited about waxing.
They brace for it. Overthink it. Put it off.

That’s exactly why Frankie is different.

From the moment you walk into her room, it feels less like an appointment… and more like catching up with a friend who just happens to be really, really good at what she does.

No awkward energy. No pressure. No judgment.

Just someone who understands that maybe you’ve had a bad experience before… or maybe it’s your first time and you don’t know what to expect.

Frankie brings over four years of experience, with a focus on what actually matters …

Clean results …

Less discomfort …

Skin that feels good after, not stressed out.

At Twisted Shamrock, we do things differently. Good music. Real conversations. A space where you can actually relax… even during a wax.

If you’ve been putting this off… this is your sign to try it the right way.

Book with Frankie today
Call or text 484-574-8868
Or book online at twistedshamrockstudiospa.com

Follow along to learn more, ask questions, and feel more confident before you even step in the room.

Smooth skin. Easy energy. Just how it should be.

SELF CARE & RAIN STORMS …

Today I came home, looked at the rain, and for once didn’t run from it.

When I was a kid, a warm summer rainstorm was an invitation. I’d splash through puddles, get completely soaked, and stay outside until my heart was content. Then somewhere along the way, I became an adult… and rain turned into something to avoid.

Because adult things.

So today I decided to do something different.
I stepped back in time.

I stomped through a puddle or two. Then I sat down right there on my soaked driveway, leaned against my car, closed my eyes, and let the warm rain fall.

For a few minutes, I stopped carrying the day.
I let go of the stress, the schedules, the responsibilities, the endless to-do lists. I sat in what was meant to wash away and remembered what it felt like to be a kid who didn’t care about anything except the joy of the moment.

And you know what?

I liked it.

A lot.

Maybe self-care isn’t always a massage, a meditation, or checking something off a wellness list. Maybe sometimes it’s giving yourself permission to be a little ridiculous, get soaked and play, and remember who you were before the world convinced you to avoid being a kid even as an adult.

This was balance.

This was self-love.

And despite being a fully functioning adult, I can confidently say there will be more puddle-stomping in my future.

So here’s my challenge for you…

Do one thing this week that reconnects you to the version of yourself that existed before life got so serious. Dance in the kitchen. Ride a bike. Draw with sidewalk chalk. Watch fireflies. Jump in a puddle. Sit in the rain. Do something that makes absolutely no sense to anyone else but brings a smile to your face.

Sometimes healing isn’t about adding more to your plate. Sometimes it’s about remembering what made your heart feel light in the first place.
Take care of yourself. The world will still be there when you come back from playing for a little while. ❤️🌧️

🚨 Boss on the Loose Alert 🚨

If you’re looking for Kristin today, don’t check the treatment rooms… check the sidelines.

The boss is spending the day at Chase Fieldhouse in Wilmington for a business and networking event, making connections and laying the groundwork for the upcoming basketball season.

Because around here, recovery doesn’t stop at the spa. Our Retro Recovery Rebels are always looking for new ways to interact with the communities around us and also help athletes, teams, and organizations stay moving, feeling better, and performing at their best.

One day we’re in Chadds Ford. The next we’re at a wrestling arena. Today it’s a basketball facility.

Honestly, at this point, you never quite know where the Retro Recovery Rebels will pop up next. 😎

Stay tuned… basketball season is coming.

🐾 And just like that... another Ruff Ride is in the books!🐾

For the past 24 hours, we've had the incredible privilege of supporting the riders, volunteers, and Team Foster family at Ruff Ride Philly 2026.

While most of us were dreaming about our pillows, Cliff held down the overnight shift, helping riders keep moving through the toughest hours of the event. And this morning, Alicia jumped right back in to help close things out, making sure riders crossed the finish line with a little less soreness and a lot more mobility.

Watching these athletes pedal through the day, through the night, and into the next morning is always inspiring. But what makes this event truly special is the mission behind every mile ridden: helping provide life-changing service dogs to injured and disabled Veterans.

We are incredibly honored and grateful to play even a small role in that mission.

A huge thank you to Team Foster for welcoming us back for our fourth year. The community you've built is something truly special, and we're proud to be part of it.

Now if you'll excuse us, we may need a little massage and stretch therapy ourselves. 😆

We're already looking forward to next year when we'll celebrate FIVE YEARS of supporting Team Foster and Ruff Ride Philly.

Until then... thank you to every rider, volunteer, donor, supporter, and furry friend who made this weekend unforgettable. 💚🐾

WE’RE HERE … RUFF RIDE PHILLY 2026!

The tables are set, the lotion is ready, the stretch straps are standing by, and in less than an hour we’ll kick off our 4th year supporting Team Foster at Ruff Ride Philly 2026!

Of course we’ve already been exploring the legendary 2300 Arena … because let’s be honest, when is the boss getting this chance again? 😂

And while wandering around, we spotted Hardcore Hall of Fame… banner with a friend’s name on it …

👋 HI MISSY SAMPSON!

Now it’s almost time to get to work helping riders survive the next 24 hours of fundraising for an incredible cause. Let’s do this! 🚴‍♂️🐾🇺🇸

RUFF RIDE PHILLY 2026 STATUS UPDATE:
WE’RE PACKED!

The tables are folded.
The massage gear is loaded.
The wellness and specialty retail is packed.
The spa sign made the cut …

And somehow we still managed to bring enough stuff to look like we’re moving into the 2300 Arena permanently. 🤣

Tomorrow morning we hit the road for our FOURTH year supporting Team Foster at Ruff Ride Philadelphia 2026!

Over the next 24 hours we’ll be providing complimentary massage and stretch therapy to help riders keep pedaling through one incredible day and night of fundraising in support of service dogs for injured and disabled Veterans.

And yes… we (basically me) are still not over the fact that this year’s event is taking place at the legendary 2300 Arena!

My inner wrestling fan is trying very hard to remain professional right now. 😆

We are excited.
We are grateful.
We are caffeinated.
And we’re ready to roll.

See you tomorrow, Philly! 💚🚴‍♂️🐾

WE’RE HEADING BACK TO RUFF RIDE! 🚴💚

In just over 24 hours, the Twisted Shamrock Studios & Spa crew will be loading up the tables, stretching straps, massage lotion, snacks, caffeine, and probably a completely unreasonable amount of enthusiasm as we head to our FOURTH year supporting Team Foster at Ruff Ride Philadelphia!

This event has become one of our favorite weekends of the year. For 24 straight hours, riders push themselves physically and mentally while raising funds to help Team Foster provide accredited, life-saving service dogs to injured and disabled Veterans. The energy is incredible, the mission is inspiring, and the people involved are some of the best you’ll ever meet.

This year is extra special because Ruff Ride is moving to the legendary 2300 Arena.

(Now… if you’ve known me for more than five minutes, you know my inner professional wrestling fan is absolutely screaming right now. 🤣)

The same building that hosted some of the most iconic moments in wrestling history is about to be filled with riders, supporters, Veterans, service dog advocates, and one very excited spa owner trying to remain professional while resisting the urge to cut a wrestling promo.

We’ll be doing what we love most … providing complimentary massage and assisted stretch therapy to help keep riders moving through all 24 hours of this incredible event.

To Team Foster: thank you for allowing us to be part of this mission for the fourth year in a row.

To the riders: we can’t wait to cheer you on, patch you up, stretch you out, and help keep those legs moving.

See you at the Arena …

Well friends... after a lot of coffee, troubleshooting, head scratching, and a few colorful conversations with technology, we have decided to return to Vagaro for our online booking system.

We know the transition to Mindbody created some confusion and frustration, and for that we sincerely apologize. While we were excited about the change, it ultimately wasn't the best fit for our spa or, more importantly, for our amazing clients.

The good news? We are officially back on Vagaro, and all booking links have been updated on our website, social media pages, Google Business Profile, and Yelp.

We truly appreciate your patience, understanding, and grace while we worked through this unexpected detour. Running a small business sometimes means trying new things, and occasionally realizing the original way was the right choice all along.

If you have any questions, need help booking, or notice anything that doesn't look quite right, please don't hesitate to call us at 484-574-8868. Our team is happy to help.

Thank you for sticking with us through the adventure. We promise the only twists we want you experiencing are the ones that happen during your stretch sessions.

Thank you so much, Pagan Poetry!

We absolutely love having you at Twisted Shamrock Studios & Spa. Every class you bring into our space creates such a unique experience for our community, and last night’s Lunar Magic class was no exception.

One of our favorite things about Twisted Shamrock has always been creating a place where people can explore wellness in ways that feel authentic to them. Whether that’s massage, skincare, stretch therapy, sound meditation, energy work, herbal wellness, or learning how to reconnect with themselves through practices like lunar living, we love bringing amazing educators and practitioners together under one roof.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge, your passion, and your energy with everyone who joined us. We are grateful for our partnership and excited for all the incredible things still to come.

And to everyone who attended, thank you for spending your evening with us. Your support of our small business, our classes, and our local wellness community means more than you know.

If you missed this one, don’t worry. We have more exciting classes, workshops, and events on the horizon, including our upcoming 4th Birthday Celebration and some very exciting new collections and services that we’ll be announcing soon.

Last night I returned to Twisted Shamrock Studios & Spa in Chadds Ford, PA for a class on Lunar Magic!

This class is designed to help you understand the energetic flow of lunar practice and how to intentionally connect with it to create a spiritually aligned framework for your path and practice.

It’s always such a good time getting to spend time with our friends out in Delaware County! If you haven’t checked this space out yet, I highly recommend making an appointment and experiencing it for yourself.

As always, a big thank you to Twisted Shamrock and their staff for always being so amazing and welcoming every time I come!

And if you missed this class in person? The online version will be available VERY soon!

Head over to the website and see what’s already up and all of my upcoming in person offerings too!

SHOWING UP FOR YOURSELF … ADVOCATING & HONESTY

Today I'm going to share something that feels uncomfortable to talk about.

Not because I want sympathy.

Not because I have all the answers.

But because I know there are people quietly struggling who may need to hear they aren't alone.

If you've followed me for any length of time, you know I spend most of my days helping other people feel better. It's what I love. It's what I've built my life and business around.

What you may not know is that I've often struggled to give that same care to myself.

Like so many women, I've spent years putting myself at the bottom of the list.

"I'll focus on me when things slow down."

"I'll start Monday."

"I'll get back on track next week."

Sound familiar?

The truth is, I've spent years pushing through stress, exhaustion, symptoms, and wellness struggles while telling myself I was fine.

Until my body decided it had something different to say.

Lately, I've been experiencing significant inflammation flare-ups that have affected nearly every part of me. The swelling. The pain. The fatigue. The frustration of waking up and not feeling like yourself.

And if I'm being honest, one of the hardest parts has been what it does to you emotionally.

It's hard to show up confidently when you don't feel confident.

It's hard to be in photos, on social media, on television, and in front of a camera when you're uncomfortable in your own skin.

As I continue searching for answers, I'm beginning to understand that an autoimmune condition may have been influencing my health for much longer than I realized.

That possibility is scary.

But it's also forcing me to finally listen to what my body has been trying to tell me for years.

If there's one thing I hope you take away from this, it's this:

Please advocate for yourself.

Don't ignore the symptoms.

Don't keep putting off the appointment.

Don't convince yourself that everyone else's needs matter more than your own.

You deserve answers.

You deserve support.

You deserve to feel good in your own body.

I'm still figuring this out too. But one thing I know for certain is that our bodies eventually ask us to pay attention to everything we've been pushing aside.

I'm finally listening.

Maybe it's time you do too.

Thank you as always for allowing me to share … and hoping it helps …

-Kristin
