You know that place around the back of your shoulder that always feels like it needs a little more attention?
Yep. Right there.
Working around the shoulder blade and into the lats is one of those parts of a session that just feels ridiculously good.

You hear me say it. You may even think you’re doing it. But then I lift your arm and you lift it right along with me.
Letting someone else carry the weight for a minute can be harder than it sounds. That’s part of why we’re here. This is a place where you can let your body be heavy and let gravity be your friend.

There’s a whole lot happening in the space between the ribs and pelvis.
The abdomen moves with every breath and plays an important role in how the ribs, spine and hips work together. Broad, steady fascial work here can invite more ease and connection through the center of the body.
It’s an area many people have never experienced as part of massage, but with consent and care, it can be incredibly therapeutic and grounding.

Take the breath. Drop your shoulders. Let the table hold you for a minute. You don’t have to keep doing all the work while you’re here. Give your body a chance to settle, and we’ll work with whatever it needs from there.

Turns out, having your head gently squeezed like a cantaloupe is ridiculously soothing. Moderate-to-firm pressure has been shown to reduce stress and engage the parasympathetic response, helping the whole system settle.
So yes, there is science behind the cantaloupe squeezes.

Can you believe I get to work about 10 steps away from my friend Mariana? Owner of Mariana Kvalvik | Cookeville Integrative Esthetician , who, as far as I’m concerned, is the best esthetician in the whole entire world. It makes for a very short commute when I get to be her client.
She is also the only person I trust with my eyebrows because she understands that bold is the only way.
Today was facial day, and I am now glowing, moisturized, and feeling extremely pleased with my life choices. Happiness really is a Bloom Skin & Sugar facial.

Boundaries are hard, especially when you genuinely care about people and understand that life happens.
My 24-hour cancellation policy is shared throughout the booking process and included in every emailed appointment reminder. I never charge the fee if I’m able to fill the appointment from my waitlist. You’re also welcome to send someone in your place.
I truly do everything I reasonably can to avoid charging it. But when that time can’t be filled, I don’t get paid for those hours while the rent, electric bill, business expenses and the people in my house who insist on eating carry right on. 😂
I know being charged a cancellation fee or no-show fee doesn’t feel good. Enforcing it doesn’t feel good either, but it’s a boundary I need to hold to keep my small business healthy and sustainable. That doesn’t make it easy. It’s still one of my least favorite and most anxiety-inducing parts of owning a business.

Intentional work through the back, shoulders and neck, with tools woven in along the way.
