🌿 Invest in Your Wellness with a Massage Series 🌿

As we move through the busy summer season and start looking ahead to fall, one of the best gifts you can give yourself—or someone you love—is the gift of consistent self-care.

✨ Massage Series Available

Choose a series of:

• 3 Sessions
• 6 Sessions
• 10 Sessions

Available in:

• 60 Minutes
• 90 Minutes
• 120 Minutes

A massage series is perfect for:

🎁 Baby Shower Gifts
🎁 Father’s Day Gifts
🎁 Birthday Gifts
🎁 Anniversary Gifts
🎁 Holiday Gifts
🎁 Someone navigating a stressful season of life
🎁 Yourself—because preventative wellness is always a worthwhile investment

Unlike a membership, a series gives you more flexibility and control. Your massage credits are placed directly on your account and can be used whenever you’re ready.

✔ No monthly commitment
✔ Credits remain available until used
✔ Schedule appointments when it works best for you
✔ Encourages regular wellness without feeling locked into a program

Life gets busy. Kids get sick. Work schedules change. Vacations happen. Your series is there waiting for you when you’re ready to continue your wellness journey.

Many clients love purchasing a series for their foundational massage appointments and then customizing each visit with:

✨ Aromatherapy
✨ Hot Stones
✨ Rosemary Scalp Treatments
✨ Magnesium Enhancements
✨ Cupping
✨ Gua Sha
✨ Manual Lymphatic Drainage
✨ Seasonal Rituals & Body Treatments
✨ Additional Massage Time

Consistent massage care often provides the greatest benefits. A series allows you to prioritize your health while creating a plan that works with your schedule and your goals.

As we finish out summer and begin thinking about fall routines, sports seasons, school schedules, travel, and holiday planning, now is a wonderful time to invest in your long-term wellness.

🌿 The Grantsville Clinic: Where Consistent Care Meets Lasting Results 🌿

While many of you have been seeing the beautiful photos of our Deep Creek location, I wanted to take a moment to highlight the heart of my practice—my Grantsville clinic.

Nestled here on the farm, this space was designed with a different purpose in mind.

The Grantsville location is ideal for clients who view massage not as an occasional luxury, but as an important part of their overall wellness plan.

Whether you’re managing:
✔ Chronic pain
✔ Headaches and TMJ issues
✔ Stress and nervous system dysregulation
✔ Limited mobility
✔ Athletic recovery
✔ Desk-job tension
✔ The physical demands of work, parenting, farming, construction, healthcare, or everyday life

This is where we build long-term treatment relationships and work toward meaningful, lasting change.

The clinic offers a more clinical setting while still maintaining the warmth, comfort, and thoughtful touches that Mother Maiden Crone is known for. From the handcrafted apothecary shelves to the welcoming treatment room, you’ll find the same high-quality care and attention to detail—just with a stronger focus on ongoing therapeutic work and wellness maintenance.

Massage works best when it’s consistent.

One session can provide relief.
A regular massage schedule can help create lasting improvements in how you move, feel, recover, and manage stress.

📅 Current online availability is primarily Tuesdays and Wednesdays at the Grantsville location.

However, if you don’t see a day or time that works for you, please reach out. Appointments outside of those days are sometimes available depending on my schedule.

✨ Don’t see what you need online?
📲 Send me a message, text, or call.

Let’s figure it out.

I do my best to accommodate clients whenever possible, especially those committed to making massage a regular part of their wellness routine.

✨ Clinical care.
✨ Personalized treatment plans.
✨ Spa-level comfort.
✨ Backwoods care.

If you’ve been thinking about making massage a regular part of your health and wellness plan, now is a great time to get established before summer schedules fill.

I would be honored to be part of your wellness journey.



🌿 The photos featured here showcase the Grantsville clinic, apothecary, and treatment space where many of my long-term clients receive ongoing care, wellness support, and personalized treatment plans designed to help them feel their best year-round. 💛

🌿 Why the Oils I Use Matter 🌿

When you book a massage with me, you’re not just receiving bodywork—you’re experiencing products that I have carefully chosen and personally trust.

One of the companies I love sourcing from is Appalachian Valley Natural Products (AVNP)⁠, right here in Friendsville, Maryland. As a local small business, AVNP has built a reputation for providing high-quality essential oils, carrier oils, and aromatherapy products while maintaining a commitment to purity and quality testing.

For me, choosing quality isn’t just about fragrance—it’s about the entire experience.

✨ High-quality oils provide a more authentic aromatherapy experience.

✨ Purity matters when products are being applied to the skin.

✨ Supporting local businesses strengthens our mountain community.

✨ I believe every detail of a massage should contribute to the overall therapeutic experience.

Whether I’m incorporating lavender to encourage relaxation, peppermint for an invigorating boost, rosemary for scalp treatments, or creating customized aromatherapy blends, I want to feel confident in what I’m using on my clients. That’s why I take the time to hand-select products rather than simply purchasing the cheapest option available.

As a massage therapist, my goal is to create treatments that are thoughtful, intentional, and personalized—from the techniques I use to the oils and products I choose.

Thank you for supporting a small business that believes quality matters. 💚

🌿 The Science of Human Touch 🌿

Did you know that massage therapy isn’t just about muscles?

Emerging research suggests that therapeutic touch plays an important role in how we experience safety, connection, trust, and healing.

A 2022 paper published in Frontiers in Behavioral Neuroscience explored how therapeutic touch helps build what researchers call a “therapeutic alliance”—the trusting relationship between a healthcare provider and client. The authors suggest that supportive touch can foster communication, empathy, nervous system regulation, and positive health outcomes. (Frontiers⁠)

Another peer-reviewed paper, A Unitary Theory of Healing Through Touch (2023), examined how touch contributes to healing through connection, presence, awareness, and a sense of sanctuary. The researchers found that healing through touch is a dynamic process co-created between practitioner and client, involving sensing, reflecting, and connecting. (PubMed⁠)

What does this mean in everyday life?

It means that massage therapy can be about much more than easing tight muscles.

For many people—including women, caregivers, members of the LGBTQ+ community, trauma survivors, people living with chronic stress, and others who may feel unseen or unsupported—safe, respectful touch can provide:

✨ A sense of safety
✨ Nervous system regulation
✨ Human connection
✨ Stress relief
✨ Space to reconnect with the body
✨ Feeling heard and cared for

As bodyworkers, we often witness that healing happens not only through technique, but through presence, compassion, consent, and creating a space where people feel safe enough to simply be themselves.

At Mother Maiden Crone, I believe every person deserves access to respectful, individualized care. Every body has a story, and every person deserves to feel welcome in a healing space.

✨ New Goodies Are Hitting the Shelves! ✨

Today is one of those behind-the-scenes days—labeling products, stocking shelves, and getting ready for another busy season at Mother Maiden Crone Apothecary & Bodywork Shop.

Fresh batches of soaps, candles, rosemary mint botanical mist, and other handcrafted favorites are making their way into both our Grantsville and Deep Creek locations. 🌿

It has been so exciting to see how much everyone has been enjoying the apothecary offerings lately. Some products have become repeat customer favorites, and a few shelves have needed refilling more than once! Thank you for supporting this little dream and all the local makers whose products help fill these spaces.

The next time you’re in for a massage, take a few extra moments to browse the apothecary. You might discover a new favorite self-care item to take home with you. 🕯️🧼✨

And for those of you who love botanical self-care products… keep an eye out. 👀🌿✨

Something new is quietly taking shape behind the scenes. The upcoming Ritual Waters Collection is in development and will feature handcrafted botanical mists and nature-inspired self-care products designed to bring a little bit of the mountains, forests, and waters of Appalachia into your daily rituals. More details coming soon!

The sunshine has been beautiful, but with rain in the forecast this week, it’s the perfect excuse to slow down, take a deep breath, and schedule some time for yourself. A few massage appointments are still available.

📅 Book online anytime:
www.mothermaidencronebodywork.com

As always, if you don’t see a time that works for you, send me a message or give me a call. I can often work a little scheduling magic. 💚

Wishing you a peaceful week filled with moments of rest, sunshine, and self-care.

🌈 Pride Month Education Series 🌈

Throughout the month of June, I’ll be sharing articles and educational resources that explore inclusivity, healthcare access, and creating safe spaces within the wellness and bodywork professions.

Today’s article, “Not Trendy, Just Timely,” from ABMP (Associated Bodywork & Massage Professionals), discusses working with transgender and gender-diverse clients in a respectful, individualized, and client-centered way.

http://d10-web-app.abmp.com/updates/blog-posts/not-trendy-just-timely

One of the things I love most about massage therapy is that every body tells a different story. As therapists, our role is not to judge, assume, or define someone’s experience. Our role is to listen, provide compassionate care, and create a space where people feel safe, respected, and supported.

Research continues to show that many LGBTQ+ individuals have experienced barriers to healthcare and may delay seeking care due to previous negative experiences. Small acts of respect, clear communication, informed consent, and inclusive practices can make a meaningful difference in a person’s healthcare journey.

At Mother Maiden Crone, I believe healing spaces should be welcoming to all people and all bodies. Whether you come seeking pain relief, relaxation, nervous system support, recovery, or simply a moment to breathe, you deserve to be treated with dignity, respect, and compassion.

I encourage you to take a few moments to read today’s article and join me in continuing to learn, grow, and support one another.

❤️ Every body is worthy of care.
🧡 Every person deserves respect.
💛 Healing happens best when people feel safe.

A couple years ago, I got a call from a massage therapist who had a very special transgender client who’d educated him about how important massage therapy was to his surgical recovery and self-esteem.

🌿 Arnica: A Little Herbal Magic for Sore Muscles 🌿

One of the ways I customize massage sessions at Mother Maiden Crone Apothecary & Bodywork Shop is by incorporating complementary products that support your unique goals. One client may benefit from stretching and cupping, another from magnesium lotion, CBD, or one of my favorite herbal options—Arnica Muscle Cream from Soaps & Beyond.

✨ What is Arnica?
Arnica (Arnica montana) is a flowering herb that has been used for centuries as a traditional herbal remedy for:

• Muscle soreness and fatigue
• Minor aches and pains
• Bruising and tenderness
• Post-exercise recovery
• General muscle discomfort

When applied topically, Arnica is often used to help support the body’s natural recovery process while creating a soothing, comforting experience.

💛 A Wonderful CBD Alternative
Not everyone prefers CBD products, and that’s perfectly okay. Arnica Muscle Cream offers another option for those looking for a plant-based enhancement to their massage experience without using CBD.

🌙 Massage Should Never Be One-Size-Fits-All
One of my favorite parts of being a therapist is thinking outside the box. Every body is different, every pain pattern is different, and every session should reflect that. Whether we’re incorporating Arnica, magnesium, hot stones, cupping, stretching, Gua Sha, aromatherapy, CBD, or other therapeutic tools, my goal is always to create a session tailored specifically to you.

Because true therapeutic massage isn’t just about relaxation—it’s about listening, adapting, and creating the right experience for each individual client.

🪴 Love it? Take it home with you!
The Arnica Muscle Cream used in my sessions is also available for purchase in the Apothecary, allowing you to continue your self-care routine between appointments. I carefully select products that I personally enjoy using in treatments so clients can bring a little piece of the massage experience home.

📅 June availability is already becoming very limited!
I currently have just three appointments available next week:
✨ 11:00 AM
✨ 12:30 PM
✨ 3:45 PM

If you’ve been thinking about scheduling, now is a great time to reserve your spot and experience a session customized just for you.

And remember—if you don’t see a time that works for your schedule, reach out. Sometimes I can work a little magic. ✨
