As the Snowbirds Fly South…

Autumn makes room for those rooted here.

After a wonderfully full spring and summer, with appointments consistently booking 4–6 weeks in advance, I’m delighted to share that Crocus & Slate is once again welcoming new clients beginning in November!

As many of my beloved seasonal clients prepare to fly south for the winter, their departure creates a little more space in my schedule for those who remain rooted here in the Blue Ridge Mountains year-round.

Whether you’ve called these mountains home for generations or have simply found your home among them, I’d love to welcome you.

If you’ve been hoping to schedule a session but haven’t been able to find an opening, perhaps the changing seasons are making room for you, too.

To everyone who has helped Crocus & Slate grow through its very first spring and summer, thank you for your continued trust, support, and heartfelt recommendations.

Here’s to the gentle rhythm of the seasons, the beauty of new beginnings, and making space for those rooted here. 🍁

Now accepting new clients for November and beyond! 🍂

A little glimpse of what’s been growing at Crocus & Slate 🌿

I realized recently that I’ve been awfully quiet here. The last time I posted, I was opening my September calendar—and then I promptly disappeared back into the treatment room. 😌

It has been such a joy to watch this little practice grow over the past few months. My calendar has stayed wonderfully full, and somewhere between sessions, Crocus & Slate has continued growing right along with it.

Little by little, the space has become softer, warmer, greener, and more us—cozy places to land, tea and water waiting for you, a little spot outside beneath the ferns, and all of the tiny details that make a space feel cared for.

And lately, I’ve had the joy of sharing it with a practitioner whose presence brings even more warmth to these rooms. 🤍

As we move into fall, I’m beginning to create a little more space in my schedule too—more room for new and returning clients, more time for the modalities and offerings I’ve been wanting to return to, and a little more breathing room for whatever Crocus & Slate wants to become next.

I’m so grateful to everyone who has walked through these doors, trusted me with their care, recommended me to a friend, or patiently waited for an appointment.

I built this place hoping it would feel like somewhere you could exhale.

It finally feels like it. 🌿

Somehow, Summer is already beginning to wind its way toward Fall. 🌿

August at Crocus & Slate is now fully booked, and I am feeling incredibly grateful for another beautiful month of familiar faces, new clients, and this little practice continuing to grow.

I’m now looking ahead to September and beginning to fill my fall calendar.

September appointments are available Mondays + Tuesdays at 9am, 11am & 1pm.

If you’ve been thinking about coming in—or if it’s time to get your next session on the calendar—now is a lovely time to reach out. 🩵

Many of us are living in a chronic state of stress, where our nervous systems never fully switch off. Even while lying quietly on the massage table, fully supported, our muscles can remain guarded—bracing without us even realizing it.

So often we’re taught that if a muscle is tight, the answer is simply more pressure.

But the body doesn’t always respond well to Deep Tissue alone

Deep pressure isn’t always the answer. Sometimes it simply gives the nervous system another reason to hold on.

I think of cupping as a gentle back-door approach.

Rather than trying to force a muscle to release, the cups hug, hold, and support the tissue. It’s almost as though they’re whispering to the nervous system,

“It’s okay. You can let go now. You’re safe.”

And so often…the body does.

The muscle softens.
The tension releases.
The tissue becomes supple.
The nervous system settles.

Sometimes healing doesn’t come from pushing harder.

Sometimes it comes from finally feeling safe enough to let go.

🌿 I have two appointments remaining at the end of July and am now booking for August.

I’d love to welcome you to Crocus & Slate 🌼🪨

🌼 The sign is finally here. 🌼

After months of dreaming, designing, revising, tweaking colors, softening mountains, and bringing a vision to life, the Crocus & Slate roadside sign has officially arrived. ⛰️

It’s a small thing, perhaps, but it feels like a meaningful milestone. 🌼🪨

What began as an idea 💡is becoming something tangible—one client, one session, one conversation, one step at a time. 💛

Thank you to everyone who has trusted me with your care, shared a kind word, referred a friend, left a review, or simply cheered me on. Your support has helped make this possible. ☺️🙏🏽

Now all that’s left is to hang it. 💙

A heartfelt thank you to this community.

What began as a quiet opening has quickly become something beautiful.

Over the past few weeks, Crocus & Slate has grown through your recommendations, returning clients, and word of mouth. I am deeply grateful for the trust you’ve placed in me and honored to be part of so many healing journeys.

The first half of June is now nearly full, and only a handful of appointments remain later in the month.

If you’ve been considering a session, Mondays and Tuesdays currently have limited availability.

Thank you for helping this little dream take root. 🌿
