Today marks 3 years of Exhale in Park Rapids
(and 7 years since I first started this practice).

I didn’t plan anything big for this milestone.

Instead, I’m finding myself reflecting on where this all began —
from $30 massages in my apartment after my kids went to sleep,
to farmers markets and borrowed spaces,
to what Exhale has slowly become over time.

This work has never just been about massage for me.

It’s about creating space for people to pause…
to breathe…
to come back into their bodies, even for a moment.

Especially in the world we’re living in right now — that matters more than ever.

I’m still listening for what this next year of Exhale will look like.
More community. More accessibility. More connection.

If you’ve been part of this space in any way — thank you.
You’ve shaped this more than you know.

And if you feel drawn to be part of what’s unfolding next, you’re always welcome here.

In joy,
Candace.

Okay… it’s that time of year where Minnesotans start emotionally planning summer even though it’s still 40° out 😅

Not to be dramatic, but I can already feel it calling my name.

And honestly, startlement — that feeling of being unexpectedly moved or surprised by something — feels like such a perfect word for this season. That first real lake day, the light changing, the moments that catch you off guard in the best way.

I’ll be joining Boreal Bliss Yoga Retreats for their Startlement Retreat the last weekend of May at Kona Kona Resort, right on one of the clearest lakes in Minnesota (and yes, it’s as beautiful as it sounds).

Boreal Bliss is who I completed my yoga teacher training with, and they’re also just an incredible group of women who create these retreats with so much care and intention. Getting to join them as a guest teacher and massage therapist at this incredible location is such a gift!

If you’re already dreaming about summer and craving a little reset, you can check it out 🤍
