Before the month is over, I would like to acknowledge that September is National Su***de Awareness and Prevention Month. 💙 🤍

Bringing awareness to su***de, recognizing the growing need for mental health support, and reminding people that they are not alone are things that are deeply important to me.

In the months of August and September su***de has struck my family and friends more than once, and in more ways than one. It has been a painful reminder that when a life is lost to su***de, it is never just one life that is affected. The loss reaches into the lives of parents, children, siblings, partners, friends, and so many others who are left behind to navigate a world that suddenly feels different.
The people left behind don't simply forget. They wake up every day carrying the memory of that person, remembering the day, the moment, the conversations, the questions, and the things they wish they could have changed. Over time, the pain may become quieter. It may even begin to feel numb at times. But that doesn't mean the loss isn't still there. We simply learn how to carry something we never wanted to carry in the first place.

I think that's why connection matters so much.
Checking in. Having the hard conversations. Making time for the people we love. Giving ourselves permission to rest. Taking care of our bodies and our minds. And remembering that self-care isn't something we have to earn—it is something we deserve, especially when life feels heavy.

In support of those who are carrying mental health burdens, I will be opening my schedule for a PAY WHAT YOU CAN Massage Therapy Event. 🤍
I will have 5 spots available each day for a 60-minute Restoration Session:
📅 Sunday, October 4th
⏰ 10 AM – 7 PM
📅 Thursday, October 8th
⏰ 10 AM – 7 PM
📅 Sunday, October 11th
⏰ 10 AM – 7 PM
If you are someone who could use some intentional time to breathe, rest, release, and reconnect with yourself but don't have room in your budget for massage right now, I want you to reach out.

And if you know someone who could use some care but may not be able to afford it right now, please share this with them. You never know what someone may be carrying quietly.
There is no judgment and no expectation. Just a space to pause, receive some care, and give yourself permission to be restored.
Let's keep checking on our people.
Let's keep having the conversations.
Let's stay connected.
And let's remember that sometimes taking care of ourselves is part of finding our way through the things that hurt.
You don't have to carry everything alone. 🤍

My time at the Rose Barn and in Iowa will be coming to an end soon 😭💞

I will be leaving the Rose Barn this September and making my move to Houston . 🥳😬 I am both nervous and excited for this transition and new chapter in my life. I plan to have my booking site open until the very day that I leave. I would like to spend as much time as possible with everyone before going.

While life is leading me towards new journeys and new experiences, I am grateful to reflect on the time I have spent here! I think nothing will top the community and family I have been blessed with in Iowa!! Iowa has been my safe space and home away from home for 12 years now.

Often they say your biggest support may come from complete strangers and Iowa has truly made me feel that! Thank you to everyone who has interacted with me along this journey! Thank you for being apart of my healing while allowing me to be a part of yours! 💕💕 Thank you for all the genuine love and support. Thank you for the laughter and unforgettable memories. Thank you for seeing me, and thank you for making Sacred Hiatus everything it is and everything it will become.

I especially would like to thank Sonya Terrell LaGrange and Sadie Lagrange for the intentional space you have made of The Rose Barn. You have done an amazing job at making that space welcoming and comfortable enough for businesses to thrive. The Rose barn has been more than a work space to me. It has been my space for energetic alignment, prayer, recovery, reflection, prayer, safety , peace and yes I meant to say prayer twice— and not to forget the amazing establishments and buisness owners I got to work alongside. I actually can’t express my gratitude enough!!

If anyone has any questions or just would like to share thoughts feel free to call or text me (319)-535-2868 🤗💕💕
