It’s been a full year since I moved into Alchemy.
It was a big move. Scary AF honestly, because I was not in a place to be making such a big change. But, as I often do, I thought to myself: if it’s the worst possible timing, it’s probably also the best possible timing 😅😬
And I am SO grateful that I did it.

Alchemy back when it was in College Park, was the first place in Florida where I felt like I could exhale and just be myself. Unique styles, open-minded conversations overheard in passing. That was almost twenty years ago.
I can’t begin to describe how much I love being in this space now. How grateful I am to be part of this incredible group, under one roof.

I have the freedom to be me and offer services and products (plants!) that I had never even imagined before. My ADHD brain is running wild and feral, just the way I like it.

From the plants that get loved and shared, to the farm-fresh eggs, the loose-leaf chamomile, the DIY encouragement, the creativity that seems unimaginable.

Alchemy has given me room to grow in ways I didn’t expect. Teaching not just group exercise classes, but also body care and self healing. Curating plants and lifestyle goods, building out a little corner of the Lair that’s entirely its own. (PS… community class is back on Wednesday mornings at 9:30! Signup online, and come move your body. Link in bio)

The opportunity to say yes to feeling alive, even when it terrifies me… like swimming in bioluminescence at night in the middle of the ocean. (IYKYK.) 🌊

Thanks again to Baba for one of the highlights of this year’s satogaeri, a visit to Japan’s National Diet Building (House of Representatives). We had lunch in the cafeteria alongside a group of middle schoolers on a field trip, and even got a moment with the Minister of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology.

I shared my concern for Japan’s countryside, the quiet erosion happening in regions left behind. It’s not his portfolio, but being heard mattered. 👁️👁️

ババのおかげで、今年の里帰りで忘れられないハイライトの一つができました。国会議事堂(衆議院)を訪れました。修学旅行中の中学生たちと一緒に食堂でお昼をいただき、文部科学大臣ともお話しする機会をいただきました。
日本の地方見過ごされ、静かに衰退している地域への想いをお伝えしました。彼の管轄ではないことは承知していますが、届いたと感じられたことが嬉しかったです。👁️👁️

Don’t let your training flat line. 👁️👁️
A flat line isn’t rest, it’s a stall. No signal, no growth, no change.
Intentional Kinetics and Body Care sessions aren’t here to replace your training. They’re here to add a pulse back into it. A boost, not a substitute.
If you’ve hit a plateau, it’s often not about working harder. It’s about working differently; waking up the muscles your usual routine skips, and rebuilding the mind-body connection that gets lost on autopilot.

📍 Intentional Kinetics: Saturday @ 10am | $30 /75 min
📍 BodyCare/Foam Rolling: Monday @ 1pm | $30 /60 min

Challenge the muscles you don’t train. Challenge the perspective you don’t question. Keep the line moving.
No equipment or shoes necessary, I got you!
Register online. Link in bio. See you in the Lair.
(Located in the northeast corner of Alchemy Hair Salon on Bumby Ave)

I've been thinking about the word "wellness."

Most of my clients tell me the same thing: "this isn't massage." They mean it as a compliment. They also mean it's intense.

They're right on both counts. I'm not just working soft tissue, I'm reading the whole body. Emotion, movement, nourishment, all of it together. And every session comes with education: what's happening in your body, and how to manage it yourself between visits.

I’m not a medical provider, and I don’t diagnose or prescribe. But, I’m a licensed practitioner under the Department of Health. And, I spend my days with both my hands on bodies. This builds a fluency in the patterns the human body shows. When something comes up, I can point to what I’m seeing and suggest how I’d approach it.

Massage does real, measurable work: moving lymphatic fluid, releasing fascia, restoring mobility, calming the nervous system. That overlap with medical care is real, which is exactly why “wellness” is the right word for what I do. Wellness includes health. It doesn’t replace it.

That's why I carry the tools I do; okyuu, pippu elekiban, bath soaks, herbs, jojoba oil. Self-care doesn't end when you leave the lair.

Join me when you’re ready to be seen, heard and challenged.
New thirty minute sessions for existing clients starting this fall!

I tried the AI robot massage. 🤖

Full transparency: I went in terrified. Visions of the being trapped and smushed to death. (Yes, I’m also that person who is reluctant to get in a Waymo.) But I believe in staying curious about where this technology is headed, so I went open-minded.

The verdict: I left feeling good. Mostly about job security.

To be clear no shade to this place. The facility was gorgeous, spotless, genuinely well designed. The concept is smart. But the robot “scanning” my body and mapping pressure points? It felt about the same as the massage chair at the nail salon. Familiar, but mechanical. Missing the thing that makes bodywork actually work. A nervous system responding to another nervous system.

Because that’s the part AI can’t scan for. Palpation isn’t just pressure, it’s listening. It’s a hand pausing on a spot before you’ve even said it’s tender, adjusting in real time to your breath, your guarding, your exhale. That’s years of trained intuition, not an algorithm.

What I did love: the lymphatic draining compression suit. So relaxing. And they had a hyperbaric chamber + auto-roller station too, for anyone stacking recovery modalities.

AI has a place in wellness. Recovery tech, tracking, compression, heat. I’m here for all of it as a complement.

But the Lair isn’t going anywhere. Human hands still know things machines don’t. 👁️👁️ for now, anyways
