🌿Enhance your physical, mental & emotional well-being with our expert care.

This time of year often brings a slower pace in the clinic as schedules shift, vacations begin, and routines change.

While things may be a little quieter, it’s also the perfect opportunity to take care of yourself. šŸ¤

If you’ve been putting off booking a massage, managing tension, or simply feeling like your body needs some extra attention — we have openings available this summer.

Give yourself permission to slow down, reset, and prioritize your well-being. 🌿

Book your appointment and take some time for you.

šŸ“… Fully booked doesn’t always mean unavailable.

Appointments open up all the time due to schedule changes and cancellations. If you’re hoping to get in sooner, our waitlist is the best tool to use.

āœ… Last-minute cancellations
āœ… Schedule adjustments
āœ… Additional clinic hours

These openings are often filled by clients on the waitlist first.

If you don’t see a time that works for you, add yourself to the waitlist and let the system do the work for you.

Your ideal appointment time may become available sooner than you think! ✨

I’ve been getting a lot of questions about my upcoming mat leave, so I wanted to share a quick update!

Yes — Essential Hideaway will remain open while I’m away. I’ve hired several talented Registered Massage Therapists who will continue providing the quality care you’ve come to expect. Each therapist brings their own unique style and approach, and I truly believe there’s someone here for everyone.

While I’ll be stepping away from treating clients, I’ll still be working behind the scenes managing the clinic, supporting our therapists, handling payroll, and helping ensure everything runs as smoothly as possible. At the same time, I’ll be putting my trust in my incredible team to keep things running on the front end.

One of the things I’m most proud of is creating a business that can continue to thrive during this season of life. From the beginning, I built Essential Hideaway with the vision of being able to step away from physically treating clients one day while still generating an income to support my family. As I prepare to become a mom, I’m incredibly grateful that vision is becoming a reality.

Each therapist manages their own clients, and we’ve put systems in place to make booking and communication as seamless as possible.

Thank you for your continued support, trust, and encouragement as my family prepares to welcome our newest little addition. ā¤ļø The clinic is in great hands, and I look forward to reconnecting with everyone when I return—whenever that may be. At this point, I’m still giving myself the space to see what that transition back to work will look like long-term.

In the meantime, I will continue treating clients until the end of July. If you’d like to see me before I head off on mat leave, be sure to join my waitlist and I’ll do my best to fit you in if appointments become available.

Money can’t buy happiness… but I don’t remember ever being sad after a massage. šŸ¤āœØ

Less stress. Less tension. Better sleep. A calmer nervous system.
Sounds pretty close to happiness to us. šŸ˜‰

Maybe.
Or maybe I’m finally learning that rest is productive too. ā˜€ļø

I’ve taken this past week away from treatments and will officially be back in the clinic June 2 — although if you know me, you know I’ll probably still pop in here and there before then. Like today… šŸ˜…

One of the things I’m most grateful for is the flexibility I’ve built into this life and this clinic. The ability to step back when I need to, and also step in when I want to, on my own terms.

That doesn’t mean it’s easy.

I still feel guilty taking time off.
I still think about squeezing in ā€œjust a few clients.ā€
And I’m still trying to figure out how to balance being present for my clients, my business, my home life, and myself.

Because honestly… I’ve been really burnt out lately. To the point where I was starting to dread going into work, which is hard to admit when you care so deeply about what you do.

But I’ve realized I actually enjoy coming in when it’s because I want to — not because I feel like I have to.

And the reality of being self-employed is that even when I’m ā€œoff,ā€ I’m usually still working behind the scenes somehow — payroll, content, planning, website updates, clinic growth. It never fully stops, it just shifts.

I have a feeling maternity leave might look a little bit like this too. A slower season, but probably not a full stop — because your girl is self-employed and the bills still exist.šŸ˜…

But I’m learning that building a sustainable life doesn’t mean constantly running on empty.

And maybe that’s where some of the happiness comes from.

With some new faces around the clinic and summer schedules typically slowing down a bit, we are officially accepting new clients again! ā˜€ļø

We now have 5 amazing therapists on the team, each bringing their own style, strengths, and approach to treatment.

If you’ve been thinking about booking in, now is a great time to take a peek at our online booking and schedule your next massage while availability is a little more open.

We don’t always accept new clients without referrals, so this is a bit of a rare season for us!

Side note… we may be in need of some updated branding photos soon to showcase our new team because things have changed so much over the last 3 years, I honestly can’t keep up anymore. ✨

DM us to book or click the link in bio for online booking!

Friendly reminder that I will be out of the office from May 10 – June 1. ✨

My June and July schedule is now open and already booking up quickly, with limited availability remaining before I begin maternity leave.šŸ¤

At this time, I will not be accepting new clients.

If you’re hoping to get in before I’m away, I recommend booking ahead to ensure you get a time that works for you šŸ“…

Online booking is available for existing clients only. Thank you for understanding. šŸ™šŸ»
