Four Oaks Day Spa

I love being the first one up and the first one at the spa—waking Four Oaks up before the day begins. 🤍

There’s something magical about those quiet mornings. Turning on the lights, getting everything ready, and enjoying those few peaceful moments before the doors open and the day comes to life.

Before the conversations, the laughter, the music, and the sound of people coming and going… it’s just me and this little place that has become such a huge part of my life.

These are the moments I know I’ll look back on someday and miss. The early mornings, the quiet, and getting to watch Four Oaks wake up for another day.

Definitely memories I’ll cherish. 🌿✨

🌿 Continuing My Education: An Introduction to CranioSacral Therapy 🌿

I recently had the opportunity to take an introductory course in CranioSacral Therapy (CST) through the Upledger Institute, and I’m excited to continue learning more about this gentle and fascinating approach to bodywork.

So, what exactly is CranioSacral Therapy?

CST is a very gentle, hands-on bodywork technique that uses light, sustained touch—often around the head, neck, spine, and sacrum. Unlike traditional massage, there isn't a lot of kneading, deep pressure, or forcing muscles and tissues to release.

One of my favorite ways to explain what I’m learning is:

✨ Instead of telling the body to relax, we create an environment where the body may feel safe enough to relax on its own. ✨

Our brain and spinal cord are surrounded by protective membranes and cerebrospinal fluid. CranioSacral Therapy focuses on gentle contact with the body and awareness of subtle tissue movement and restrictions within and around this system.

The touch can be incredibly subtle. Someone receiving it might even think, “Are you actually doing anything?” 😂 But during that stillness, people may notice their breathing becoming deeper, their jaw or shoulders softening, warmth or tingling, a sense of heaviness or lightness, or simply a very deep state of relaxation.

For me, what makes this especially interesting is how it connects with the nervous system.

We tell ourselves and others to “just relax” all the time—but relaxation isn't always something the body can simply be commanded to do. Sometimes it needs time, quiet, gentle input, and a supportive environment before it begins to let go.

Less force. More listening.

I also believe it's important to be transparent when talking about any modality. CranioSacral Therapy is considered a complementary approach, and research into its mechanisms and effectiveness is still developing and debated. It isn't a replacement for appropriate medical care, and I don't believe any form of bodywork should be presented as a cure-all.

This course was my introduction to CST, not the end of my education in it. I’m looking forward to continuing to learn, practice, and expand my understanding before incorporating more of these techniques into my work.

Eight years into being an LMT, and I still absolutely love being a student. 💜

🌿 Want to learn more? The Upledger Institute has information about CranioSacral Therapy, its history, education, and training at upledger.com, and research on CST can also be found through PubMed (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov).

✨ Day Two of Continuing Education at AIM ✨

Day two, and I am loving every minute of being back here. ❤️

One of the things I have always loved most about the Ashland Institute of Massage is that when you walk through these doors, the education becomes about so much more than learning massage techniques. Of course, becoming a better therapist is the goal—but AIM has a beautiful way of taking you on a journey inward at the same time.

You learn about the body, you learn new techniques, and you learn how to better support your clients—but somewhere along the way, you also learn yourself. You discover how you work best, how you connect with others, how to trust yourself and your intuition, and how to bring who you are into the work you do.

AIM truly changed my life for the better. In some ways, I can genuinely say it helped save it.

Coming back here always feels like coming home. It's so easy to melt right back into the safety of this space. There is such positive, grounding energy here, and every instructor I've had the privilege of learning from has helped create and carry that.

I'm incredibly grateful to be back, learning, growing, reconnecting, and adding another beautiful tool to the work I love. 🌿

Some places teach you a career. Some places help you find yourself along the way. AIM has always been both for me. ❤️

✨ Continuing Education Day! ✨

Back at the Ashland Institute of Massage for an introduction to Craniosacral Therapy with Caitlin! 💆‍♀️🌿

There is always more to learn, more ways to grow, and more tools to bring into the treatment room for my clients. I’m so excited to begin learning more about craniosacral work and how it can complement the therapeutic techniques I already use.

AIM has such amazing instructors, and after graduating from here years ago, it feels so good to be back home. ❤️

Here’s to continuing education, growing in this career, and never being done learning. 🌿✨
