Bluem Herbal Bodywork

Practice the hard things now, so that they are easier later! We can so quickly and unexpectedly loose our mobility. Just like brushing your teeth every day keeps the plaque away, so too does practicing a little movement regularly keep the joints fresh and healthy.

Come practice with me at the Flow Space in Avon. Classes are always Monday and Tuesday evenings 💚

Work hard, play hard they say. Feeling soreness from it all is your body telling you it's needs some tender love and care! Self care, like massage therapy, can help you continue playing hard through the summer. ☀

The next full moon comes right at the start of July! Full moons are always a great time to self-reflect, do something that honors natural cycles, and set some intentions for life. What will you do for this coming full moon???

As always, you'll get 25% off of your appointment during the full moon week!

As wonderful as the natural world is, it is equally... not wonderful. These are good considerations during the summer just in general. If you are experiencing any of these, please let me know! Some of them, like a small blister or rash I can easily work around. Others, like poison ivy, oak, or sumac will pose a risk for yourself and others. Part of my job is to do no harm. Letting me know what's going on with your body ~before~ you get on the table helps me accomplish that goal with less complications.

That being said, I hope you are enjoying the sunshine we get between the storms! Stay safe, and don't die! ☀️

The Summer Slow Flow is just around the corner. I'm aware that it is inconveniently on Father's Day, but that was the best time I could arrange to get it booked. Maybe just bring your father with you as a nice time together??

As always I'll be making snacks, tea, coffee, and bringing some fruit for you to enjoy during the practice. It's low pressure. It's relaxing. It's a time to reconnect and momentarily lay down the worries and stressors of the world.

You can register in person, by calling the Flow Space, or by registering online. The phone number and link are:

I've attended the classes, and played around on my own with the techniques. I'm officially adding Myofascial Release as a separate service to book!

It's not just another modality of massage. It's a whole different approach to bodywork, It works with fascia. Fascia is a form of connective tissue that touches every system in the body. It's going beyond just muscles, tendons, and ligaments, and addressing how these tissues function together as a whole. Even though the approach is gentle at first, the work still gets deep just like massage therapy. In fact myofascial release is a great adjunct to massage, PT, stretching and any other methods of self-care!

The booking options are 30 minute and 1 hour sessions. These can be booked as stand-alone sessions or bought as a package of 3 for cumulative sessions!

I'm here to answer any questions you may have! I'm thrilled to be offering this service, and I hope it helps you guys stay mobile and with less pain in your day-to-day lives! 💙

Reaching a plateau can feel discouraging. It doesn't have to be. A teacher once told me "If it starts to feel easy, good! Keep doing it." The same is true for bodywork! We'll have some sessions where it feels like a lot is getting worked out. We'll have other sessions where it feels just... meh. Like regular maintenance.

Quick reminder that regular maintenance is still a requirement to maintain function! You don't stop getting oil changes after your first one do you? You don't wait until your car sounds like a rattling heap of scrap before getting another oil change do you? Why treat your body, the thing that lets you live, any different?

Moreover, having a place of non-judgement to go and actually rest can be more therapeutic than attempting to force some kind of change. A place to just breathe. A place to stop clenching and posturing yourself perfectly.

Next week is a full moon week! If you are scheduled, enjoy your full moon discount. If not, maybe this is your sign to come lay on my table.

The new certifications!!

I've been back from the MFR classes for a couple weeks, and am slowly figuring out how to add it to my list of services. Stay tuned, it will be on there by June!
