Lately, I’ve realized that I’ve been coming back to my roots.
When I graduated massage therapy school, I loved treating with my whole body. I trusted what I was feeling through my hands, relied on my training, and moved intuitively throughout a treatment.
Then life changed.
After my accident, I no longer had the strength, stamina, or energy I once did. Like many people navigating recovery, I adapted the best I could. But in doing so, I slowly moved away from some of the things that felt most natural to me as a therapist.
What I didn’t realize at the time was that I had also lost some of my connection to my own body.
When you’re disconnected from yourself, it’s difficult to fully connect with others.
Over the past several months, I’ve been working hard to rebuild that relationship with my body. To listen more closely. To trust it again. To understand its limits while also recognizing its strengths.
And something beautiful has happened along the way.
I’ve started treating the way I was taught again.
Using my whole body.
Moving more naturally.
Trusting my assessment skills.
Feeling more connected to the work.
More importantly, I feel more connected to my clients.
Every treatment is still tailored to the individual in front of me, but there’s a level of presence and awareness that has returned—one that I didn’t fully realize I had been missing.
Healing isn’t always about returning to who you were before.
Sometimes it’s about rediscovering parts of yourself that were there all along.
This season has felt a lot like coming home.

Eight days away, surrounded by giant trees, ocean views, and nowhere I needed to be except exactly where I was.
One of the biggest things I took away from this trip was a reminder that I spend so much time trying to anticipate what’s next that I sometimes forget to fully experience what’s happening right now.
Over those eight days, I found myself coming back to the same thoughts:
✨ What will be, will be.
✨ Let go of what you can’t control.
✨ Stay in the present moment.
✨ Make space for gratitude and joy.
And honestly, I think this lesson applies just as much to parenthood as it does to life.
So many parents I meet are carrying the weight of doing everything “right.” They’re thinking about the next milestone, the next challenge, the next thing they should be working on.
But some of the most meaningful moments happen when we pause long enough to notice what’s already here.
The way your baby looks at you.
The tiny improvements that happen over time.
The moments that feel ordinary now but won’t always be.
This trip was a reminder for me to slow down and appreciate the season I’m in.
I hope you can find a little space to do the same 💜
