Massage is not a one size fits all service 🙅‍♀️

The ideal treatment time, how often you should come in, and what kind of results to expect all vary depending on your individual goals, tension patterns, and daily habits.

Think of each treatment as a plan made just for you, because it is 🫶

What’s on your menu this December? 🎄

I’ve been thinking a lot about what it means to do good when everything feels so chaotic.
I’ve decided that maybe it’s less about changing the world and more about showing up where you are needed.

For me, that’s here.

In a quiet room made for rest and recovery, where someone can come to be listen to, cared for, and respected.

I can’t fix the world, but I can help someone breathe a little easier in theirs. 🍂

A groundbreaking discovery suggests that a simple face and neck massage could help the brain stay cleaner and healthier. Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology have identified a network of tiny lymphatic vessels just beneath the skin in the face and neck of mice and monkeys. These vessels drain cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which removes harmful proteins such as beta-amyloid, a major contributor to Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s.

Previously, scientists believed these vessels were located deep in the neck, making them hard to stimulate. But with special dyes and a new type of anesthesia, they found them much closer to the surface. To test their function, the team created a small device that gently stroked the animals’ faces and necks. Just one minute of this massage boosted CSF flow by nearly three times, with older mice showing fluid movement similar to young mice.

Early tests in monkeys reveal similar promise, and researchers have even identified comparable vessels in human cadavers. While more studies are needed, including trials in Alzheimer’s models, this gentle, non-invasive method could one day help people reduce brain waste buildup, potentially slowing age-related decline and lowering disease risk.
