Do your Muscles, Mind & Soul need "watering"? Self care is so Important! People often ask "why am I so sore?" Or "how did my body get so tight". The reason is usually stress & neglect. Our bodies work so hard everyday and need regular "watering". Book yourself some time to recharge. #selfcare #takecareofyourself #selflove #bookanappointment #metime #masssgetherapy #relaxation #recovery

Let your mind be free this weekend. Stop your mind from racing by taking a moment tonight and write down a list of things that are worrying you. When your done go through each item and ask yourself Is there something I can do about this in the next seven days? if yes then pick a day to address that worry and stick to it! If you cant fix it within seven days acknowledge the worry, realize its out of your hands, cross it off your list. Breath. Let it go. #relaxationtechniques #stressless #livefree #relax #letitgo #mentalhealth #mentalhealthmatters #massagetherapy #reikihealing #longweekend #havefun !!!

Most likely if youve had a massage therapy session your therapist will tell you to drink water afterwards. And heres why. A massage therapy session can actually be dehydrating! We are flushing the tissues of stagnant blood, lymph and metabolic waste, moving new oxygenated blood and lymph into the tissues. Much like a workout at the gym! So after your next massage therapy session to avoid post massage soreness drink more water! Research sais we need between 2-3 LITERS of water a day. I know Im not drinking enough water. Are you? #postmassagecare #masssgetherapy #hydrate #aftereffects #theraputicmassage #deeptissue

Looking forward to using my new GUA SHA tool! Gua Sha tools and techniques can be used with Light or Deep pressure. Gua Sha helps to loosen the connective tissue that covers and surrounds your muscles, and helps to release knots and align muscle fibers. Gua means to scrape and Sha means red markings so this technique typically will mark your skin for a few days if applied with deep pressure. Gua Sha is amazing and works to restore healthy muscle very quickly! Who wants to try it?! #guasha #masssgetherapy #fascialrelease #theraputicmassage #physicaltherapy #RMT #easternmedicine #wholistichealth

TGIF. Are you exausted from this work week?! Ive noticed peoples energy has really been depleted lately. Make sure youre well hydrated, and do something to nurture your body and mind. #bookamassage #masssgetherapy #reikihealing #selfcare # #restandrelaxation #hydration #soremuscles #theraputicmassage www.meridianmassagetherapy.clinicsense.com

Relax Take a deep breath in. Hold it. Release. Open your mouth wide to stretch your jaw. Hold it. Breathe deeply. Release. Roll your shoulders down and back. Hold. Take a deep breath. Let go. What are your favorite ways to relax? #relaxationtechniques #relaxationexercise #breathingexercises #massagetherapy #yoga #meditation #letitgo

CERVICAL DISTRACTION Likely at some point in your massage treatment (if its safe to do so) you will notice your therapist doing a slow steady pull at the base of your skull, AND IT FEELS SOOO GOOD. I even think looking at this picture is making my neck feel better. This is cervical distraction. It brings space between your vertebrae and takes pressure off the nerves by decompressing the spine. It stretches all those little muscles that work so hard to hold up your heavy head. Book yourself a massage. You deserve it! #selfcare #massagetherapy #spinehealth #mentalhealth #painmanagement #releasetension #relax

Check out this great article about our mind heart connection! Its followed by a relaxing breathing exercise that can reset your immune system in three minutes! Thank you Jane Karasek Hogan!

Motivation WEDNESDAY!!! I dont know about you guys but Wednesdays are my hardest days. I hear people say " Im Falling Apart " so often. And mid week is a time you really need to be strong! I truly believe mind set has a huge impact on energy and pain management. Remember you are not falling apart! You are changing. We all are. Getting older and having a job is a privilege and we need to take care of our bodies and mind so we can be our best selves. So stay strong! We can get through this week!! #wednesdaymotivation #staystrong #staypositive #selfcare #massagetherapy #reikihealing #cupping #guasha #theraputicmassage

GREAT NEWS ! It is not mandatory for me to wear gloves for your massage therapy treatment! It is strongly recommended, but the use of skin on skin contact is allowed with proper consent. This is very exciting to me because I know some of my clients were concerned with the depth of pressure they would be able to receive with glove work, and no use of forearms or elbows. I am staying on top of the rules and regulations and I take them very seriously. My primary concern is to... keep you safe! Only after you request and consent to me using skin on skin contact I will remove my gloves and roll up my sleeves. I dont recommend this for anyone who is immune suppressed in any way. Its just nice to know we have a few more options. Bring on the deep tissue massage! To book your massage therapy session go to www.meridianmassagetherapy.clinicsense.com or call/ TXT me @ 709-640-5787 #deeptissue #massagetherapy #covid19 #staysafe #backtowork #bookamassage @ Corner Brook, Newfoundland and Labrador See more

Thought I would share this CBC article about us massage therapists returning to work. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone! I feel for those in chronic pain and have have to wait months for treatment. Even though I will be in full PPE for the first while, I have lots of tools I can use to help ease your pain. Lets hope the guidelines relax quickly, see we can get back to normal! See you in June!

So excited to start booking again! Our expected re-open date is June 8th 2020! There are many guidelines that need to be followed, so at this time I am only booking 4 people daily, and no 30 min apts. I will be in full PPE, and I will be using bleach in my laundry following all safety guidelines given to me by the Massage Therapy Association. I also ask that you stay outside the building until your appointment time, and if you are immune suppressed, or show any signs of cold and flu please stay home. I am really looking forward to seeing everyone again!!! HAPPY MONDAY! #bookamassage #covid19 #staysafe #backtowork #massagetherapy

Happy Mothers day! I have so many amazing women in my life who have taught me so much! Thank you to my mom, granny, my aunties. My "foster moms" in fort McMurray, my work moms here in Corner Brook who always have my back, and to all my friends who have taken care of me. Thank you for inspiration, love, laughter and support. You gals rock!

Aannnd Epsom Salt Baths!!! Use 1 - 2 cups of Epsom salt in a hot bath to sooth sore muscles and joints. Soak for 15-20 mins! Happy Sunday ! #saltwater #soak #relax #hydrotherapy #massagetherapy

Literally and figuratively! Did you know that your posture has a direct effect on your mood, and mood effects your posture?! Its called "embodied cognition". Our bodies posture actually triggers our brain to produce hormones and endorphins. Standing and sitting up straight with shoulders back and head up will trigger increased production of the hormone testosterone giving us a feeling of confidence and strength. Good posture will also decrease the stress hormone cortisol in ...our brain, leaving us feeling a bit more relaxed. While bad posture is linked with pain and depression. Practicing good posture also has a huge musculoskeletal impact. It can relieve neck, shoulder and jaw tension, takes pressure off of your joints helping arthritis pain and nerve related pain. It can also relieve headaches. Set an alarm on your phone to remind yourself to do a posture check every hour or so until you have retrained that mind body connection. Keep your head up and feel the benefits! #posture #mindbodyconnection #confidence #stressless #massagetherapy See more

CUPPING What is cupping?!Cupping is a suction technique that brings new blood and oxygen to your tissues. The type of cupping I do is called massage cupping. It is focused on separating layers of stuck connective tissue like fascia, releasing knots and aligning muscle fibers. It also is amazing for lymphatic drainage, which helps with detoxification and swelling reduction. It brings new blood to the tissues promoting healing and flushing excess swelling which makes cupping great for body and face rejuvenation. It also helps with cellulite. I use glass and silicone cups depending on the treatment. I love cupping! I put cups on myself all the time. I find they give me so much relief. If you have any questions about cupping let me know! Cheers! #cuppingtherapy #massagetherapy #selfcare
