Summer isn’t over just yet ☀️ but here’s a look at some of the conditions I’ve been seeing on repeat this season!

Just a little reminder to check in with your body today. 👀

Move around, drop those shoulders, unclench your jaw, and maybe stop sitting like a shrimp. 🦐😂

Your body will thank you for it. 🤍

Honestly, there’s no such thing as a weird request in my treatment room. 😂

Want the fan? We’ll crank it.
Want 2000s pop? Absolutely.
Want to smell aggressively citrusy? I support it.
Want to leave looking like an octopus won? Apparently that’s happening too. 🐙

What’s something you’ve always wanted to ask for during a massage but were afraid it was a weird request? 👀

Vacation is great.

A few days away. No rushing. Sleeping in. Doing absolutely nothing for a change.

And sometimes you come home feeling like a completely different person.

But then Monday happens. 😅

The emails start. The to-do list grows. Life gets busy again… and suddenly those tight shoulders, headaches, jaw tension, and constant feeling of being “on” start creeping back in.

That’s because a few days of rest can feel amazing without actually fixing the reason you were so exhausted in the first place.

As an RMT, I see this all the time.

Someone finally lies down on the table, takes a deep breath, and realizes just how much tension they’ve been carrying.

Not necessarily because anything is “wrong” — but because their body hasn’t had much of a chance to switch off.

Massage can’t magically erase stress or give you another week of vacation.

But it can give you a pause.

A chance to unclench your shoulders.
Take a deeper breath.
Let your muscles relax.
And spend an hour not having to do anything for anyone else.

And honestly, I think we need more of that.

Rest shouldn’t only happen when we’re on vacation.

Your body shouldn’t have to completely fall apart before you give it some attention.

Sometimes taking care of yourself looks less like adding another thing to your routine…

…and more like finally giving yourself permission to stop for a minute.

Your next vacation can still be the highlight of your year.

But hopefully, you don’t have to wait until then to feel rested. 🤍

Indie Head Massage Essentials ✨💆‍♀️

A little look at some of the essentials that make an Indie Head Massage extra relaxing

🌿 Essential oils
✨ Jojoba oil
🫧 Scalp scrub
🌀 Facial cupping
🔥 Hot stones

Each one adds something different to the treatment, from creating a calming environment to helping release scalp, neck.

Because sometimes your head needs a little TLC too 🫶

How long should you book? ⏰💆‍♀️

Not sure if 45, 60 or 90 minutes is right for you? Here’s a quick guide:

45 MIN
Short on time? This is a great option for focused work on one area of the body or a specific concern. Effective and easy to fit into your day.

60 MIN
The most commonly booked service! Perfect for 1–2 areas of targeted focu, with some work on adjacent areas. Not ideal for multiple areas of targeted focus or more extensive bodywork concerns.

90 MIN
Ample time to work on multiple areas of concern. Ideal for upper + lower body focus, or a full-body massage with extra attention on your problem areas.

Still unsure? Reachout anytime or ask during your next appointment 🤍

Chronic Pain Starter Pack 🤝

When your muscles have decided they’re going to be tense, stubborn, and completely unwilling to cooperate 😂

Cupping
IASTM (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)
Muscle Relax Spray

Different tools, same goal: help reduce tension, improve mobility, and get you feeling a little more like yourself again.

Chronic pain isn’t always a quick fix, but the right combination of treatment, movement, and consistency can make a difference.

What’s in your chronic pain starter pack? 👀

Every treatment is customized to you ❤️

From the pressure used to the lighting, music, and overall treatment environment, every detail is tailored to help you feel as comfortable as possible.

When your mind feels relaxed and your nervous system feels safe, your body is better able to let go of tension. This allows your muscles to relax more naturally, making your treatment both more comfortable and more effective.

Your comfort isn't just an extra—it's an important part of the treatment.
