90 minutes fixes it.
But what if we could make it stick?

Massage meets movement. Relief meets results.

Important Update: Rate + Service Changes — August + September

Hey everyone — heads up on changes coming to Functional Massage Therapy. Rolling these out in phases so it’s easy to follow.

Phase 1: Rate Adjustment — Effective August 5
Reset 60-min: $150 was $130
Resolve 90-min: $180 was $160

That’s 2 weeks from today. If you already have an appointment booked before Aug 5, you’re locked in at the current rate. Any bookings made for Aug 5 or later will be at the new rate.

Phase 2: Service Menu Update — Effective September 1
Functional massage sessions will officially be called Reset and Resolve starting September 1.

I’m also retiring the standalone “Deep Tissue” and “TMJ” session options on August 5.

Why? Because labeling a session by technique was putting us in a box. Every Reset and Resolve session already includes deep work, TMJ work, cupping, scraping, etc. — whatever your body actually needs that day. You’re not paying for a modality. You’re paying for the outcome.

If you’ve been booking “TMJ” specifically, you’ll book Resolve 90-min after Sept 1 and we’ll still address your jaw, neck, and everything connected to it. Nothing changes about the work. Just the name.

New options like the Body Maintenance Membership will also launch September 1. Details coming closer to that date.

Questions about what to book? DM me.

Why the changes?
To keep delivering the 1-on-1, results-focused care that actually gets you out of pain, I’m capping my client load. Fewer clients = more time, attention, and better outcomes for each person you see on my table.

I don’t take insurance and I don’t do 3-clients-per-hour. This shift keeps it that way.

Coming in October: Deep Resolve 2-Hour Intensive
I’m finalizing a new 2-hour option for chronic, complex cases where 90 minutes gets you relief but doesn’t make it last. This isn’t “more massage.” It’s assessment + hands-on work + nervous system reset + movement integration so your body learns to keep the results.

If you’ve been stuck in the pain → relief → flare-up loop, this will be for you. Waitlist requests: DM me “2-HOUR”.

Thank you for trusting me with your body and your results. I don’t take that lightly.

📅 Important Update: New Hours Start Sept 1

Big news — I found an awesome practitioner to share my space with starting in September. To make room for both of us to serve more people well, my schedule is shifting Monday, September 1.

New hours will be:
Wed & Thurs: 2pm-7pm
Friday: 10am-4pm
Saturday: 9am-2pm (2nd & 4th of each month)
Sunday: Closed

I’m excited about this change because it also lets me roll out some upgrades to how I work with clients over the next few months.

What’s coming:
→ Simplified sessions — you book time, I handle the rest
→ New options for people ready to break the pain cycle for good
→ Dedicated rates staying in place for Students + Uniform Services because community matters

I’ll share details on each change as we get closer to Sept 1. If you’re a current client and need to get on the books before the switch, now’s the time. August is already 70% full.

Questions about the new hours? Drop them below or DM me.

P.S. If you’ve been waiting for a sign to finally fix that nagging back/hip/shoulder issue… this is it. The way we work together is about to get a whole lot more effective.

Real talk: Massage gets you out of pain.
Strength keeps you out of pain.

I’ve been doing both on myself for years. Now I’m bringing it to you.

Starting August 1, you have 3 ways to work with me:

Body Maintenance Membership — Full Fix
Monthly massage + 2x strength training per week with me.
This is for people done with the 2-week pain cycle. 5 spots only. $597-647/mo

Training Add-On — Test Drive
Already my massage client? Add 4x 45-min training sessions this month. $280
You’ll feel the difference in how long your massage results actually last.

À La Carte Session — Dip Your Toe In
One 45-min training session. $80
For when you just want to see what this “patch the hole” thing is about.

Here’s my honest advice:
If you use your body for work and you’re tired of being tight again 2 weeks after massage, the membership is where the magic happens. That’s why I cap it at 5 people — so I can actually change how your body moves.

But I get it. $597/mo is a commitment.

So here’s the deal for August:
Start with the Training Add-On for $280. Do it for 4 weeks.
If you decide to upgrade to membership by Sept 1, you’ll lock in Founding Member pricing forever, even when it goes up.

If you don’t love it, you spent $280 to learn what your body actually needs. No hard feelings.

Members get first pick of training times. À la carte books what’s left.
Only 5 membership spots. Unlimited à la carte, but I’ll be honest — it’s not the cheapest way to get results.

Want to try the Add-On in August? Comment STRONG or DM me PATCH.
Want to grab a membership spot? Those go to VIP list July 30. Comment FOUNDER to get on it.

Questions? Drop them below. I’d rather you ask than stay stuck in the cycle.

We don’t talk enough about the seasons where we lose our footing.

I’m gonna be real with you all. The last year and a half has been mine. Divorce. Looking for connection in places that left me emptier. I let that cloud my judgment and, if I’m honest, I stepped back from my practice. My focus drifted, and my business felt it. Bookings dropped from 16+ clients a week to maybe 10.

Here’s what I’ve learned: The choices we make when we’re hurting don’t just affect us. They ripple. But they don’t get the final say.

I’m back. Fully. I’ve been doing the work on myself — personally and professionally — because I expect the same commitment from my clients that I’m making to my own path. Healing isn’t a straight line. We fall off, we course-correct, we renew.

If you’ve fallen off your own self-care — if the massage, the movement, the quiet hour for yourself got pushed to the bottom of the list — I get it. Consider this your sign. Your body and mind deserve that same commitment. Let’s get back to the table — the massage table — and do the work together.

I’m also expanding into personal training and movement coaching because healing isn’t just about the hour you spend with me. It’s about how you move, live, and show up the other 167 hours of the week. More on that soon.

The table is open. Ready when you are.
