Stressed out? Overwhelmed?
Too much to do and not enough time to do it ?

Most people tend to keep going in life and don't take the time to "Stop and smell the flowers", as the expression goes. The more we stress out and not find relief the more life seems unbearable.

You have heard us say "It is important to take care of yourself" at the end of a session. Why do we say this? Here are a few key reasons:
Massage releases endorphins, the body's natural feel-good chemical, which can ease anxiety and stress. By helping muscles truly relax, massage lowers blood pressure, increases deep sleep, reduces fatigue, and increases energy. Like yoga, massage can also induce a meditative state or heightened awareness of the present moment, manifesting in emotional and spiritual balance.
Getting regular massages can reduce your stress level and help to see life in a better way. During this busy holiday season remember to take that time for yourself. You matter!! :-)
