Welcome!
I love helping people to slow down and decompress.
After doing massage for 30 years, I still enjoy slowing down, honoring the healing spirits, and helping my clients to release tension.
In our fast paced society massage is a blessing that helps us go within to our own peaceful place to become more aware of our body's needs.

Agenda-Free: Not having an agenda or a plan of things to be done or problems to be addressed.
Fall into the present moment by whittling down your agenda and allowing room for newness and spontaneity.
Hello friends,
I know planning is really important sometimes. BUT lots of times we plan or expect or assume and could really benefit from letting go, accepting, and exploring with curiosity.
From Rodney Yee's book Yoga: The Poetry of the Body:
"When you do Yoga it's important to trust your intuition instead of always having an agenda, a set sequence, in which you're going to just paint by numbers. It might be good just to listen and play and feel what arises. This might seem advanced, and confusing at first, and even, possibly disturbing, but these are all aspects that are associated with not knowing. If you go into the practice realizing that you don't know, just as you might walk around a city that you're not familiar with, then you're prepared for being lost. You don't get frustrated about not knowing because you don't expect yourself to know. This allows you to use curiosity and exploration as the foundation for your movement and action.
Falling from the present moment into the next moment. Falling from the observation of what is into the unknown. So that's what we're trying to say in this book. We don't have to know what yoga is. We just fall into it."
The same can be said for many things. What else can you explore with curiosity and open questions? Have a fabulous month!
Love, Niki

"You are not enclosed within your bodies, nor confined to houses or fields. That which is you dwells above the mountain and roves with the wind. It is not a thing that crawls into the sun for warmth or digs holes into darkness for safety, but a thing free, a spirit that envelops the earth and moves in the ether. If these be vague words, then seek not to clear them. Vague and nebulous is the beginning of all things, but not their end."
-Kahlil Gibran

"Listen with ears of tolerance.
See through eyes of compassion.
Speak with the language of love."
-Rumi
Anything that is not love
is only a visitor to your body.
You are not anxious
stress is simply flowing through you.
You are not permanently depressed,
sadness is simply visiting you.
You are not lost,
confusion is simply wandering within you.
And you are not broken,
pain is simply passing through you.
-Tahlia Hunter
Inspired by Rumi's poem "This being human is a guesthouse"
