Welcome!
I love helping people to slow down and decompress.
After doing massage for 29 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.
Here's my January Newsletter:
Jammy: Describing something that is pleasantly fortunate or lucky, often in a surprising way, bringing joy and satisfaction (fortunate, serendipitous, felicitous). “They always land in jammy situations, luck favoring them at every turn.”

In the sleepy, healing beach town of Troncones.

Hello friends,
Happy New Year from my heart to yours! Wishing you peace, prosperity and growth in 2025!
I hope that we can all find ourselves in "jammy" situations this year with luck favoring us at every turn! But alas! Life isn't always like that right? However this concept of Pronoia may help:
"The opposite of paranoia, which means that the universe is out to get you, is pronoia.
The concept of pronoia was developed by Rob Brezsny, one of my favorite astrologists and a fantastic writer. Rob has a book called Pronoia.
Pronoia is the idea that the universe is out to support you. You can be paranoid, or you can be pronoia.
It’s up to you because whatever you decide, your mind will naturally look for ways of validating your decision. You get to choose how you interact with the world and what events arise from your outlook."
— Clara Roberts-Oss
How can you employ pronoia this year? I like to say Positive but not unrealistic Pollyanna!
Next month begins my 30th year of doing Massage!! Whaaaat?! Apparently I'm getting old.....but still love my career in Bodywork.
In honor of my 30th anniversary I am raising my prices beginning February 1 (after three years of no increase). My new prices are listed below.
Love, Niki
Excerpt from Desiderata which loosely translates to Desired Things:
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.
Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.
With all its sham, drudgery and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful.
Strive to be happy.
"Desiderata" was written in 1927 by Max Ehrmann (1872-1945)

"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"
