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 November Newsletter:

Hello friends,
Welcome to November! How did 2024 go so darn fast?!
I have a few more spots in my Yoga for the Chakras Retreat in Mexico!
It will be Jan 25-Feb 1 2025.
Join us for healing, rest and fun!

Do you ever nap? Resting throughout the day is so healing and balancing, especially if you tend to stack your schedule and drive yourself to DO things. Falling asleep might not happen, but resting with a guided meditation or in a restorative yoga position (Legs up the wall or lower legs on the seat of a chair for example) can be so rejuvenating!
I'm addicted to the Insight Timer meditation App! So many different guided meditations of various lengths on different topics including napping!
Sometimes I will lay on my massage table and rest and stretch in between clients. Or do a backbend over the middle to unhunch my back. So helpful.
As we head towards Winter see if you can balance out all of your doing with some restful being and perhaps napping.....
I will be teaching yoga the day before Thanksgiving if you want to come!
Love, Niki
P.S. I have a coach named Joielle Shepherd who is a trained Love Mentor. She literally helps people to have more love in their lives whether they are single or coupled. What a gem! She has a brilliant mind, huge heart, and a perfect blend of bold honesty and gentle encouragement. She has been so helpful for myself and my husband both individually and as a couple. Give her a try if you're struggling to love yourself or to navigate difficult situations or emotions in your life. I am so grateful for her guidance!

"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"
