Can minors receive a massage in Orlando Florida?

Young people are dealing with SO MUCH at this moment in time. It's always been challenging but with a pandemic, virtual school, possibly losing a family member to COVID, etc it adds up quickly. If your child has issues with disordered eating, anorexia or bulimia or is recovering from a traumatic experience, this presents other challenges, too. How does this manifest itself in the body? Stomach aches, headaches, sleep issues, frequent illness, difficulty concentrating are j

All About Postpartum Massage in Orlando and Winter Park, Florida

Having a baby puts your body through a tremendous amount of physical and emotional stress, to say the least. Many women take such good care of their bodies while they’re pregnant, and then once the baby arrives, Mom is all but forgotten with the demands of motherhood. Many overlook the recovery time necessary to fully rehabilitate their body afterwards, but pregnancy and the delivery process are just like any other drastic change to the body. There is a necessary recovery t

Staying Social while Social Distancing

Let’s face it: we’re all going a bit crazy with our current temporary way of life. Being separated from our close friends and family, becoming make shift teachers, working from home (if you’re able to), and cooking three times a day; it’s a lot. If you’re an essential worker, although your job has remained the same, the knowledge of the invisible enemy is constantly at the forefront of your mind, not to mention the process you go through when you get home at night to ensur

Massage or Knot in Winter Park, FL is temporarily closed because of COVID-19.

As of 3/20/2020 Florida Governor DeSantis has decreed that all massage therapy businesses close until May 8th. Why? Because massage isn't safe right now. After the President declared a national emergency, both Disney World and Universal Studios closed, and Florida closed all school systems I feel it's the right thing to do. This is my way of flattening the curve which helps stop the spread of COVID-19. The biggest reason Massage or Knot is temporarily closed is that people

Let's talk about how I disinfect my office.

Let's talk about the elephant in the room: Coronavirus We are all mindful of Coronavirus by now so I wanted to take the time to address any concerns you may have. I block out 45 minutes between each appointment. Yes, it's so my body can rest and I can have a snack. But it's also so I can disinfect my office before my next client walks in. This is how that's accomplished: *I wipe down every single surface that I or the previous client touched. That includes my lotion/oil bot

What is Reiki?

REIKI (pronounced "ray-key") is a Japanese technique for relaxation and stress reduction. Reiki is also known to enhance healing on a number of levels (physical, mental, emotional, spiritual); it is adaptogenic and will support you on whatever level you need it to do so. While Reiki is spiritual in nature, it isn't a religion, and doesn't require any special belief system. Reiki was rediscovered by Dr. Mikao Usui in the early 1900's. As in many spiritual traditions

Stress Management for the Whole Family

Stressors come in all kinds of forms: work and school pressures, relationships, health concerns, uncertainty about the future. Even changes that are generally positive can still be incredibly stressful, like gaining a family member or starting a new business. Left unchecked, stress can lead to a host of symptoms, including headaches, disrupted sleep, nausea, irritability, lack of focus, and poor impulse control. Tips for stress management are frequently repeated and generally

Guilt free chocolate pudding

Yes! You can have pudding for breakfast and feel good about it. This pudding is free from dairy, gluten, processed sugar and is filled with healthy fats. It's made from a secret ingredient: avocados. Are you on Team Avocado like I am? #gimmealltheavocados You can have a special treat and feel good about the fact that you're not blowing your clean way of eating. Yes, I know some of the ingredients sound really sketchy (balsamic vinegar in pudding??) but trust me. TRUST ME. If

Massage can help grief in Orlando, Florida

Grief is all encompassing. It affects every single part of you and your life. And unfortunately, there is no way to prepare for it or learn how to deal with it until it happens to you. Added to that, our modern society has gotten rid of all of the things we humans used to do to let the world know that we are in the middle of a challenging time. Things such as putting a black wreath on our front door or wearing a black arm band were used in the past to let the world know to be

So you're pregnant! Yay! But you're having sore hip joints. You haven't slept in days because you can't find a comfortable position. Your neck and shoulders are screaming at you; those areas normally give you trouble but now it's even worse. Your calves are cramping at night and it's hard to jump out of the bed quickly at this stage of the game. Your toddler still wants to be picked up and she/he can't understand why Mommy can't pick her/him up as much as she used to. And you

Why your feet need a massage

We usually don’t think about our feet. Until they hurt. We tend to take them for granted, but like other parts of our body they can get tired, overused, sore, and in need of some attention. When they start to hurt it can lead to many other problems. When your feet hurt you don’t want to do much of anything. You just want to stay off of them. Your body likes to move, though. And your brain functions better when you are active. So foot pain can quickly lead to other issues. Foo

What should I expect from my very first massage?

Massage can be a wonderful thing. But it can also be a bit scary, if you've never had a professional massage before. When you arrive at the office, I’ll have a brief intake form for you to complete, if you haven't already completed the online form that was emailed to you when the appointment was made. We’ll talk about why you’re coming in for a massage and what your goals are for the session: Are you dealing with pain? Do you need/want to relax? A combination of both? I’ll
