As you settle into meditation, allowing your body to take on a seat of strength and power. Feeling your spine become more elongated and erect. Feeling your chest rise in pride and accomplishment. As you breathe in, feeling strength coming into your lungs. And as you softly close your eyes, at the same time allowing a sense of ease to cover your face, to drop through your shoulders. Noticing that both power and ease can happen at the same time.

If you have scars that may be impeding movements, and you are in Las Vegas, massage may help! You may book time on my massage table.

After surgery, your body goes through a tissue remodeling phase and forms scar tissue as part of the healing process. While this tissue is necessary, it can sometimes stick to the layers around it, including fascia, nerves, and muscles.

Last month I traveled to Oak Ridge, Tennessee, for the first time. There, I earned 16 live Continuing Education (CE) hours and a certification in Myofascial Swedish massage. As a Licensed Las Vegas massage therapist, I’m always looking for ways to deepen my practice.

Have you ever wondered what happens during a massage intake session? If you’re new to therapeutic massage or curious about what to expect, I’m here to walk you through the entire process from your arrival to the end of your treatment. Understanding this first step can help you feel more comfortable and confident when you book your first Las Vegas massage appointment with me.

At least once a week I lace up my shoes and head outdoors. This simple routine has become essential to my life and work as a Las Vegas massage therapist. Walking the walk and talking the talk about balance is not just a phrase for me, it’s a lifestyle.

If you’re having IT band pain, the solution usually isn’t to stretch the IT band itself, it’s to build up your booty. When the glute muscles do their job, they absorb and distribute more force, taking pressure off the overworked IT band.

Owner Christina Aldan of Luckygirl Bodywork announces the expansion of her massage practice to include Las Vegas mobile massage services and throughout the valley, offering bodywork in clients' homes, during events, and in workplace settings.

Yes, I really do look at the bottom of your shoes during the intake part of your Las Vegas massage appointment. Not in a weird way. Not to judge. And not to comment on your taste in footwear. I look because your shoes tell me things you probably don’t even realize your body has been saying.

While bursitis can cause pain, many cases actually stem from tight fascia and restricted tendons converging around the greater trochanter. This area forms what I call a Fascia Fan, layers of connective tissue that can become stiff and limit movement.

Lower back pain often stems from tight muscles, inflammation, or restricted fascia —the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. It even winds through your muscles. When fascia becomes stiff or stuck from long periods of contraction or scar tissue, it can pull on muscles and nerves, causing pain that feels deeper than a simple muscle ache.

Begin by settling in allowing your body to be comfortable and at ease. Connecting to the breath in whatever way is useful to you today. Feeling your body move as you bring in the inhale and as you release the exhale. Finding some comfort in the rhythm of the breath. The constant reminder that the present moment is always happening.

People ask why I say I'm forming a platypus bill with my hands instead of duck bill. It’s not just a quirky choice. It’s a way to explain how I approach healing, especially for those struggling with chronic pain. I have a Bachelor's Degree in Ecology and Environmental Sciences. My degree taught me that the platypus is a unique species. Unbeknownst to many, a platypus bill is soft, sensitive, and collects sensory feedback. That’s the kind of touch I bring to my bodywork, and i

Attending a John Barnes’s Myofascial Release (MFR) Seminar designed exclusively for patients opened my eyes to how this therapy can transform overall well-being. If you are a patient seeking healing or a therapist wanting to deepen your skills, this seminar offers a unique opportunity to unlock the power of MFR.

If you spend most of your days sitting down, an elbow in the butt might be just the thing you need. That achy buttcheek feeling is more common than you think, and it’s often misunderstood.

There are days when healing feels like a full-time job. Some mornings, I wake up and think, “Not today, please. Not another breakthrough. Not another ‘lesson.’ Can the body just stop keeping score?”

Getting a chance to work backstage at Cirque du Soleil is a rare and thrilling opportunity. I was lucky enough to do it twice, and each time it felt like stepping into a world where athleticism, artistry, and discipline come together in perfect harmony.

Hiking is one of the best ways to improve mental well-being. The Historic Railroad Pass Trail offers some of the best hiking views in Vegas. It is a peaceful environment that encourages mindfulness. Being outdoors, breathing fresh air, and moving your body can reduce stress, anxiety, and depression. For those wondering what to do in Las Vegas beyond the usual entertainment, hiking at spots like Railroad Pass is a perfect option.

Having had the opportunity to work alongside their trainers in the locker room for the 2025 football season, I know how much hard work and dedication it took to end the season strong.

Last month I was lucky enough to fly to NYC and celebrate my bestie's birthday and meet up with friends. This wasn’t a business trip. It wasn’t educational. It was joy-forward, connection-heavy, nervous-system-approved self-care. We saw "Chess, the Musical," which just re-opened on Broadway. It's her fave. It was my first Broadway show (yes, I know. Somehow I made it this far without Broadway. Look at me grow.)
