I recently earned a continuing education credit through ABMP's website by watching a recorded webinar called Presence, Boundaries, and Emotional Resiliency, led by Cal Cates and Kerry Jordan of Healwell.

Community service is more than a hobby or a line on a resume. It is a powerful response to the injustices that can make us feel powerless. When systems fail or discrimination persists, serving others reminds us of our shared humanity and the change we can create together.

Las Vegas massage therapist, Christina Aldan, offers chair massages at Kapihan2, a community mental health gathering hosted by Healthy Fil-Am Nayon at the Valley Health System Training Center

Christina Aldan announces the launch of The Lucky Library: a membership-based resource library designed to give people online access to tools, education, and guidance needed to understand their bodies, regulate their nervous systems, and release chronic pain patterns.

Visiting an exhibition like this can be eye-opening. It turns abstract concepts into real, visible structures and shows the beauty of human biology in a way that books alone cannot. Whether you are a student, a massage therapy client, or simply interested in health, seeing anatomy in this way can deepen your appreciation and knowledge.

Guided Imagery - Allowing yourself to settle into meditation. Making any movements or shifts that allow you to relax and feel comfortable. Beginning your connection to your breath. Beginning to lengthen the inhale. Soften. Extend those exhale.

What you’re often seeing is a well-documented physiological loop called the pain–spasm–ischemia cycle (also known as the pain-tension cycle). Once you understand this sequence, a lot of chronic pain patterns start to make sense.

Luckygirl Bodywork is a Las Vegas massage and bodywork practice. The practice upholds professional industry standards that mandate strict client boundaries, safety, and clear professional communication.

A client came to me five weeks after being involved in a serious car accident in which the vehicle they were riding in was struck from the side. They hadn't recovered fully from whiplash.

I love being an instructor at the European Massage Therapy School so much! Future Las Vegas massage therapists are learning anatomy and physiology from me from a humanistic model.

Guided Imagery - Allowing your body to sink down. Imagining a gentle picture full of relaxation being poured over the top of your head. Feel the cool sensation traveling down your forehead, washing away any tension, allowing the thoughts to become clearer, that they can easily wash away with that relaxation. Feeling that sense of relax pouring down through your jaw. Relax the tongue.

Repetitive stress injuries suck. Magnus has been a software developer for decades. He is also a very active person in the gym. Tennis elbow has been causing him a lot of pain these past several months and I was able to offer him some relief, exercises, and share information with him for self-care when he returned to Malmo, Sweden.

After a lifetime of shoulder and neck pain, I was able to give Courtney full range of motion again after one session. Five months later she was still pain-free and agreed to give me a video testimonial.

I worked on Tre's frozen shoulder in one session in the student clinic while we were in school together and helped his pain. 6 months later he still had full range of motion and was pain-free so he was happy to make a testimonial video for me.

We live in a world that doesn't leave much room for feeling things. I recently watched a webinar with Thomas Hübl and Amy Elizabeth Fox. They were talking about coaches and consultants, and so much of what they said applies just as much to anyone lying on my massage table in Las Vegas.

Feel the cool sensation traveling down your forehead, washing away any tension. Allow the thoughts to become clearer that they can easily wash away with that relaxation.

Every morning, before your feet hit the floor, you make a choice. You may not realize you are making it. It happens quietly, in the space between sleep and waking, before the first notification, before the first obligation, before the day has had a chance to tell you who it needs you to be. But the choice is there. And it shapes everything that follows. You choose your filter.

Guided Imagery - Finding presence. Settling into now at this moment. Not needing to change anything, make it different. Just be the observer right now. Gently allow yourself to soften. Coming to a position of meditation, allowing your mind to come to that space. Your body taking on the shape of meditation. Visualizing beneath you the earth, bare earth.
