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.  

Active children often face physical challenges that come with their busy lifestyles. Whether they are involved in sports, martial arts, dance, or just enjoy running around, their muscles and minds need care to stay healthy.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

I had the rare opportunity to join this world by providing sports massage to the artists and crew backstage at the Kà Theatre inside the MGM Grand.

Owner Christina Aldan of Luckygirl Bodywork announced the opening of her new massage studio inside Beauty & Bodyworks Studios at 9550 S. Eastern Ave., Suite 237. The studio is located within Silverado Park Place, home to community anchor businesses including BJ's Restaurant and Big 5 Sporting Goods.

After graduating from my massage program, I had a two-month waiting period for my massage license to process. I am horrible at sitting still, so instead of pacing in circles I decided to travel to visit a friend in Stavanger, Norway. Of course, I had to book bodywork while I was there. I found Triangle Studio Stavanger and scheduled a 90-minute session with an MFR therapist named Carlynn.

Finding the right place to welcome clients is important. I chose the Silverado Park Place in Henderson because it offers convenience, comfort, and a welcoming atmosphere. The shopping center is located just off the 215 on S. Eastern Avenue, making it easy to reach from many parts of the city.

Last Sunday, I had the chance to spend another day on the UNLV campus, working alongside the Rebel Football team’s trainers during my internship with the UNLV Athletics Department. Being part of the team that supports these dedicated athletes has helped me understand the unique challenges and rewards of sports massage.
