Art has the remarkable ability to connect people, ignite emotions, and depict the beauty of our surroundings. Diane is a local artist; her studio set in the beautiful landscape of a small town where she gets lost in the quiet solitude that allows for a plentitude of inspiration. Her passion for art ignited at a young age as she found comfort in using colors and brush strokes to express her thoughts and feelings and even had a dream of working as an illustrator for Disney. Her

Happy Sunday Everyone, I’m writing this morning from a very low place. I’m not doing this to bring people down, but rather to let people know that it’s ok to not be fine all the time. As humans we handle great pain, loneliness and intense feelings in the dark. At home away from prying eyes and judgement, as though we don’t want to admit that we feel deeply. In yoga they say we need to walk through our feelings, let them come to us and truly feel their presence; as though ackn

Good Morning Everyone! I want to start out by saying that I love all of you and appreciate the gift you give my life. It is the people we have community with who deeply enrich our lives ✨ It’s also Monday, and Mondays are great for fresh starts! A chance to start anew and have hope for a future filled with love, happiness, growth, and peace. I will be talking about Trauma today, so it’s a bit of a serious topic, but necessary for us in our quest to understand, empathize and c

Happy rainy winter day everyone! I wanted to talk about some of the conversations I've had lately with some fellow massage therapists; the important and unique role massage therapy plays in our healing journey and some of the unique experiences massage therapists deal with on a daily basis. First I want to say that being a massage therapist is one of the greatest gifts I’ve experienced in my life. Never could I imagine having a front row seat into someone’s life as they navig

Good Morning everyone! In the spirit of the holiday season, I want to talk about the importance in finding joy and getting in touch with that sense of childlike wonder that we once had. As we grow up, we tend to lose that sense of excitement, wonder and joy in the simple things. We cease to ask questions and be curious, we get lost in the routine of surviving, while focusing on worry, fear and stress. It's understandable; it's hard to be excited about things like taxes, hea

Good morning everyone and happy Veterans Day! If you have the day off, I hope you enjoy this time and can spend it with those you love 💗 I was reminded over the weekend, by a dear friend, that everything I am is a gift; the good, the bad and eveything in-between. That there are unique layers, like the rings in the bark of a tree, that make up the layers of my life, and everyone in my life has the privilege of knowing me, and I them. Every moment in our lives leads us to this

Good Morning everyone! It’s been a little while since I’ve written… but it’s not for lack of trying. It took me a while to figure out what I was going to write about. Let’s just say, I’ve had some writer’s block. Finally, I settled on something that can be seen as a combination of spring cleaning and the season of Lent. I want to talk about ways we can surround ourselves with a world that promotes happiness and a healthy mental state of being. Our world is what we make it.

Happy Valentines Day everyone! I hope everyone woke up this morning feeling loved and nurtured in one way or another. I woke up from a...

Happy Wednesday everyone! I wanted to talk today about something that’s been on my heart, and something I think we’ve all experienced at some point in our lives. We’ve all been in a relationship, whether it be a friendship or romance, where we experience an imbalance; often times giving more... or putting in more effort than the other person. When you’re in this type of relationship, you spend most of your time thinking about the other person, caring for them and wondering wh

Happy Sunday everyone! I want to talk today about the lost art of setting boundaries, and how important it is to protect our peace. There...
