Do You Have One Of My Top 10 Favorite Disorders?!

   Of course Id love for my clients to be in perfect health and happiness, but seemingly very few of us are always at 100% everyday. What makes me love these disorders? The first hand experiences and the gratification my clients tell me of their relief. This feedback gives me a strong sense of purpose, how many more people are out there that I could help improve their quality of life?  *cape blows in the wind and I shout "HAVE NO FEAR, ASHLEY THE LMT IS HERE!" * 1. Plantar Fasciitis  2. Thoracic Outlet Syndrome  3. Depression/ Anxiety/ Mental Imbalances 4. Headaches/Migraines  5. Arthritis/carpal tunnel  6. TMJ  7. Frozen Shoulder  8. Mysterious/obscure back pain  9. Surgery Recovery 10. Sciatica     In no particular order (and definitely not limited to). Everyone is different therefore improvement time varies as well as frequency of appointments needed. Thank you and goodnight! ☮

Carving Out My Very Own Tiny Piece

of this Mysterious Bodywork World. Massage is an entirely vague word in a million aspects- the term, the verb, the career, the results, the experiences, the perceptions, the power, the emotions, the luxury, the science, the healing... I could go on and on. Most Massage Therapists, don't even agree on techniques, or even what they should be called...Masseuse, Massage Therapist, Bodyworker? As I continue to navigate through this very vague world, I need to find MY way. The best way for me to process information is to write and loved ones have told me hundreds of times to share my thoughts with the world, so Blogging it is! Cheers to those who follow my journey, with no real destination but really just goals and pit stops of decisions made and paths created by me!
