We live in a world that often teaches us to hide our emotions—to smile when we’re sad and stay calm when we’re angry. But emotions aren’t problems to fix; they’re messages to feel and understand.
Ten years ago, I learned to feed my emotions—to give them space, attention, and compassion instead of pushing them away. In doing so, I discovered how deeply our hormones, feelings, and behaviors intertwine—and how gratitude grows from emotional awareness.
November invites us to pause and thank the one who’s carried us through it all: our body.
As I celebrate another year of life, I’m reminded that gratitude isn’t just a feeling—it’s a practice of slowing down, listening, and caring for the body that holds us. This month’s Thank Your Body session invites you to nurture yourself with awareness and grace before the holiday season begins.
When was the last time you truly slowed down?
This fall, I returned home to Maine with my daughter to spend slow, simple days with my mom—picking apples, baking pies, and collecting sea glass along the coast. In that quiet rhythm, I was reminded how deeply our bodies crave stillness and warmth as the seasons change. October’s Release & Replenish Massage is inspired by that feeling—an Ayurvedic ritual to ground your nervous system and guide you gently back to yourself.
What is your body whispering to you this season?
Our bodies speak in whispers—through tension, fatigue, or scattered thoughts. September’s Back-to-Body Reset Massage helps you pause, listen, and restore balance before those whispers become shouts. This treatment supports deep reconnection and self-awareness as we transition into the stillness of fall.
Can you feel the shift from summer ease to fall routine?
In August, I see it in nearly every client—tight shoulders, shallow breathing, minds racing ahead. The shift from lighthearted summer to structured fall is real, and our bodies feel it first. This month, I’m inviting you to come Back to Balance with a grounding massage designed to restore calm, reconnect you to yourself, and carry you through the season with clarity and strength.
Looking for a simple, energizing way to support your body’s natural detox process?
Ayurvedic dry brushing—known as garshana—is an ancient self-care ritual that stimulates circulation, clears lymphatic congestion, and restores vitality. Learn how to practice this time-honored technique at home, when to do it, and why it’s especially powerful during Kapha season to renew your body’s rhythm from the inside out.
Does your body crave rest even in the brightest season?
We often think of summer as the time to go-go-go—packed schedules, long days in the sun, endless activity. But beneath all that brightness, your body may be asking for something different: rest and restoration. Hot days tax the nervous system, leaving us overstimulated and depleted. Summer is actually the perfect time to pause, cool down, and let your body reset.
