Invite massage into your life to support you in the year ahead, and may 2017 bring health and happiness to you all. 

Daisy Vitality. 
For many of us, the start of a New Year can bring a mixed bag of emotions. On one hand, there is promise of new beginnings, new goals, intentions, resolutions, a new you. On the other hand, you could be experiencing fear or doubt concerning your direction in life, decision making, or how to take action and achieve your goals, which can leave you feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed.

One way to extinguish feelings of stress, anxiety, doubt and fear is bringing you back into your body and return you to a state of presence. 
I believe massage does this beautifully! 

‘Massage is like Meditation’ creating a space of stillness in the body, a quietening of the mind, and connection to the body’s innate wisdom. This personal philosophy is my dedicated intention for each client during a massage session.

Pregnancy massage has long been known to help expectant mothers feel better, a study conducted by the Touch Research Institutes at the University of Miami School of Medicine shows that it may well provide an even more important benefit – reducing the risk of premature births. 

The study's findings concluded that massage provided for pregnant women by their "significant others" led to reduced levels of stress hormones in the mother and thereby increased the likelihood of a successful full-term pregnancy.  Elevated stress hormones can lead to complications during pregnancy including low birth weight and even miscarriage.

What happens when the spine returns to its fluid origins? Bone is connective tissue. It is filled with fluid. What we are seeing is the the choreography of the fluid moving through the connective tissue called bone. Bone maintains its health through its flexibility and adaptability. Breathing from from the sides of the body, using lateral movement is aquatic breathing belonging to our oceanic origins.
