In my first post, I mentioned a few recurring themes that would likely show up throughout this blog. I am a big believer in serendipity, kismet or being in the right place at the right time. But I don’t think serendipity is just about coincidence or luck. It’s about being open to opportunities that present… Read more »

Love what you do, do what you love! Part 2
In part 1, I chronicled how I sort of fell in to massage school after a friend invited me to attend an open house at Educating Hands School of Massage. Never intending to make a career out of massage therapy, I thought massage school would be fun and that massage would be a nice way… Read more »

Sports Massage During the “Off-Season”
Around this time of year I often experience a strange phenomenon at the office that I will call the “Off-Season Lull,” characterized by the absence of many of my clients who are competitive runners, triathletes, golfers, etc. As the weather warms up they return much like Robins, the harbingers of Spring.

People often ask if it is good to get a massage when you have a cold. There are many different theories about… Read more »

He competed his last two events in the team competition with a broken patella, helping Japan… Read more »
Groundhog, Schmoundhog!
February is such a great month. You’ve got Valentine’s Day, which I like to refer to as “Honey” Day but not for the reason you may think. I call it Honey Day to remind me to start taking my daily spoonful of local honey, so that my pollen allergies aren’t so bad come Spring. Perhaps… Read more »
All about the knots
Unlike my struggle to come up with a name for my new massage business, when it came time to decide on a logo I knew right away that I wanted a Celtic knot. Seems kind of counterintuitive right. After all, isn’t the idea to get rid of the knots? Allow me to explain… A few… Read more »
