I’ve taken this past week to be proudly queer + taking up all the space that’s rightfully mine.
As a queer LMT (in training ) trauma-informed energy medicine + yoga practitioner, I’m here to create a sacred haven for my bipoc & LGBTQ+ community to build safety within + return home to themselves. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️

Salvo chapters are so long and I get behind with them.
This being a holiday weekend didn’t help either. 🫠
I will prevail 🙏🏾📿

Idk what P ate but he was nonchalantly farting + not saying excuse me or pardon! Nada!
And they smelled! I couldn’t get the smell out of nostrils for the rest of the night.
It was interesting working with outside of that. He could sue experience working with bodies other than J & B.

She’s going through a lot so she needed some much needed self-care. I checked in on her the next day + she felt so much better and that the massage was great and it definitely helped.
She wouldn’t have gotten one if Lori hadn’t insisted.
No receiving for me. All good I felt good supporting.

Weds during lab we learned stomach/abdomen massage.
It’s very interesting to receive it. I was the patient that night. It felt good, haven’t had any work done since my surgery. I could feel the connective tissue thicker in my pelvic area.
I patterned w/ H, she got a 75 min. therapeutic massage.

We continued to learn forearm muscles and deep tissue this past week.
I have couple chapters to complete but it’s coming along.
This weekend I’ve found a good balance between my work and school.
I’d made myself believe I had to put the admin + marketing to the side until Oct.
Nope.

Ages 0-4 are the most important, emotionally & intellectually, in human development.
Yet, in the US, we have a very high rate of childhood poverty and a broken child care system.
Congratulations to New Mexico for leading the way forward for high quality, free child care. Other states must follow.

We finally got to do some hands tonight. J & B were a bit concerned about the “slow” technique but I told them to stay open to this new thing bc it has a purpose.
We all came out with more understanding, confident, and brains happy with this new knowledge.

I went in thinking “I know nothing” deep tissue massage is not about putting your olecranon process (elbow) in deep into someone’s muscle.
While it is pressure but more about technique. 5 strokes of deep tissue are very different from Swedish massage. Some are similar.

Week 13 and we’ve started deep tissue strokes.
5 strokes
Running the fascia
Cross-fiber friction
Compression
Stripping
Feathering
Everyone thought deep tissue was something else. Deep string pressure into muscles. Nope!
