Several years ago I decided it was time to consider a second career in massage therapy (more on that in a future blog). Suffice it […]
An active massage therapy practice is the result of hard work, education, and a credible professional reputation.

Ethical dilemmas are a part of our society and to think we are never going to be […]

We are constantly trying to find better packaging options for our jojoba skincare and haircare product, particularly, closures that dispense drops of jojoba (since a little goes a LONG way) and that don’t leak. Nothing is perfect, but sometimes small changes can make a big difference. In the coming months, you will be noticing a […]

In fact, it’s recommended for oncology massage because cancer patients are so sensitive (see Geralyn O’Brien’s article for the Integrative Cancer Review).
