For a long time, I’ve wanted to create something that extended beyond the massage table.

Something you could take home.
Something simple, grounding, and made with care.

So I started blending herbs.

Introducing TLALLI
a botanical line by Respira Bodywork.

The first offering is Raíz, a calming herbal tea made with chamomile, lemon balm, rose, and lavandin.

The idea is the same as what we practice in the studio:
slow down, breathe, and reconnect with the body.

Soon this tea will be served after sessions at Respira — and available in small jars to take home.

More to come 🌿

✨ Introducing the Respira Practitioner Circle ✨

Bodyworkers spend so much time holding space for others… this circle was created so therapists can be held too.
The Respira Practitioner Circle is a monthly gathering for massage therapists and bodyworkers to rest, reflect, and connect in a supportive peer environment. This is not a class or CE — it is a space focused on sustainability, boundaries, and community within the work we do every day.

🌿 Open to massage therapists & bodyworkers at any stage

🌿 Community-centered and intentionally paced

🌿 Optional sharing, listening always welcome

🗓 March 11, 2026
⏰ Doors Open: 5:30 PM
🌬 Circle: 6:00 PM – 8:00 PM
📍 Chicago, Illinois 60607
Spots are intentionally limited to keep the space safe and intimate.

This year, saying Happy Thanksgiving feels bittersweet. Many families are navigating the holiday with someone missing, for many different reasons. Still, I believe we can hold onto gratitude—wherever we are and wherever life is taking us.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of Respira Bodywork, from the very beginning to today. Your support and love mean the world to me. ❤️
Three years in, and I’m grateful for every moment—and for however many more the universe allows. Thank you, truly. 🙌❤️
