Peaceful Progress Massage

For the person who ends the day with that heavy, achy feeling between the shoulder blades…

You keep rolling your shoulders, shifting in your chair, stretching against the doorway…anything to get a little relief.
You don’t even realize how much you’ve been bracing until you finally lie down on the massage table.
Afterward, your shoulders feel like they’re sitting where they belong again.
Your chest feels a little more open. Turning and reaching feels easier. And that constant feeling of carrying your upper body around all day?
It’s quieter.

Sometimes the goal isn’t to “fix” everything.
Sometimes it’s simply helping your body feel a little less burdened.

Friends + clients: I have a small favor to ask. 🩵 I need your help establishing my Arkansas Google page as a legitimate, professional massage practice.

Reviews obviously help other people know what to expect when they’re looking for a massage therapist, but there’s another reason they’re especially helpful right now:

Unfortunately, newer massage listings with fewer reviews can sometimes attract a lot of inappropriate messages, calls, and “requests”.

Having a well-established Google page with real client reviews helps make it very clear what kind of professional practice Peaceful Progress Massage is.

So if you’ve worked with me either in CO or AR and feel comfortable sharing your experience, I’d be incredibly grateful if you would on my Arkansas Google page, even if your massage happened at my Colorado practice.

Just a sentence or two means a lot. I would be so grateful.

Thank you for trusting me with your care…and for helping me build Peaceful Progress Massage in Arkansas. 🩵

For the person whose hips start complaining after a day of standing…or sitting…or hours behind the wheel...

At first, it’s just a little stiffness.
Then you stand up and have to take a second before everything feels like it wants to move again. Your hip feels tight when you walk. Your low back starts joining the conversation. You shift from side to side trying to find a comfortable position.

After a massage, getting up feels different.
Your stride may feel a little more natural. Your hips feel less guarded. Moving doesn’t require quite as much thought.
Because whether your day keeps you on your feet or planted in a seat, your body still needs opportunities to move, soften, and recover.

Happy Halloween!! 🧙👻🎃

💜 As Domestic Violence Awareness Month comes to a close, I want to leave this here for any woman who needs to hear it:

You deserve to feel safe.

You deserve relationships where your boundaries are respected, your voice matters, and you don’t have to make yourself smaller to keep the peace.

And if you’re not ready to leave, don’t know what to do next, have gone back, or are still trying to understand what you’re experiencing…you still deserve support.

There is no perfect timeline for surviving.

And for those of us who love someone we’re worried about, helping doesn’t always mean convincing them to leave.

Sometimes helping looks like:

💜 Believing them
💜 Listening without judgment
💜 Not confronting the abusive partner yourself
💜 Asking, “What would feel helpful or safe for you right now?”
💜 Helping them connect with a domestic violence advocate who can make a safety plan
💜 Keeping communication and resources private if sharing them could put them at greater risk
💜 Continuing to be there, even if their choices aren’t the ones you would make

Abuse often takes away a person’s choices and sense of control.

Support should help give those things back.

October may be ending, but survivors need compassion, resources, safety, and people willing to stand beside them all year long.

I’ve had the privilege of either working for or volunteering with all three of the organizations I’ve highlighted this month, so I’ve seen firsthand just how important the work they do is.

They show up for survivors and families during some of the hardest moments of their lives…and they need our support so they can continue doing that work.

If you’re able, please consider reaching out to one of these organizations and giving what you can, whether that’s your time, your money, or simply helping share their mission.

Supporting the organizations that support survivors matters. 💜

To every survivor: I see you. I believe you. And I’m rooting for you. 💜

What a week, Arkansas. You guys kept me busy. I’m kinda speechless. 😊🩵 And so, so grateful for everyone who came in!

November is already starting to fill up, so if you’ve been thinking about getting a session in before the holiday rush hits, now’s a good time to grab your spot.

A little time to slow down time to take care of yourself before the busy season begins. ✨

If you know me, you know how much I love basketball, especially Razorback basketball. ❤️🐗🏀🤍

My favorite sport. My favorite mascot. And getting to be back in Bud Walton Arena with a couple of my favorite people makes it even better. Such a great night.

There’s just nothing quite like calling those Hogs with that huge crowd of fans. Gives me chills every time.

AND this season we get to watch the partner of one of my kiddos play in the Hog Wild Band!! ❤️🐗🎷🤍 So fun.

Looking forward to more games this season. WOO PIG!! ❤️

That tension in your neck, shoulders, hips, or back probably didn’t show up overnight.
It may have been building for months.
Sometimes years.

Hours at a desk. Long drives. Repetitive work. Stress. Old movement patterns. The way you brace without even realizing it.

So one massage can feel wonderful…but that doesn’t mean years of tension disappear in 60 or 90 minutes.
That’s where consistency matters.
Each monthly session gives us another opportunity to work with what’s still holding on.

A little less guarding.
A little more ease.
A little more awareness of what your body is doing between visits.

You don’t have to be back at square one every time.
We just keep moving a little further down the road.
