Ananda Wellness

Chronic pain can make you feel invisible. Especially when no one can find the source. And for women in particular— pain has historically been undertreated, dismissed, or medicated without ever asking why.
I’m not against medication. But I do believe there are other ways. Bodywork. Self massage. Learning what your body is actually trying to tell you.

When my clients come in we work on these patterns together — and I send them home with tools to keep up with it. Because life is stressful. The nervous system responds how it responds. This work — bodywork, self massage, breath, stillness — it’s not a one time fix. It’s a practice.

Trigger points are a recurring theme here — scroll back for more, and there’s plenty more to come.

May you find answers. May you spend far more of your life without pain than with it.
This one is for every woman who has ever been told her pain is just stress. 🙏

Not all massage is the same — and knowing the difference can change how you approach your own care. Save this if it’s helpful. 🙏

This isn’t always the most comfortable work — but sometimes the body is asking for exactly this. Deep shoulder release for a client who needed it, wanted it, and felt the difference after. Therapeutic massage isn’t always relaxing in the moment. It’s about what you walk out feeling like.

Headaches are incredibly common — but that doesn’t mean you just have to live with them.

A lot of the headaches I see in my practice trace back to trigger points in the neck and shoulders. Small, tight spots that refer pain upward in very predictable patterns.

This is Part 1 of a series breaking down trigger points — starting with what they actually are and how they develop.
Part 2 coming soon 👀

Need a lift?
Light glide cupping can gently lift and decompress the tissue—often creating a really satisfying, spacious feeling through the back.
It’s slow, intentional, and always within what your body is ready for that day.

This month has been really special — I’ve loved meeting so many new faces here in Lakewood 🤍

I’m so grateful for the clients who have trusted me with their care, both here and in Syracuse. It means more than I can say.

If you’ve been checking my Lakewood schedule, I’ll be away for about a week, which is why availability is a little limited right now. There are a few openings this week, otherwise booking is pushed a bit further out.

I’m looking forward to being back and continuing to work with both new and returning clients soon ✨
